The first batch of tickets for Glastonbury 2023 have sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale this evening as thousands flocked to get their hands on them. A number of names are favourites to headline the festival next year, including Eminem, Taylor Swift and Arctic Monkeys.
The coach tickets, which include transport to the Worthy Farm venue in Somerset, were all bought after being made available at 6pm on Thursday.
At 6.23pm, Glastonbury's official account posted: "The Glastonbury 2023 coach + ticket packages on sale this evening have now all been sold. Thank you to everyone who bought one. Standard tickets are on sale at 9am GMT on Sunday morning (and @nationalexpresswill offer coach travel to standard ticket holders from across the UK)."
Eminem is 5/1 to be one of three headliners amid reports he's in advanced talks, while Arctic Monkeys remain odds-on favourites at 1/10. Tickets for the 2023 bash set revelers back £335 plus a £5 booking fee, however, it's predicted they will increase significantly over the years.
Investment specialists Saxo reckon it could be costing you £500 come 2030 - that's a 20% more than what fans are paying now.
Anaam Raza, financial expert at the company, said: "With inflation returning to a 40-year high of 10.1 per cent, the general public will need to be cautious of rising prices across the board.
"Glastonbury tickets are no exception, yet our research shows that the cost of attending the UK’s biggest festival will come at a premium this year and prices will continue faster than ever before despite millions dealing with an everyday cost of living crisis.
"By 2030, our data projects a Glastonbury weekend ticket could cost as much as £500 using the average rising price - news no music lover wants to hear.
"However, it is fair to say the price of almost everything will rise over the next few months as the banks and Government battle to balance the sheets to avoid any further tightening on consumer spending - and as inflation cools, these projected prices for years to come will hopefully be lower than predicted."
