Glastonbury ticket prices have gone up by £20 to £360 and are now £100 more expensive than a night of top-rank Italian opera in the best seats at Covent Garden.
These standard tickets make June 2024’s Glastonbury the most expensive popular music festival on the market so far, and will not cover any additional perks, such as glamping accommodation. A top price ticket to see Verdi’s La Forza Del Destino at London’s Royal Opera House this month would set you back £245. A season ticket for a major football club, such as Arsenal, currently costs between £973 and £1,895. This year more than 200,000 people attended Glastonbury, with a record 21.6 milllion watching the BBC’s television coverage.
