Tickets for the 2025 Glastonbury festival have sold out in 35 minutes, with disappointed fans left staring at the “green bars of doom” on their screens while queuing online until being told they had missed out.
The passes went on sale at 9am on Sunday and event organisers said at 9.35am all the tickets had been sold. The price was £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee – an £18.50 rise from the 2024 festival.
Organisers said on X: “Tickets for Glastonbury 2025 have now sold out. Thanks to everyone who bought one and sorry to those who missed out, on a morning when demand was much higher than supply. There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2025.”
The seller, See Tickets, wrote: “Tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2025 are now SOLD OUT. Confirmation emails are going out now. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets this morning and sorry to those who missed out.”
Last year, the main tickets were gone in less than an hour after being put on sale at 9am.
The first group of 2025 tickets, incorporating coach travel, went in less than 30 minutes earlier this week. Organisers were keen to encourage people to use environmentally friendly travel options with the combined ticket and coach package.
An automatic queue system has been introduced whereby fans need to be online before the start of the sale and have a valid registration number. Registration for 2025 tickets closed on 11 November and fans could buy a maximum of six tickets per person.
About 210,000 people attended the 2024 festival in June.
The artists playing next year are yet to be announced but the festival organiser Emily Eavis had said she was in talks with potential headline acts.
This year’s festival had two female headliners on the Pyramid stage, Dua Lipa on Friday and SZA on Sunday. Coldplay made history at the festival as the first act to headline it five times.
Eavis has said 2026 will be a fallow year for Glastonbury to allow the land to recover.
