Glastonbury's Emily Eavis defends ticket price hike as fans slam 'unaffordable' cost

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has defended the festival's rising ticket prices for next year's event after a huge backlash.

Emily says she and her fellow organisers 'tried very hard' to keep the price increase to a minimum but are 'facing enormous rises in the costs of running this vast show' - in addition to dealing with the financial blow due to not being able to host the much-loved festival for two years thanks to Covid-19 restrictions.

Tickets for the 2023 festival will cost £335 plus a £5 booking fee for standard tickets, with £50 as a deposit and the balance due by the first week of April.
