After a three-year break Glastonbury came back with a bang for 2022 with headliners Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Diana Ross and performing in front of 200,000 festival goers.
Despite the huge turnout at the famous festival there were a reported two million people who missed out on tickets when they went on sale back in 2019, before the festival was suspended due to the Covid outbreak. The 2022 festival takes place from Wednesday 22 to Sunday 26 June and the 2023 festival is likely to take place in June.
Every five years, Glastonbury Festival is put on hold for a ‘fallow year’ to prevent excessive damage to the site and allow local people to rest. The last one was 2018, but with two cancellations thanks to the pandemic there is not going to be one until at least 2027.
The festival is going to be back for 2023 and there are reports headliners have already been booked for next year's event, although they will be announced closer to the date.
Usually tickets begin to go on sale around October on the Glastonbury festival website. Below is everything you need to know about securing a ticket for the festival.
How to get a ticket for Glastonbury 2023?
The only way to bag a Glastonbury ticket for 2023 is to register on the festival website with a photograph of yourself. This is to prevent touts reselling tickets. Only the ticket buyer can use the ticket and the ID ensures tickets cannot be transferred.
There are extensive security checks at the festival itself to ensure the original ticket holder is the one attending the festival.
Everyone aged 13 or over who intends to buy a ticket must have their own valid registration number and if you intend on buying tickets for a group of people, they will all need to be registered. Registration can be done at any time in the run-up to the day the tickets go on sale.
When do tickets go on sale for Glastonbury 2023?
No date for 2023 ticket sales has been set yet - although the first ones normally go on sale in early October for the following year. Once the tickets do go up for sale online, it is advised to have a couple of devices loaded with the virtual queue as traffic into the website is often very heavy, which can make it unreliable.
