Glastonbury 2027 tickets sold out in around 40 minutes on Sunday, October 4, leaving thousands of fans without a place at Worthy Farm and immediately turning attention to the festival’s next major ticket opportunity: the official resale in April 2027.
Tickets for @Glastonbury Festival 2027 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.

General admission tickets went on sale at 9 a.m. BST. By about 9:30 a.m., Glastonbury reported that half had been sold, and shortly after 9:40 a.m. the festival confirmed the allocation was gone. Confirmation emails were then sent to successful buyers.
Glastonbury 2027 tickets disappear after huge demand
The rapid general sale followed the ticket-and-coach packages, which sold out in less than 30 minutes on Thursday.
Demand comes as Glastonbury prepares to return following its 2026 fallow year. The 2027 festival is scheduled for June 23-27 at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Remarkably, fans committed to the festival before its full 2027 lineup had been announced, showing that demand extends well beyond any individual headliner.
When is the Glastonbury 2027 resale?
Fans who missed Sunday’s sale are expected to get another opportunity in April 2027, when returned and cancelled tickets are offered for resale.
An exact resale date has not yet been confirmed in the information available. The number of tickets will also depend on how many existing bookings are cancelled or not completed, so availability could be limited.
Fans should follow the official Glastonbury Festival website for resale announcements rather than trusting unofficial dates circulating online.
How much are Glastonbury 2027 tickets?
General admission costs £408, taking the headline price above £400. Successful main-sale buyers paid a £100 deposit per person, with the remaining £308 due in April, plus an £11.25 postage fee per order.
The price highlights how dramatically Glastonbury has changed. Tickets were £286 in 2010 and £318 in 2019. Admission to the first festival in 1970 cost just £1 and included a free pint of milk from Worthy Farm.

New queue rules changed the ticket battle
This year’s queue became a major talking point. Buyers were required to enter their registration number and postcode before joining the virtual waiting room, with those already waiting assigned positions when sales began.
Glastonbury advised fans not to refresh the page or use multiple tabs or sessions. It also recommended disabling ad blockers and VPNs and making sure browsers were updated.
Buyers reaching checkout could purchase up to six tickets using the correct registration details and postcodes for everyone in their group. Incorrect details could lock registration numbers for up to 10 minutes — a significant setback during a sale lasting only around 40 minutes.
Missed out? Avoid unofficial ticket offers
The immediate aftermath of a sellout can attract unofficial offers and scams. Glastonbury tickets are personalised and linked to registered festival-goers, so fans should not assume a ticket advertised by a stranger can simply be transferred.
See Tickets is the authorised public ticketing route. Waiting for the official resale is safer than responding to offers on social media or unofficial resale websites.
Competition for major music events remains intense. Fans have faced similarly high interest around other major concerts, while the Ed Sheeran Gillette Stadium cancellations showed how quickly major live-event plans can change.
Other legitimate ways to attend Glastonbury
Missing both ticket sales does not necessarily rule out Worthy Farm. Around 800 traders operate at the festival, while thousands of volunteers work with organisations including Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace UK.
Those opportunities involve genuine applications and work commitments rather than simply providing alternative admission. Volunteer duties can include stewarding, campsite support and other festival operations.
For those unable to attend, the BBC is also expected to provide extensive television and online coverage. Meanwhile, resale hopefuls should concentrate on keeping their registration information current, watching official announcements and preparing for April rather than risking money on unofficial tickets.
