General admission tickets for the 2027 Glastonbury Festival sold out in 42 minutes on Sunday morning. Thousands of fans joined a virtual queue at 09:00 BST to secure spots for the event, which returns to Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 23 to 27, 2027, following a fallow year. Organisers confirmed the sell-out shortly after 09:40, noting that demand had significantly exceeded the available supply.
By the numbers
Pricing and Ticketing Process
General admission tickets were priced at £408, a figure that includes a £5 booking fee and marks the first time the cost has exceeded £400. Buyers were required to pay a £100 deposit, with the remaining £308 balance due in early April 2027. This year, organisers implemented a tweaked ticketing process that required fans to enter registration details before accessing the queue, with each registration tied to a single position to prevent multiple attempts across different devices.
Fan Experience and Future Resale
While many fans reported technical frustrations with the virtual queue's visual progress bars, others expressed satisfaction with the fairness of the new system. Organisers have stated that any cancelled or returned tickets will be made available during a resale period in Spring 2027. The festival, which features over 100 stages, has yet to announce its headliners for the upcoming edition.
