Hopeful fans will have to be online a few minutes before tickets go on sale on the 14th and 17th November.

Glastonbury Festival has announced a major upheaval in how its tickets are sold.

In a post published on the festival's official website yesterday, 5th November, the Glastonbury team said that a new automatic queue system would be introduced to the booking process, meaning that fans will have to be waiting online before tickets go on sale on the 14th and 17th November.

The previous ticket booking system meant that fans had to constantly refresh their browsers to be put in the queue, but now places will be randomly assigned to those who are already online when sales go live. Those who join later will be placed further down in the queue.

"As part of our ongoing efforts against ticket touting," the statement reads, "anyone who hopes to attempt to book tickets for the Festival would need to be individually registered in advance of the ticket sale."

The new process is similar to the existing one used for a lot of major concerts and purports to cut down loading time and inefficiency. The number of tickets available to each user will be capped at six.

Ticket prices for Glastonbury 2025 are set at £373.50 (plus £5 booking fee).

No acts have been confirmed for the 2025 line-up, but tickets are expected likely to sell out just as quickly as in previous years. Last year, general admission sold out in 58 minutes.
