Tickets for Glastonbury will be available starting today at 6 PM (November 14). Many people are eager to get their hands on the coveted passes for next year’s festival at Worthy Farm. The festival has implemented a new queue system at glastonbury.seetickets.com for this year's ticket sales.
There haven't been any big-name acts revealed for next year’s festival yet, but last year's tickets were gone in just a few minutes, which left a lot of fans feeling let down.
The festival, scheduled for Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday, June 29, 2025, has announced a ticket price increase of £13.50 compared to last year's rates. This means that a full weekend general admission ticket will now be priced at £373.50, along with a £5 booking fee. In contrast, tickets for the 2024 festival were priced at £360.
This indicates that the price of a Glastonbury ticket has increased by over £100 (£108.50) over the past six years, given that tickets were priced at £265 along with a £5 booking fee in 2019.
The update was announced on Tuesday, November 5, before the sales events scheduled for November 14 and 17.
According to a statement on the Glastonbury website, "The booking procedure for 2025 will remain similar to previous years, but the method of entering the booking system is being updated."
Instead of constantly refreshing the holding page to get to the booking page, starting this year, when ticket sales kick off (either at 6 PM or 9 AM), everyone already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com site will be randomly placed in a queue to enter the booking process.
According to the announcement, anyone who signs in after the sale begins will be placed at the end of the waiting list. Therefore, it's crucial to be online and prepared a few minutes before the sale starts.
Five Easy Tips For Scoring Tickets
These days, large ticket sales for concerts often lead to letdowns, so it's wise to be ready for anything.
Here are five helpful suggestions to ensure you get your tickets.
• A reliable internet connection. You definitely don't want your internet to drop right when you're trying to complete a transaction.
• Timing is crucial. Make sure to visit the tickets page on the Glastonbury See Tickets website exactly at 6 PM on November 14, or at 9 AM on November 17 for the general sale. So don't forget to set your alarms!
• Have your payment information ready. Ensure that your bank details are accurate, including the correct billing address, and be prepared to answer any extra security questions that your card provider may require (this is common when purchasing several tickets). Agree to the terms and conditions and be sure to finalize your checkout within the given time frame. When you get to the payment page, you will have five minutes to enter your payment details, so double-check that everything is filled out correctly. You'll see a countdown timer on the right side of your screen.
• The event isn't officially over until the Glastonbury website displays a SOLD OUT sign. So don’t panic if you come across a notification stating that “all available tickets have now been allocated.” This just means that the orders are currently being processed, but there will likely be a few individuals who run out of time, allowing those tickets to become available again. A heads up: if you make an error while entering your details, your registration number will be locked for up to five minutes. The same applies if you’ve already attempted to book, or if you simply run out of time on the booking page. If the transaction doesn’t go through and tickets are still available, your registration number will be freed up, giving you another chance to try for tickets.
• Stick to a single browser tab. According to the Glastonbury website, using multiple tabs while purchasing tickets can lead to confusion and may cause your transaction to fail. To prevent any issues, Glastonbury recommends that you only have one tab open when attempting to secure your tickets.
Certainly! However, I'll need the specific section of the blog that you'd like me to rewrite. Please provide the text you'd like me to transform.
When Do Tickets Go On Sale?
The packages, which include bus travel, will be available for purchase starting at 6 PM GMT today, November 14.
You must be registered with Glastonbury to purchase a ticket, but keep in mind that the registration deadline has already passed.

Tickets for resale are expected to become available in April, although the specific date for this release has not been announced yet.

Glastonbury 2025 Ticket Prices Revealed
The cost of tickets for Glastonbury 2025 has risen by £13.50 compared to last year, making the price of a full weekend general admission ticket £373.50, in addition to a £5 booking fee. In contrast, general admission tickets for the 2024 festival were priced at £360.
In the past six years, the price of a Glastonbury ticket has increased by over £100, specifically £108.50. Back in 2019, tickets were priced at £265, along with an additional £5 booking fee.
Justifying the rise in ticket prices for the 2023 festival, which increased from £265 in 2019 to £335, Emily Eavis stated, “We’ve worked hard to keep the ticket price increase as low as possible, but we’re dealing with significant increases in the costs of operating this large event, all while still bouncing back from the substantial financial hit taken during two years without a festival due to Covid.”
What's Covered In Your Ticket Price?
Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival grant you access to the event and its extensive array of over 100 stages. You'll also enjoy five nights of camping at no additional cost, a festival program, mobile phone charging stations, an on-site newspaper, a mobile app, firewood, and activities for children.
According to the Glastonbury website, a portion of the ticket sales is allocated to the festival's charity partners, such as Oxfam, Greenpeace, and WaterAid. These funds also help enhance the festival’s infrastructure and minimize its environmental effects.

"Using The New Queue System Made Easy"
When individuals are waiting in line, a progress bar will show how near they are to accessing the booking page.
Glastonbury ticket buyers are advised to avoid refreshing the page or using different devices or tabs, as doing so could result in losing their spot in line.
When they get to the front of the line, they will need to provide the registration number and postcode for the main booker, as well as for a maximum of five other individuals for whom they are trying to purchase tickets.
People purchasing tickets have 10 minutes to finish filling out the page before their session times out, but tickets aren't assigned at this moment.
Next, they'll need to verify the names of the individuals for whom they're purchasing tickets, as these details cannot be altered after they complete the booking process.
After all the details have been verified, fans will be directed to the payment page. Here, they'll need to provide their billing address and payment details, as well as agree to the terms and conditions before finalizing their purchase within the given time frame.
Fans should be careful not to minimize the window or navigate away from the tab at this stage. Tickets will only be assigned once the payment has been successfully completed.
