Organizers have announced that the initial batch of tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2025 disappeared in just half an hour.
Attendees of the festival faced a new ticket booking system when coach travel tickets became available for purchase at 6:00 PM GMT on Thursday.
Instead of needing to constantly refresh the page when tickets became available, fans were given a spot in line at random.
An announcement on the official festival X account was made at 18:32, declaring that all tickets had been sold out. This information was also posted on their website.

See Tickets later announced on X that they are now sending out confirmation emails to all individuals who purchased coach tickets for @Glastonbury this evening.
Standard tickets will go on sale this Sunday at 9:00 AM.
This comes just a week after the renowned festival revealed new methods for fans to participate in its ticket booking system.
The shift occurred after attention was drawn to several problems in the online ticket industry, such as dynamic pricing practices and the resale of tickets by scalpers.
The topic gained attention when Oasis tickets went on sale in September, leading both the government and the UK's competition authority to promise an investigation into the practice of raising prices based on demand.

The Glastonbury Festival in 2025 is set to happen from June 25th to June 29th.
To combat ticket reselling, Glastonbury attendees are required to register ahead of time in order to purchase tickets for the festival, scheduled to occur at Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 25 to 29.
Tickets for Glastonbury 2025 are priced at £373.50, along with a £5 booking fee. This reflects an increase of £18.40 from the 2024 ticket cost of £355, which also included a £5 booking charge.
Last year, tickets for the coach were snatched up in just 25 minutes, while regular tickets were completely sold out within an hour.
Emily Eavis, the organizer of the festival, has mentioned before that 2026 will be a break year for Glastonbury, providing the land with a chance to rejuvenate. However, she is already discussing potential headliners for 2025.
The 2024 festival marked a significant milestone as it showcased two female headliners on the Pyramid Stage for the first time—Dua Lipa performing on Friday and SZA taking the stage on Sunday.
On Saturday, Coldplay became the first band ever to headline the festival for a fifth time, setting a new record.
