What time do Glastonbury tickets go on sale? When coach sale starts and best tips to get them

Today marks the day when the long-awaited tickets for the Glastonbury Festival in 2024 are finally available for purchase, after being delayed for two weeks.

Initially, the initial set of tickets was scheduled to be available for purchase on Thursday, November 2. However, organizers released a message through social media that the release date was postponed and registration was reopened just hours before it was set to go live.

Regrettably, it has been revealed that a few hopeful ticket buyers for the 2024 event have realized, post the registration deadline on Monday, that their registrations have been cancelled, even though they thought it was all sorted. To ensure parity amongst all such individuals, the festival organizers have decided to open the registration window again.

Glastonbury 2024 Ticket Sale Date?

There are two primary types of sales: The initial one is for tickets with a coach travel package, and the second is for regular tickets that do not include coach travel.

Please be aware that if you purchase a coach ticket, it is mandatory for you to travel on that specific coach. It is not allowed to arrive at the festival separately using another means of transportation.

Ticket Prices: What's The Cost?

To attend the festival, you will need to purchase a ticket for £355, and there is also a £5 fee for making a booking. When booking, you will need to pay a deposit of £75, as well as the cost of coach travel if you choose that option. Compared to the previous year's festival, the ticket price has gone up by £20 and the deposit has increased by £25.

The remaining amount of the payment is settled during the initial week of April in the year 2024.

Buying Glastonbury Tickets: Tips & Tricks

You can only buy tickets from glastonbury.seetickets.com.

To avoid the practice of touting, you need to enroll for a ticket purchase by registering yourself. To get enrolled, you can visit our online registration page.

If you don't currently possess your registration number, you can retrieve it by submitting your email address on this platform.

Only a certain amount of individuals will receive permission to enter the reservation website simultaneously. While you are in queue to access the reservation site, you will be temporarily placed on a waiting page until a spot opens up on the site for you to initiate your reservation. The page will refresh automatically every 20 seconds in search of availability on the reservation page.

When there's a lot of people visiting the See Tickets website, you might be shown a simpler version of the booking page. Don't worry, this doesn't mean the site is down! It just means there's a lot of traffic and the site is handling as many people as it can.

When making a purchase, you have the option to buy six tickets all at once. Remember to provide the name, registration number, and postcode for every person included in the booking. Please note that once you've completed the transaction, you won't be able to modify the individuals on the booking.

When you're making a reservation for a ticket and coach travel, you'll have to pick the departure location (and select a time if there are numerous departure times available). Keep in mind that only one departure location can be booked at once.

To complete your transaction, you must possess a valid debit (applicable only in the UK) or credit card that has enough balance to cover the entire amount being transacted, along with all the necessary security details for the card.

Once you arrive at the payment page, you will have a span of five minutes to provide your payment details. The remaining time will be displayed on the right-hand side of your display.

How To Secure Event Tickets: Helpful Tips

My initial suggestion may seem illogical: avoid opening many tabs. It may seem like having more tabs open increases your chances, but the reality is quite different. It only confuses the website and raises the likelihood of you being kicked out of the queue (due to caches and algorithms that are beyond my understanding of the internet).

Alternatively – although it may not be a simple task – it would be more advantageous to possess several gadgets, each with a distinct tab placed in a separate lineup. Consequently, if feasible, prepare your cellular phone, computer, or even your relative's iPad (basically any device that can connect to the World Wide Web). To be clear, Glastonbury discourages this practice as it goes against the festival's values, so heed my guidance at your own peril…

Having a group of friends who are helpful and well-prepared can be beneficial when trying to secure Glastonbury tickets. With the option to purchase up to six tickets at once, each individual friend joining the virtual queue increases the likelihood of successfully purchasing a ticket. Although this also means more competition, the Glastonbury sale is a rare opportunity to prioritize your own desires, similar to how one would on their birthday.

If, by the grace of God, you successfully pass the line, what occurs next? You will land on a page where you have the opportunity to enter the specific tickets you desire. Additionally, you will need to provide your registration information (email address connected to your Glastonbury account, postcode, and registration number) and your card details.

The upcoming sale happening tomorrow at six o'clock is exclusively for coach tickets. A huge number of individuals, estimated to be around 135,000, will be lining up to buy the sought-after "Wednesday" tickets, and it's a smart decision. With these tickets, you will be able to secure a fantastic spot for your tent, witness an awe-inspiring display of fireworks in the night sky, and be part of a Glastonbury tradition of appreciating the sunset on the inaugural day of the festival.

However, if you opt to purchase Thursday tickets and take the risk, your odds of making it to the event are significantly higher. This approach was successful for me last year and I was able to bypass the lengthy queue altogether.
