The first round of tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2025 have now sold out, with disappointed hopefuls hitting out at the “horrendous” new system for queuing. Thousands of punters missed out after the sought-after ticket packages, including coach travel, for next year’s event at Worthy Farm sold out in 30 minutes on Thursday evening. The unlucky fans who did not bag a ticket took to social media to slam the new system, which was introduced for the first time this year and had already sparked concerns ahead of the sale at 6pm.
One addressed the festival’s organiser as they posted on social media: “@emilyeavis why oh why have have you input this system. Worse than before. Punters hate it being out of their control.
It’s horrendous.” Fans were “randomly assigned a place in a queue”, according to the Glastonbury website, rather than having to refresh the holding page when the tickets went live. No headliners have been announced for next year’s festival – but demand was expected to be higher than ever as Glastonbury, which is set for between Wednesday 25 June to Sunday 29 June, will be taking a year off in 2026.
