Glastonbury 2025 is officially sold out after a frantic 36-minute sale and if you’ve already got FOMO after missing out on tickets this year, last year, or maybe even every year, then listen up. Hope is not entirely lost as there are a variety of ways you can still bag a place at the festival from resale tickets to volunteering for the likes of Oxfam. That’s right, you could even get in for free (ahem, legitimately) if you’re willing to work for it, saving you over £370.
This year’s event, which boasted a stellar line-up including Shania Twain , Coldplay , Cyndi Lauper , SZA , Avril Lavigne , Janelle Monáe and many more – saw over 2.5million of us try and get tickets. After the shake-up to the queuing system, a reported glitch meant fans were left staring at two loading bars rather than celebrating a ticket win.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. It turns out there are some not-so-secret ways you can attend the festival and soak up all that musical goodness. How to buy tickets in the Glastonbury resale If you missed out on tickets in the short and bittersweet rush of general sale, there is always the resale to pin your hopes on.
The lucky few who secured tickets will have paid a £75 deposit — assuming they didn’t pay the whole lot in one go. They now have until a few months before the festival starts (on June 25, 2025) to pay off the remaining balance. If any ticketholders are not able to pay this off, the ticket is released and put into the resale pot.
That.
