The final batch of Glastonbury 2025 tickets disappeared faster than a cold pint on a festival afternoon, selling out in a mere 20 minutes on April 27. Fans across the UK, hunched over laptops and phones, faced crushing disappointment as the last chance to snag a spot at Worthy Farm slipped through their fingers like mud in a Somerset downpour.
The resale, announced by festival organizers earlier this month, was the final opportunity for hopefuls to secure entry to the iconic event, set for June 25 to 29. With demand sky-high, the online queue system—revamped this year with a controversial “two bar” setup—buckled under the weight of thousands logging on at once. By the time the dust settled, every ticket was gone, and the official Glastonbury website confirmed the sell-out with a brisk statement, thanking buyers and apologizing to those left empty-handed.
This year’s resale followed a chaotic initial sale in November 2024, when tickets and coach packages evaporated in under 35 minutes. The festival, which draws over 200,000 attendees to Pilton each year, has long been a tough ticket, but 2025’s frenzy set a new benchmark for desperation. Organizers had warned that only a limited number of returned tickets would be available, urging fans to register in advance and brace for a digital scrum.
Adding to the sting, a separate resale for ticket holders seeking campervan spots and pre-booked accommodations like Worthy View and Sticklinch kicked off later the same day, April 27, at 11 a.m. Those sold out just as fast, with no word yet on further releases. The festival’s ticketing system, run through See Tickets, required full payment upfront—£373.50 plus a £5 booking fee per ticket—leaving no room for hesitation.
Glastonbury’s resale process, designed to curb touting, mandates that tickets be registered to specific individuals, with refunds offered only for cancellations until early April. Despite these measures, secondary markets have already begun buzzing, though organizers warned that resold tickets outside official channels risk being voided.
The 2025 lineup remains under wraps, with only whispers of potential headliners circulating among fans. Last year’s event featured Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, setting a high bar. For now, those who missed out are left to hope for a miracle—or plan for 2026.
Tickets cost £373.50 plus a £5 fee. The festival runs from June 25 to 29, 2025, at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset. No further ticket sales are confirmed.
