Last week, festival bosses announced that those looking for tickets to next year’s event will be placed in online virtual queues - sparking similarity to how tickets for Oasis’ big reunion tour were first made available.

This marks a difference in how tickets have previously been made available where fans were able to refresh a landing page for availability. In addition to these changes, the cost of attending the festival has also been raised for the 2025 event.

Tickets will cost £13.50 more than this year’s event and will be priced at £373.50 each, with an additional booking fee of £5. In the last six years, ticket prices have gone up by £100.

Registration for next year’s festival closed on Monday (November 11) at 5pm, with those successful in gaining a spot in the ballot being given a queue number. Bosses have warned that if you refresh your browser, this will result in sending you to the back to the start of the queue for tickets.

Fans have also been warned against using multiple devices at one time - with one registration number and postal code to be used for a ‘lead booker’ and five others via the SeeTickets website.

How much do Glastonbury tickets cost?

Tickets cost £373.50 + £5 booking fee. A £75 deposit (plus coach fare if booking a ticket + coach travel) is due when booking in November, and the remainder can be paid up until the first week of April 2025.

When do tickets go on sale for Glastonbury 2025?

Tickets are released on two separate occasions.

Tickets go on sale for Glastonbury at 6pm on Thursday 14 November if you are purchasing festival tickets with coach travel.

General admission tickets go on sale at 9am on Sunday 17 November.

How to get tickets for Glastonbury 2025?

To start, you must be registered online for ticket purchasing, which is free to do. Registration closed at 5pm Monday 11 November. If you successfully register, then ticket sale will then take place on the Glastonbury Festival website.

The booking process itself will be the same as in previous years, however the way in which you join the booking process has changed. Rather than refreshing the holding page to attempt to access the booking page, this year, when the ticket sale begins (at 6pm or 9am respectively) everyone who is already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process.

Anyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so it’s important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens. Once you are in the queue, a progress bar will indicate how close you are to reaching the booking page.

Organisers have urged those joining the queue to not refresh this page or use multiple devices or tabs or you may lose your place in the queue.

When you reach the front of the queue, you will be asked to enter the registration number and registered postcode for the lead booker and up to 5 other people for whom you are attempting to book tickets. You will have 10 minutes to complete this page before your session expires, however tickets are not allocated at this point.

If you are booking a Ticket + Coach travel option, you will be asked to choose a departure town (and time for towns with multiple departures). It is only possible to book tickets from one departure town in a single transaction, and travel on the coach you have selected is mandatory in order to receive your Festival ticket, so only book on routes that are feasible for you.

Once all of your information is correct, you can click the confirm button to enter the payment page, where you will need to check the billing address, confirm your payment information, accept the terms and conditions, and complete check out within the allocated time.

Tickets are only allocated once your payment has been processed – so you are encouraged you to enter your payment details swiftly. If the amount of traffic on the website is particularly high, you may see a reduced version of the See Tickets booking site, with a minimal holding page - this does not mean the site has crashed.

Tickets will be sold exclusively at glastonbury.seetickets.com, so do not attempt to book tickets from third parties. Glastonbury organisers have also advised against using numerous devices and having several tabs running simultaneously.
