Time to cancel all your plans and carefully select your top five friends: Glastonbury Day is on the horizon. Glastonbury Day, of course, being the dreaded day of disappointment for most, and joyous celebration for others.
Glastonbury Festival 2025 is set to take place from June 25-29 next year, and it was confirmed on socials this evening (October 10) that tickets will go on sale on Thursday, November 14 for coach and ticket packages, and Sunday, November 17 for standard tickets. That leaves us with just over a month to prepare and when it comes to Glasto: fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Each year I see some seriously elaborate spreadsheets glittered with postcodes and registration numbers, and I’m pretty sure that’s aided peoples’ chances at success*.
The festival is taking a year off in 2026, so competition is likely to be fierce for 2025. I cannot stress this enough: be ready.
How to get tickets for Glastonbury 2025
Only See Tickets are authorised to sell tickets, and all tickets will be personalised to the individual ticket holder. As with every year, it is important that all hopeful attendees (over the age of 13) are registered before tickets go on sale. You can register here, or check if you are already registered here. If you are not pre-registered, you will not be able to purchase tickets in November. Registration does not guarantee you’ll get a ticket, just a place in the race.
Tickets that include coach packages will go on sale at 6pm on Thursday November 14, and general admission tickets will go on sale at 9am on Sunday November 17, 2024. Tickets will only be available from this link.
Everyone is limited to six tickets per transaction, and you’ll need to pay a deposit of £75 per person on the day of purchase (plus a coach fare if you’re choosing a travel package). The remaining balance will be due in the first week of April (April 1 to April 7). In this same week, you will be able to add-on car parking passes and cancellation protection, as well as paying a postage and packing fee of £10.25 per order (not per ticket).
You will need to have everybody’s registration number and registered postcodes ready, and a steady hand – if any details are entered incorrectly, your transaction will fail. The tickets are strictly non-transferable too, so make sure you’re happy with your group of six. You will also need a valid debit (UK only) or credit card (with sufficient funds!). Make sure you have immediate access to all the details of that card (long card number, expiry date, CVC), as well as your bank’s chosen authentication method.
If you’re booking a ticket with coach travel, note that the coach journey is compulsory in order to receive your ticket. So no cheating the system just to get a ticket before everyone else! You’ll need to pick your departure town from a list of options on November 14, and it must be the same for everyone on your booking, so make sure the route is a feasible option for you and your friends.
The best advise Glastonbury give for purchasing tickets is to avoid using more than one device or browser tab, as this can interfere with the process, often causing it to fail.
