Glastonbury fans battled to buy tickets for the 2023 festival on Sunday morning (6 November).
The music festival returns to Worthy Farm next summer from Wednesday 21 June to Sunday 25 June.
The first round of tickets, which included coach travel, went on sale at 6pm on Thursday (3 November). They sold out in 22 minutes, with many prospective punters reporting that the website didn’t load for them at all.
The remaining Glastonbury tickets were snapped up by those who had previously registered for tickets.
Only tickets bought via SeeTickets will be valid at the festival.
Glastonbury is known for being one of the toughest festivals to get tickets for, and tickets sold out inless than an hour despite Seetickets reporting a “technical problem”.
Follow along with all the live updates as they happened below.
Best of luck to everybody trying. Be persistent and remain positive!
Aaaaaaaand – just like that, we’re off. Glastonbury 2023 tickets are officially on sale.
It’s important to have just one tab open on each brower – and use your phone as well as your laptop to maximise chance.
Also, make sure you input every single detail correctly. If you don’t, it will slow down the process and potentially harm your chances.
Also, if you’re in a big group, communicate with each other. Should two of you get through without alerting the other, it could counteract the booking and boot you out.
If you see this page, you’re one step closer to success.
An update from Seetickets, who say that booking sare being processed ‘steadily’. They make the whole thing sound relaxing...
A reminder – or an alert – that Nadine Dorries is, er, also trying for tickets this morning.
In what could well be the understatement of the century, Glastonbury’s official Twitter page has informed us: “We are seeing incredible demand.’
