Tickets are not sold out yet
Keep trying! There has been no word on whether it’s sold out just yet, so keep that Glasto positivity going
Advice from Seetickets - it looks like the last tickets are being snapped up but failed transations might open up more tickets. Keep going.
As of nine minutes ago, more than half of the tickets had sold out – so there can’t be a lot remaining.
A lot of reports of people getting through to the tickets purchase ‘processing’ page – and then being booted out.
Still no new update from Seetickets or the official Glastonbury page.
