Any tickets that had become unwanted by buyers in the original sale or any balances that had not been paid became available again at 6pm today, but they sold out in around half an hour.

Glastonbury has introduced a new queuing system for tickets, meaning that rather than needing to keep refreshing to access the booking page, everyone on the page was randomly assigned a place in a queue once sales began. Your place in the queue is symbolised by the number of green bars that appear on the screen.

Resale for general admission, without the coach option, will continue on Sunday (April 27) at 9am, with accommodation options going live at 11am.

Last year, coach and ticket re-sale options sold out in just 18 minutes, while general admission re-sale sold out in 22 minutes. It followed the news that Glastonbury 2024 had the “highest percentage of ticket balances paid ever” – meaning that “very limited” tickets were available in the re-sale, according to festival boss Emily Eavis.

Fans have been reacting to being back in the dreaded queue for the 2025 resale, with some complaining and saying they want the old ticket-buying system back, where hopefuls would have to refresh the page regularly to be in with the chance of getting some. “Go back to manual refresh please,” one X user wrote. “At least I can feel I’m actively improving my woeful chances.”

Others have been making light of being stuck with two bars in the queue, with others were nearing the front of the queue only to be hit with the dreaded ‘sold out’ notice. Check out some of the reactions below.

The initial main batch of coach and ticket packages for Glastonbury 2025 sold out in just 32 minutes when they went on sale on Thursday, November 14. Standard tickets then went on sale on Sunday November 17 before being snapped in just 35 minutes.

How much do tickets to Glastonbury 2025 cost?

General admission tickets are £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee, which is an increase of £18.50 from 2024. Additional fare will be added on for the coach fare depending on the destination if you purchase a coach ticket. Resale Glastonbury tickets must be paid for in full, with no deposit scheme available.

When will Glastonbury 2025 take place?

Keeping with Glasto tradition, the 2025 festival will take place on the final weekend of June, running from Wednesday June 25 to Sunday June 29 at at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.

Emily Eavis recently confirmed a fallow year for the event at Worthy Farm set to take place in 2026 to “give the land a rest”. That means, there will be a one-year break before Glastonbury returns in 2027.

Who will be performing at Glastonbury 2025?

In January, it was revealed that Neil Young would be headlining the Pyramid Stage this summer as part of his ‘Love Earth’ world tour with the Chrome Hearts.  He had initially pulled out of Glasto ’25 due to it being “a corporate turn-off”, owing to the festival’s partnership with the BBC. Young later backtracked, however, citing “an error in the information received”. It’ll mark his second time topping the bill at the farm, following his debut appearance in 2009.

The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo will also be headlining this year – gracing the Pyramid on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Closing the Other Stage will be Loyle Carner (Friday), Charli XCX (Saturday) and The Prodigy (Sunday).  Rod Stewart will be taking on the coveted Legend Slot on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon.

Other big names across the weekend include Biffy Clyro, The Maccabees, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, RAYE, Wolf Alice, The Prodigy, Doechii, St. Vincent, Deftones, Scissor Sisters, The Libertines and Wet Leg.

2024’s festival saw Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA headlining, with other memorable sets from the likes of Shania Twain, Little Simz, Fontaines D.C. and IDLES.
