Glastonbury 2023 is now behind us – with over 200,000 people heading down to Somerset’s Worthy Farm for the UK’s biggest festival. However, many will already be eager to find out how to get into next year’s event, and it’s not long now until tickets go on sale.
The Somerset-based festival is renowned not just for being one of the biggest festivals in the world but also one of the hardest to get tickets for. Tickets for the 2023 edition sold out within an hour of going on sale last November, while re-sale tickets sold out in just six minutes in April.
The Glastonbury line-up typically won’t be announced before tickets go on sale, but expect a bill fitting for a musical extravaganza. The 2023 line-up was packed with performances from the likes of Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, Lana Del Rey, Phoenix, Queens Of The Stone Age, Kelis, Warpaint, Fatboy Slim, Fred Again.., Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and many more. However, there are already some pretty huge rumours for who’ll be headlining in 2024.
Tickets for Glastonbury 2024 will go on sale in November – here’s all the information you need to help you secure passes for next year’s festival.
When will Glastonbury 2024 take place?
It has now been announced that, keeping with tradition, next year’s festival will be taking place on the final weekend of June from Wednesday June 26 through to Sunday June 30, 2024 at Worthy Farm in Pilton,
How much will tickets for Glastonbury 2024 be?
Standard tickets for Glastonbury 2024 will cost £355 plus a £5 booking fee. As is now tradition, you can pay a £75 deposit per attendee before paying the full balance in the first week of April.

How and when do I to register for tickets to Glastonbury 2024?
Before you can even think about getting in the dreaded online queue for tickets when the on-sale day arrives, you need to register to be able to access tickets. This is a move adopted by Glastonbury to help cut down on touts and means each general admission ticket will come with a photo of the ticket holder printed on it.
You can register on the Glastonbury website here between 12pm GMT on Monday, November 6 and 5pm GMT on Monday, November 13.
Back in August, the festival gave advice for those wishing to get tickets and told fans that any Glastonbury ticket registrations submitted prior to 2020 need to be reviewed and confirmed before the next ticket sale. You can do that here.
When will tickets for Glastonbury 2024 go on sale?
The ticket sales for the 2024 festival were delayed by two weeks on November 2. Coach and ticket packages will now be available at 6pm GMT on Thursday, November 16, with the general sale following at 9am GMT on Sunday, November 19.
They’ll be on sale exclusively via glastonbury.seetickets.com.
In a statement explaining the postponement, organisers said: “Unfortunately, it has come to light that some individuals hoping to buy tickets for 2024 have discovered after Monday’s registration deadline [September 30] that they are no longer registered, despite believing they were.
“Out of fairness to those individuals, we will be re-opening the window for registration at 12 noon on Monday, 6th November. It will remain open until 5pm on Monday, 13th November.”
This year’s Glastonbury ticket sale has been moved back by two weeks. This is to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase one.
The new dates for Glastonbury ticket sale are as follows:

The post concluded: “We apologise for the late change to the ticket sale dates, but we want to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket for next year’s Festival is able to confirm their registration ahead of the sale.”
Additionally, Glastonbury urged fans to check their existing registrations – you can do so here.
If you buy a coach ticket with your festival ticket, you must then travel on that selected coach to receive your festival tickets.
When preparing for the general sale, make sure you have all of your party’s registration numbers and postcodes so you can buy tickets on their behalf. Tickets will only be sold via SeeTickets.
When will the ticket re-sale for Glastonbury 2024 be?
If you miss out on tickets in the first sale, there’s still a chance to grab tickets in the re-sale. These are tickets where the original purchasers haven’t paid their balance in full by the cut-off date in early April and will be put back up for sale. Typically, the re-sale will take place a few weeks after the deadline for paying off the ticket balance, so expect it to take place towards the end of April 2024.
When will the line-up for Glastonbury 2024 be announced?
Don’t expect to know the line-up for Glastonbury before you buy your tickets – the full bill isn’t usually revealed until much closer to the event. Typically, festival organisers will reveal one or two big names towards the end of the year, with headliners and the first big line-up announcement taking place in the early spring. The full line-up will then be unveiled around a month before the festival is set to take place. These dates are not set in stone, however, and are liable to change.

How can I get into Glastonbury 2024 for free?
Didn’t manage to get a ticket or simply can’t afford one? There are alternative ways to get into the festival – as long as you’re prepared to put in a bit of work. Numerous charities have a presence at the festival and require volunteers to help out across the weekend. In return for your ticket, you’ll be asked to complete shifts across the festival – the length and number of these vary, depending on which charity you attend with. Be warned: you may have to pay a deposit for your ticket, which can be the same price as the entry to the festival. For more information, visit Glastonbury’s jobs page.
