Glastonbury 2025 tickets go on sale today - and they won't be around for long.
Millions of people register to get their hands on tickets, but with just 200,000 people attending the Worthy Farm festival each year, the vast majority of people end up missing out. However if you don't manage to secure tickets in today's general sale then it isn't necessarily the end of the road.
Tickets for the Somerset festival - which will take place from 25 to 29 June next year - are always in high demand. But especially so this year as a fallow year is expected to take place in 2026, meaning it will not return until 2027.

No headliners have yet been confirmed for 2025, although acts rumoured to be performing so far include Eminem, Harry Styles and Olivia Rodrigo.
Coach packages went on sale on Thursday, and sold out after just over 30 minutes. General admission tickets went on sale from Sunday at 9am, and were likely to go just as quickly.
If you are among the disappointed masses, don’t give up hope just yet, as there are still ways to get into Glastonbury 2025.
ResaleGlastonbury tickets go on sale on two separate occasions. The main sale takes place in November but there is another chance to get tickets in the spring, weeks before the festival starts.
In November, everyone who secures a ticket pays a £75 deposit. The remainder of the balance has to be paid during the first week of April.
Anyone who does not pay their balance loses their ticket and it goes back into the pot. The resale of tickets that were not paid for in full takes place shortly after the balance window closes, usually also in April.
For Glastonbury 2024, the resale of coach packages took place on April 18 and tickets sold out in 18 minutes. The resale of general admission tickets took place on April 21 and took just 22 minutes.
According to the Glastonbury website, there are opportunities to work for different organisations and charities providing services across the festival - and normally people are required to work three eight-hour shifts for their ticket - but that does vary slightly.
In some cases people are required to pay for the ticket in advance and are then reimbursed after completing the required hours.
Oxfam have been working with Glastonbury for more than 25 years and you can register your interest to join their 2,000 strong volunteering team with roles on the gates, campaigning with the public or helping in the Oxfam festival shop. Along with your ticket, you get secure camping, a meal voucher for every shift, hot showers, toilets, tea, coffee and phone charging.
You could also join the Festaff stewarding team at Glastonbury, with three eight-hour shifts per volunteer required to secure your pass for the event. Shifts are 24hrs from Wednesday to Sunday and, according to festival organisers, are ‘on light, enjoyable customer facing tasks where you will be supported by supervisors and our experienced team’.
Meanwhile, tent stewards and campsite wardens are recruited from local carnival clubs, parent teachers associations, sports clubs and voluntary groups.
Glastonbury has warned of bogus volunteering schemes, where individuals or companies have claimed to be recruiting for festival work and asked for a deposit to secure a space. Organisers say, if you are unsure about the legitimacy of a company asking you to pay for a deposit, contact them on [email protected].
Join the medical teamIf you have medical, paramedic or first aid qualifications, you can apply to join Dr Chris Howes’ team of volunteers by completing the application on the website www.festival-medical.com. The website does note that applications to join Festival Medical Services, if accepted, will not necessarily mean you will be selected to work at Glastonbury.
