Glastonbury Festival 2024 ticket sales pushed back by two weeks
Glastonbury Festival has announced that ticket sales for the 2024 extravaganza have been postponed. The legendary Worthy Farm event, which is scheduled to take place from June 26 through to June 30 next year, announced via social media this afternoon (November 2) that hopefuls will have to wait another two weeks to try and get their hands on the elusive tickets, which often sell out within an hour.
The postponement has been brought about to “ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase one”. Originally, the tickets plus coach travel were due to go on sale tonight, and general admission on Sunday (November 5).
Instead, the tickets plus coach travel will go on sale at 6pm GMT on Thursday, November 16. General admission tickets will be up for grabs at 9am GMT on Sunday, November 19.
Announcing the change of dates, Glastonbury added: “Following this year’s Festival, we alerted everyone with a registration which pre-dated 2020 of a scheduled review of the details held by See Tickets in the Glastonbury Festival registration database. This was in order to ensure that the details we hold are current and that we do not store individuals’ information for any longer than is necessary.
“These registrants were asked to take action to confirm their registration if they wished to keep it. As always, registration was then closed on Monday (30th October) ahead of the ticket sale,”
“Unfortunately, it has come to light that some individuals hoping to buy tickets for 2024 have discovered after Monday’s registration deadline that they are no longer registered, despite believing they were,” the festival added.
“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.
“We urge everyone hoping to buy a ticket to Glastonbury 2024 to either check their existing registration here[2] now or submit new registration, which remains free of charge here[3], from 12 noon on Monday. 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.”
