First tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2024 to go on sale
The coach tickets go live at 6pm tonight - ahead of a general sale on Sunday morning
Last updated 2nd Nov 2023
The first set of tickets to the iconic Glastonbury Festival go on sale later today - with around 135,000 spots up for grabs.
Millions of people are in the running for this batch, which are only available online - and can only be snapped-up by those who have registered to apply.
It's an annual scramble as the clock strikes 6pm GMT - and if past years are anything to go by, they'll be snapped-up within minutes.
According to the social media account 'The Glasto thingy', the coach sales have all gone within half an hour.
On X - formally known as Twitter - they have broken down the stats from every year since coach tickets were introduced, and found it took:
- 28 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2014 festival
- 15 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2015 festival
- 23 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2016 festival
- 22 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2017 festival
- 29 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2019 festival
- 27 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2020 festival
- 23 minutes to sell out coach tickets for the 2023 festival
We don't yet know who's on the line-up for the 2024 edition at Worthy Farm - however, co-organiser Emily Eavis did drop a hint last week, saying she hopes a 'really big' female artist from America could be headlining the legends slot.
Those on the bill aren't expected to be announced until the New Year.
In 2023, to mark the 75th anniversary of the NHS, a poem was performed on the Pyramid Stage, made to represent all 1.26 million NHS staff in England who've spent at least some of their working lives with the institution.

If you were hoping to grab a ticket - but didn't register to be able to apply for the latest batch of tickets, don't fret, as there'll be more chances in the months leading-up to the event.
If you get yourself registered before next April, you'll be able to get yourself in with a chance when the resale tickets go live.
