Tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2025 will be available starting on Thursday evening.

The festival is set for 25–29 June 2025 at Worthy Farm in Somerset, with a break planned for 2026.

Coach packages will be offered first at 6pm, followed by general admission tickets on Sunday, 17 November at 9am.

Buses will depart from 28 locations across the UK, including London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Cardiff.

Customers buying coach packages will pay £373.50 for the festival ticket, plus a £5 booking fee, in addition to a return or one-way coach fare, which varies from £47 to £160 based on location. The deposit to secure a ticket is set at £75.

The festival website shared: “You may book up to 6 coach tickets per transaction.

“When booking a ticket + coach travel option you will need to pay the deposit plus full coach fare, with the Festival ticket balance due in the first week of April 2025.”

Last week, Glastonbury announced that it has changed the way fans will join its booking process.

Festival-goers previously had to refresh the holding page when tickets went live, but now they will be randomly assigned a place in the queue if they are already waiting on the website.

In a 2025 Ticket Sale FAQ posted to their website on Tuesday, the festival said: “The booking process itself for 2025 will be the same as in previous years, however the way in which you join the booking process is changing.

“Rather than refreshing the holding page to attempt to access the booking page, this year, when the ticket sale begins (at 6pm or 9am respectively) everyone who is already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process.

“Anyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so it’s important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens.

“Once you are in the queue, a progress bar will indicate how close you are to reaching the booking page.”

The festival has warned prospective buyers to not refresh the page or use multiple devices or tabs as “you may lose your place in the queue”.

This change comes after a spotlight was shone on various issues within online ticket selling including the use of dynamic pricing and tickets being resold by touts.

In a bid to prevent touting, Glastonbury customers have to register in advance to buy tickets for the event, which will take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 25 to 29 next year.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis has previously said 2026 will be a fallow year for Glastonbury, to allow the land to rest and recover, but she is already in talks with acts to headline in 2025.

The 2024 festival was the first year the event has featured two female headliners on the Pyramid Stage, Dua Lipa on the Friday and SZA on the Sunday.

On the Saturday Coldplay made history as the first act to headline the festival five times.
