After a year off, Glastonbury will be back in 2027 – and while there’s still quite some time to go until Worthy Farm opens its gates, the time to try purchasing tickets is almost upon us.

There’s another date for your diary too: the deadline to register is Friday 25 September at 5pm. Anyone who wants to a buy ticket needs to submit their details and a passport photo before this date. You’ll then be given a registration number that you’ll need to input if you’re lucky enough to succeed in the online sale. Tickets will only be available from this link and can be purchased with a UK debit card or Visa or Mastercard credit cards.International tickets can only be bought using a Visa Credit Card or Mastercard Credit Card. Depending on your device settings, you might be offered other payment methods such as Google Pay and Apple Pay, just make sure you’re set up with the relevant service before the resale begins. American Express is not accepted.In order to secure tickets, you’ll need to put down a £100 deposit for every member of your group – so if there are six of you, make sure £600 is avaliable in someone’s bank account.

You need to be on the tickets page on the Glastonbury website at precisely 6pm on Thursday 1 October, or 9am on Sunday 4 October for the general admission sale. So set your alarms!3. Money at the ready. Make sure your correct bank details, including the right billing address, and know the answers to any additional security questions you might be asked by your card issuer (this is likely if you’re buying multiple tickets). If you plan on using a payment device such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, make sure it’s set up on your device before the sale begins. Accept the terms and conditions and make sure you complete the check out within the allocated time slot. Once you reach the payment page you will have five minutes to submit your payment information, so make sure you enter all the information accurately. The time remaining will be shown on the right hand side of your screen.4. It’s not over until the SOLD OUT sign appears on the Glastonbury website. So don’t freak out if you see a message notifying fans that “all available tickets have now been allocated”. That means the orders are being processed, but at least a few people end up running out of time... meaning the tickets are up for grabs again. A word of caution: your registration numbers will be locked for up to five minutes if your details are entered incorrectly, an attempt to book is already held against your registration number, or your five minutes on the booking page ends. If the transaction fails and tickets are still available, your registration number will be released to give you the chance to try again.5. Avoid multiple tabs. As stated on the Glastonbury website, trying to buy tickets on multiple tabs could actually put you at risk of confusing the ticket sales process and result in a failed transaction. “We strongly advise that you use just one browser tab when trying to book tickets, in order to avoid possible problems with your transaction,” Glastonbury says.6. Avoid multiple devices too. While it might seem like a good idea to try on your laptop, phone and a tablet at the same time, doing so could harm your chances as the ticketing system may think you’re a bot – especially if the devices are all hooked up to the same WiFi network. Go for two devices maximum: One on your WiFi, and a phone on 5G. And remember, if you’re not successful, there will be another chance to try when the resale takes place in April 2027.You can find more information about the Glastonbury ticket sale here.
