Glastonbury: Spectacular fireworks bring close to Elton John’s final UK performance
The Glastonbury Festival 2024 ticket sale has been pushed back by two weeks, organisers have said, after a problem with registration came to light.
A statement was posted to the Glastonbury website just hours before coach tickets were due to go on sale at 6pm today (Thursday 2 November).
“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 statement said.
“Out of fairness to those individuals, we will be re-opening the window for registration at 12 noon on Monday 6 November. It will remain open until 5pm on Monday 13 November.”
Tickets plus coach travel will now go on sale at 6pm GMT on Thursday 16 November, while general admission tickets will go on sale at 9am GMT on Sunday 19 November. Organisers have urged anyone hoping to buy a ticket to check their existing registration immediately or submit a new registration.
“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,” a spokesperson said.
BREAKING NEWS: Glastonbury ticket sale pushed back by two weeks
NEWS JUST IN! A note from Glastonbury organisers:
Glastonbury to move 2024 ticket sale back by two weeks
This year’s Glastonbury ticket sale has been moved back by two weeks. This is to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase one. The new dates for Glastonbury ticket sale are as follows:
TICKETS PLUS COACH TRAVEL ON SALE AT 6PM GMT, THURSDAY, 16TH NOVEMBER
GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS ON SALE AT 9AM GMT, SUNDAY, 19TH NOVEMBER
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.
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 https://glas.to/lookup now or submit new registration, which remains free of charge, at https://glastonburyregistration.co.uk/, 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.

From Madonna to Taylor Swift, who’s rumoured to headline Glastonbury 2024?
The full festival lineup typically isn’t unveiled until May – just one month before it takes place at Worthy Farm, Somerset – but that won’t stop music fans from speculating over who could top the Pyramid Stage.
Eavis has hinted that next year’s festival could be headlined by two women, with another in the Legend Slot, following fierce criticism at 2023’s all-male headliners.

REGISTER!
The reason for Glastonbury’s ticket sale delays is due to the fact 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”, organisers announced.
So, in an effort to avoid falling into the expired registration camp when ticket sales eventually come around in two weeks, make sure you’re registered by 5pm on Monday 13 November!
Registration will re-open at 12 noon on Monday 6 November.

Someone is calling for fans to empathise with Glastonbury’s delay, saying that the festival organisers are “probably more mad than we are”.
“Another shortcoming of @seetickets – there’s something every year,” they added.

One fan hit out at Glastonbury’s justification for the delay, calling it “pathetic”.
“This is pathetic. You’ve never cared about it being ‘fair’, otherwise you wouldn’t have a system where people with the fastest broadband always get tickets, and those that can’t afford it miss out year in year our. Make it a ballot system and then it’s a level playing field,” they tweeted.

One fan called the delay an “absolute joke”. “There was more than enough time to sort this out. Why delay it? You’re just making it harder for people who are organised. How is that fair?” they wrote on X/Twitter.
