Glastonbury Festival 2013 tickets on-sale date confirmed

The tickets-on-sale date for next year's Glastonbury Festival has been confirmed, on the day the Festival would have opened this year if there'd been a festival this year.

As widely expected, the tickets will go on sale on Sunday 7th October 2012 at 9am.

As in previous recent years, anyone wanting to attend the festival will need to register in advance in order to be able to obtain their ticket.

Glastonbury Festival operates a registration scheme, which successfully combats ticket-touting. All ticket holders (not just the person who purchases the tickets for a group) MUST register in advance so that their ticket can have their photo printed onto the ticket.

Registration - which does not guarantee the registrant a ticket - is open at www.glastonburyregistration.co.uk to fill in your details and upload your passport-style photo (it only takes a few minutes). Remember, every person who would like a ticket will need to register individually.

If you have registered to buy tickets to the Festival before, you may well still be registered (you now only need to do it once), but it's advisable that you check your registration now by clicking here. If you can't find it, the best bet is to re-register - much better to get it all sorted not now than to discover your registration has expired on the day of the ticket sale.

You can also now edit the details of your existing registration (for example if you need to change your address) by clicking here.

Everyone who plans to the come the Festival must register, and that includes children aged 13, 14 and 15. Each ticket sold will feature a photograph of the person in whose name it is registered and will be non-transferable. So if you plan to buy tickets for friends or family you must make sure they all register

Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket, but if you don't register you will not be able to buy a ticket for Glastonbury Festival 2013. If you opt to save this information you will be able to use your registration number again in future years. Make sure the e-mail address you provide is one to which you will have long term access.

Online registration for 2013 can be carried out by clicking here.

Glastonbury Festival is taking a year out this year, and would have been happening this week - in dreadful weather. The festival will return next year from Wednesday 26th until Sunday 30th June 2013. There are no acts confirmed yet for 2013.
