This weekend tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival 2016 will go on sale at 9am on Sunday, 4th October 2015, priced at £228 (£5 booking fee per ticket + postage and packing per booking).

Before the main ticket sale 15,000 early bird coach and ticket packages will go on sale from 7pm, today Thursday, 1st October.

As with the general release of tickets, Festival goers will be able to book up to six coach + ticket packages per transaction. Along with their deposit of £50 per person, those booking coach packages will be required to pay the full coach ticket price for their journey.

For coach packages only the coach tickets are sent in advance – the Festival entry tickets are handed out on the coach. Travel on the coach is mandatory. Please do not book a coach package unless you are certain you will be able to travel on the coach you have selected.

A list of pick-up locations and prices is available (here) with the FAQ.

Tickets will be available on glastonbury.seetickets.com, and only online, and will not be available to book by telephone.

It is recommended that ticket buyers are prepared to buy tickets as soon as they go on sale, and should anticipate that they could be waiting for some time to connect.

Anyone aged 13 or over (when the Festival starts) who wishes to buy a ticket must be registered. All registered festival-goers who want to buy tickets will need the registration number and postcode for each person for whom a ticket is being booked.

Registration is temporarily suspended before and during the main ticket selling period, and will remain closed until after this Sunday's main ticket sale.

Both kinds of tickets can be booked in groups of six at a time. There will then be no further UK or International payments taken until the booking site re-opens on the first week of April 2016 when deposit purchasers will have one week to pay the balance of £178 per ticket, and to book everything else they might need (tipis, campervan tickets, parking, insurance).

Tickets for Worthy View, the pre-erected camp site offering a range of British-made traditional scout tents, bell tents, tipi tents and small yurts are likely to go on sale a couple of weeks after the ticket sales. For the first time this year you will also be able to book campervan tickets and tipis in this sale.

Children aged 12 and under do not require tickets.

Glastonbury Festival will take place on 2,000 acres around a farm in Pilton, Somerset over five full days from Wednesday 23rd until Sunday 27th June 2016. As ever, entry includes a free programme. Once again, the Festival will be raising more than £2 million in funds for Oxfam, Wateraid, Greenpeace and a host of local charities and causes.

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2016. Expect something like 2,000 performances at over 100 venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic Kidz area, poetry, green crafts and information, site art, decor, and loads, loads more ... much more than just the music, so make sure you check it all out!
