Now the ticket balance payment window has closed, the re-sale dates have been confirmed for Glastonbury Festival tickets, the number available will be limited as these are cancelled/refunded tickets, not a second batch.

The ticket re-sales will take place over two separate days, and can only be booked by those who are registered, as part of the Festival's system to beat ticket touting.

Just like the main sale in October, those wanting to travel to the Festival by coach will get the first opportunity to book tickets. The all important resale for Ticket + Coach packages will be from 6pm on Thursday, 14th April.

That will be followed by a resale of General Admission tickets, at 9am on Sunday, 17th April.

General Admission Tickets cost £228 + £5 booking fee (with postage by Royal Mail Special Delivery charged at £7.75 per order).

For general admission it is expected that once again there will be a maximum of 4 tickets per transaction, and for coaches a maximum of 2 tickets per transaction.

Please note that all tickets purchased in the resale must be paid for in full at the point of booking (there is no deposit scheme offered for resale). These tickets can be refunded up until 8th May, and cancellation protection is available at the point of purchase.

Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket in the resale. Registration must be done before 5pm on Wednesday, 13th April 2015.

This year organisers particularly want to highlight the Festival's environmental policies which all ticket purchasers are required to subscribe to. The pledge must be agreed to buy those paying off their balances. It is not possible to attend the Festival without agreeing to Love the Farm, Leave no Trace.

Ticket holders for this summer's Glastonbury Festival are reminded to take part in their future by making sure they apply for an EU Referendum postal or proxy vote. You will find links to the form to postal vote here and proxy voting here. For more information (see the news page here).
