£238 plus booking fee - SOLD OUT

Daily capacity: 203,000

This weekend the bulk of tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival 2017 will go on sale at 9am on Sunday, 9th October 2016, priced at £238 (£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 6pm, today Thursday, 6th October as part of the festivals commitment to green travel.

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. Last year coach tickets all sold in 15 minutes.

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 this 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 2017 when deposit purchasers will have one week to pay the balance of £188 per ticket, and to book everything else they might need (parking priced at £45, and 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. At the same time Campervan tickets for 2017 will also be able to be booked at £100 for a standard pitch (8m x 7m) or £200 for a double pitch (16m x 7m) and will be released, alongside Tipis (priced at £995) for ticket holders.

Children aged 12 and under do not require tickets.

Glastonbury Festival 2017 will take place at a farm in Pilton, Somerset over five full days on the last weekend in June, that's from Wednesday 21st to Sunday 25th June 2017. There are no acts confirmed yet for 2017. Expect something like 3,000 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!
