Glastonbury resale: People devastated after tickets sold out in under six minutes

In just two months, Worthy Farm will be transformed into a festival site with the return of Glastonbury this summer.

While the large majority of tickets were sold in November, music fans had another chance to secure their place at this year’s event with a “very limited number” of tickets on sale this week.

The first batch of resale tickets, which included coach travel, were sold on Thursday (20 April). The second and final portion of resale tickets – not including travel – were available for purchase at 9am today (Sunday 23 April).

It took less than six minutes, however, for all of the tickets to be sold, leaving many disappointed music fans airing their grievances with the ticketing system on social media.

Now in its 51st year, Glastonbury 2023 is due to take place in Somerset between Wednesday and Sunday, 21 – 25 June.

Arctic Monkeys, Elton John, and Guns N’ Roses are among the artists to have been confirmed by co-organiser Emily Eavis, who also addressed the controversy surrounding the all-male headliners.
