This year’s Glastonbury ticket sale has been moved back by two weeks. This is to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase one.

The new dates for Glastonbury ticket sale are as follows:

Glastonbury have apologised for the late announcement as prospective ticket buyers were given minimal notice about the change in dates. Organisers issued a statement, saying “We apologise for the late change to the ticket sale dates, but we want to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket for next year’s festival is able to confirm their registration ahead of the sale.”

They also shared more behind their reasoning, saying “Unfortunately, it has come to light that some individuals hoping to buy tickets for 2024 have discovered after Monday’s registration deadline that they are no longer registered, despite believing they were.”

They continued, “Out of fairness to those individuals, we will be re-opening the window for registration at 12 noon on Monday, November 6. It will remain open until 5pm on Monday, November 13.” This decision has not been a popular one however, with many people sharing their frustration on social media.

One Twitter user shared her annoyance at cancelling her plans for the now delayed ticket sale, whilst another called it an “absolute joke.”  

Oh no it’s cool it’s not like we all cancelled our plans and have sat with anxiety all day so you can play your silly little fairness game x — Sophie Thompson (@sophxthompson) November 2, 2023

Absolute joke. There was more than enough time to sort this out. Why delay it? You’re just making it harder for people who are organised. How is that fair?
