Coach and ticket packages for next year’s Glastonbury Festival sold out in just 22 minutes after going on sale yesterday (Thursday).
The UK’s flagship festival returned this year after COVID-induced cancellations in 2020 and 2021.
Glastonbury will return to Worthy Farm next year from June 21-25 and the usual rush for tickets did not disappoint, with ticket and coach packages selling out in 22 minutes.
General sale tickets are set to go on sale November 6 but festival-lovers will have to fork out £340 ($381/€390), a significant increase on the £270 price tag when tickets last went on sale in 2019.
Customers are expected to put down a £50 deposit before paying off the total in April next year.
Glastonbury organisers wrote on Twitter: “The Glastonbury 2023 coach and ticket packages on sale this evening have now all been sold. Thank you to everyone who bought one.”
