by In just two months, Worthy Farm will be transformed into a festival venue with the return of Glastonbury this summer.
While the majority of tickets sold out in November, music fans had another chance to secure a spot at this year’s event with a “very limited number” of tickets on sale this week.
The first batch of resale tickets, which included the coach journey, sold out on Thursday (April 20). The second and final tranche of resale tickets, excluding journeys, were available for purchase at 9am today (Sunday 23rd April).
However, it took less than six minutes for all tickets to sell out, leaving many disappointed music fans voicing their grievances with the ticketing system on social media.
Now in its 51st year, Glastonbury 2023 will take place in Somerset between Wednesday and Sunday, 21-25 June.
Arctic Monkeys, Elton John and Guns N’ Roses are among the artists confirmed by co-organiser Emily Eavis, who also addressed the controversy surrounding male headliners.

Today is your last chance to secure your place at Glastonbury 2023 with the last batch of tickets on sale at 9am.
What time does the resale start?
08:26 , Annabel Nugent
Last chance to secure Glastonbury tickets starts at 9am. All tickets can be purchased here when they go on sale in 34 minutes…
What tickets are available to purchase today and for how much?
08:31 , Annabel Nugent
Today’s resale will be General Admission Tickets – without travel included.
Tickets cost £335 + £5 booking fee per person.
Note: Unlike the original sale, attendees must pay the full ticket price when asked, not just a deposit. Those who are successful in reselling the ticket will not be required to pay at the time of booking request. A booking request confirmation email will be sent within 3 hours with information on how to complete the payment and finalize the booking. This will not be the deposit as in previous sales, but the full amount.
Can I buy a ticket during today’s resale?
08:40 , Annabel Nugent
Anyone hoping to snag a ticket during today’s final resale will already need to register by April 17 to get their registration number.
Those who are already registered, whether from the November sale or from previous years, can use their existing registration numbers.
Unfortunately, if you don’t already have a registration number, you cannot purchase tickets during this morning’s resale.
Good luck!

With demand expected to be very high, you’ll probably need it to score a ticket!

Some of us are preparing for the worst…
This is the second (and last) resale…
08:49 , Annabel Nugent
The Glastonbury resale takes place in two rounds. The first batch of resale tickets went on sale on Thursday (April 20).
These were tickets from people who outsold their original sale, but didn’t pay the balance on their tickets in early April.
Today’s resale will be for remaining tickets (without travel).
10 minutes…

Stuck on a waiting page…
09:30 , Annabel Nugent
The announcement that tickets were sold out was apparently only shared on Twitter (at least initially), which left many hopefuls stuck on a wait page with no chance.
We’d love to hear from you…

Good luck next time!
