Glastonbury 2027 sells out in 42 minutes at record price

Glastonbury Festival 2027 tickets sold out in 42 minutes, with prices reaching a record £408 per weekend ticket.

Thousands of people queued online at 9am BST to buy tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2027, held at Worthy Farm in Somerset from 23 to 27 June. All weekend tickets disappeared in 42 minutes at £408 each (including a £5 booking fee), marking the highest price the festival has ever charged.

The £408 price marks a £29.50 jump from the last festival in 2025. Organisers said the event is "coming together really well", though headliners remain unannounced.

The festival returns after a fallow year, with Emily Eavis leading the organising team.
