THE UK’s most expensive festival will go ahead next year and is expected to sell out yet again.
Tickets for next year’s event are set to go on sale in October, with registration ending in just two weeks’ time.
Glastonbury Festival has announced that tickets will soon go on sale for next year’s event, but festival-goers will need to register prior to purchasing them.
After taking a fallow year this summer, weekend tickets – which are now priced at a staggering £408 – are expected to go on sale in October.
And despite the almost unbelievable costs, tickets are still expected to sell out within the hour, as thousands of fans join online queues to chance to secure their place.
The concert giant announced tickets with coach travel would go on sale at 6pm on Thursday, October 1.

While general admission tickets are set to go on sale a few days later, at 9am on Sunday, October 4.
In recent years, the festival has also introduced an automatic queuing system on the day of sale, with fans needing to be online before the sale with a valid registration number.
Concert-goers are able to register in advance via the Glastonbury website, which requires an email address and an identifying image.
However, registration closes at 5pm on September 25, after which there will be no opportunity to edit, submit or re-submit a registration until after the October ticket sales.

Featuring more than 100 stages, the five-day event has the capacity to host nearly 210,000 attendees, located in the centre of 1,500 acres of Somerset farmland.
Glastonbury has already been awarded the title of the UK’s most expensive music festival for some time now, but the 2027 season will be the first time tickets have surpassed the £400 barrier.
And Glastonbury is not the only festival to increase costs, with ticket inflation impacted other major UK festivals.
For this summer’s Leeds and Reading Festival, weekend passes were priced at £325, while Parklife’s two-day June event cost around £139.50.
Speaking in 2023, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said it was a “challenging time” for festival organisers, as a result of “enormous” operational costs.
