Are you eagerly awaiting the next Glastonbury Festival in 2025? Well, the dates for ticket sales have finally been revealed along with the pricing details. Let’s delve into the specifics below.
Ticket Sales and Pricing
On October 10, Glastonbury announced that tickets bundled with a coach travel package will be available for purchase on Thursday, November 14. General admission tickets, on the other hand, will go on sale three days later on Sunday, November 17.
Last year, tickets for the 2024 Glastonbury Festival were in high demand, with coach tickets selling out in under 30 minutes and general admission tickets gone within an hour. This led to a record number of ticket balances being paid, resulting in fewer tickets available for the following resale in April.
According to the official Glastonbury website, the standard ticket price for 2025 has increased by £13.50, now costing £373.50 along with a £5 booking fee, up from £360 in the previous year.
Ticket Purchase Details
Interested buyers can purchase up to six tickets at once and are required to pay a £75 deposit. Additional costs for coach travel tickets will vary based on coach prices. The remaining balance for the tickets will be deducted in the first week of April 2025.
Over the years, the price of Glastonbury tickets has seen a steady increase, with a £13.50 annual growth, resulting in a total of £108.50 increment in the past six years. In 2019, tickets were priced at £265 plus a £5 booking fee.
Reasons for Price Hike
Emily Eavis, the festival organiser, defended the price hike, attributing it to the challenging post-pandemic times and the high operational costs of hosting the festival. She mentioned that despite efforts to minimize the increase, the rising operational expenses and financial impacts from the past two years without a festival due to COVID necessitated the rise in ticket prices.
Festival Future
The upcoming Glastonbury Festival is scheduled to take place from June 25 – 29, 2025. Additionally, Emily Eavis revealed plans for a fallow year in 2026 to allow the land to rest. Talks with various acts for the next year’s event are already in progress, promising an exciting lineup.
