Glastonbury 2024 coach tickets sold out in 25 minutes as general sale set for Sunday

The Glastonbury Festival 2024 ticket sale sold out in 25 minutes today (16 November), after being delayed by two weeks due to an issue with registration.

A statement was posted to the Glastonbury website just hours before coach tickets were due to go on sale on Thursday 2 November, announcing that the sale date had been pushed back.

Tickets plus coach travel went on sale at 6pm GMT on Thursday 16 November, while general admission tickets will go on sale at 9am GMT on Sunday 19 November. Organisers have urged anyone hoping to buy a ticket to check their existing registration immediately or submit a new registration.

The sale comes as rumours swirl around potential headliners for next year’s festival at Worthy Farm. Following criticism over 2023’s all-male headliners, co-organiser Emily Eavis has hinted that two female acts could top the Pyramid Stage next year, with another booked for the Legends slot.

Top tips for getting tickets to Glastonbury Festival 2024

Thursday 16 November 2023 15:29 , Tom Murray

After the hiccup with registration earlier this month, things should hopefully run more smoothly as tickets go on general sale on Sunday (19 November).

Here’s our music correspondent Roisin O’Connor’s top tips to help ensure you get those Glastonbury 2024 tickets:

• A good internet connection. The last thing you need is your broadband failing at the precise moment the transaction is going through.

• The time. You need to be on the tickets page on the Glastonbury website at precisely 6pm on 16 November, or 9am on 19 November for general sale. So set your alarms!

• Money at the ready. Make sure your correct bank details, including the right billing address, and know the answers to any additional security questions you might be asked by your card issuer (this is likely if you’re buying multiple tickets). Accept the terms and conditions and make sure you complete the check out within the allocated time slot.

• It’s not over until the SOLD OUT sign appears on the Glastonbury website. So don’t freak out if you see a message notifying fans that “all available tickets have now been allocated”. That means the orders are being processed, but at least a few people end up running out of time... meaning the tickets are up for grabs again.

• Avoid multiple tabs. As stated on the Glastonbury website, trying to buy tickets on multiple tabs could actually put you at risk of confusing the ticket sales process and result in a failed transaction. “We strongly advise that you use just one browser tab when trying to book tickets, in order to avoid possible problems with your transaction,” Glastonbury says.

The full festival lineup typically isn’t unveiled until May – just one month before it takes place at Worthy Farm, Somerset – but that won’t stop music fans from speculating over who could top the Pyramid Stage.

In a recent episode of Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw’s podcast Sidetracked, Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis revealed she was recently offered a “really big American artist” she hopes will headline next year.

Eavis has hinted that next year’s festival could be headlined by two women, with another in the Legend Slot, following fierce criticism at 2023’s all-male headliners.

As the ticket sale countdown begins, let’s run through some of the line up rumours.

Taylor Swift ruled out of headlining Glastonbury 2024

Thursday 16 November 2023 16:00 , Inga Parkel

Despite eager Swift fans hoping that she will one-day headline Glastonbury, it appears they’ll have to continue waiting.

Following the conclusion of this year’s Worthy Farm festival, fans immediately began speculating over which artists would fill next year’s headline slots.

Among those rumoured were Swift, Rihanna, The 1975, Spice Girls and Madonna.

However, in July, the “Anti-Hero” singer appeared to rule herself out of the Pyramid Stage potentials.

In an announcement made across her social media platforms, Swift revealed that “we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour”.

One of the dates includes a third new consecutive Dublin show on Sunday 30 July 2024. Originally, Swift was only scheduled to perform two Dublin shows on 28 and 29 June 2024, leaving room for a possible Glastonbury getaway on Sunday – the 2024 festival will take place from 26 to 30 June.

Glastonbury organiser responds to 2024 headliner ‘leak’

Thursday 16 November 2023 17:00 , Inga Parkel

Days after ticket sales for next year’s edition of the Worthy Farm festival were pushed back by two weeks, a leak claimed to know who the three main performers on the festival’s famous Pyramid Stage would be.

On Saturday (4 November), MailOnline ran a report claiming that the three headliners had been confirmed as Madonna, Dua Lipa and Coldplay.

This lineup would have matched with Eavis’s hint that two female artists will headline next year, after Glastonbury was criticised for the all-male artists topping the bill on the Pyramid Stage this year.

While Arctic Monkeys and Elton John were originally signed up to perform, it was widely rumoured that Guns N’ Roses replaced US pop star Taylor Swift, who apparently pulled out due to commitments for her Eras tour.

Despite strong rumours that Madonna will headline next year, Eavis debunked the entire report as “untrue”, writing on Twitter the following day: “As always, there is much speculation and excitement about who is playing next year at Glastonbury.

Emily Eavis drops headliner hints

Thursday 16 November 2023 17:26 , Tom Murray

Last month, Glasto organiser Emily Eavis dropped some major hints about the 2024 headliners, revealing that the legend slot will be a female act.

“2024 is still a little up in the air,” she told Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw on the 26 October episode of their podcast, Sidetracked with Annie and Nick.

“And I thought it was kind of taking shape and then last week I just got a call, and this is what happens if you wait a little longer, because quite often we’ll be booked up from July. This year we’re holding out for a little bit longer and last week I got a call from a really big American artist saying this person’s around next year, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is incredible.’ Thank God we held the slot.”

She continued: “It is difficult with female artists because there aren’t enough headliners. But we’re also creating them. We’re putting the bands and female artists on smaller stages and bringing them through all the time so I feel like the pool is going to be bigger soon. And who knows next year we might get two… And certainly I can say that the legend is female.”
