Glastonbury 2023: Five tips to better your chances of securing tickets

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Glastonbury fans are preparing for the second set of tickets for the 2023 festival to go on sale.

The music festival returns to Worthy Farm next summer from Wednesday 21 June to Sunday 25 June.

The first round of tickets, which included coach travel, went at 6pm on Thursday (3 November). They sold out in 22 minutes, with many prospective punters reporting that the website didn’t load for them at all.

The remaining Glastonbury tickets will be released on Sunday 6 November at 9am. You must already have registered for tickets to be able to purchase them.

Only tickets bought via SeeTickets will be valid at the festival.

Glastonbury is known for being one of the toughest festivals to get tickets for, with tickets expected to sell out in less than an hour once again.

However, some people are getting messages saying that all available tickets have been allocated.

Still waiting for an official sold out message, though. We say, keep refreshing!

Glastonbury hopefuls unable to open website as tickets go on sale

Tickets may be on sale, but it appears most people can’t get onto the SeeTickets website at all!

Some people, however, are reporting that they’ve been able to join the queue.

Remember, today you will only be able to buy tickets with coach travel!

Those lucky enough to get through will have to pay £50 of the £335 ticket price plus the cost of their coach ticket.

Each person who gets through can purchase up to six tickets, as long as they have the registration numbers and postcodes to hand. However, all their group must be travelling from the same location.

In 2021, capacity for Glastonbury Festival was 210,000.
