General admission tickets for Glastonbury 2027 sold out in 42 minutes this morning, as fans scrambled for access to the Somerset festival. The event, returning after a 2026 fallow year, saw demand significantly outpace supply, with organizers confirming that any returned or cancelled tickets will be available in a spring 2027 resale.
Tickets Sell Out Amid New Registration System
Following a fallow year in 2026, the demand for Glastonbury Festival 2027 reached a fever pitch this weekend. After the initial coach ticket allocation sold out in less than 30 minutes on Thursday evening, the general admission sale on Sunday morning concluded by 9:42 am. The official announcement from the festival’s ticket partner, See Tickets, confirmed the sold-out status on X shortly thereafter. While this year’s sell-out was rapid, it did not surpass the 2014 record, when 120,000 tickets were secured in just 26 minutes.
Prospective festival-goers were required to register their details before 5 pm on Friday, September 25. A new technical barrier was also introduced: users were prevented from logging in on multiple devices or browsers simultaneously. Each registration code was assigned only one specific place in the digital queue, a change designed to tackle bots.
Fans Express Disappointment over Ticket Price Hikes
Fans expressed a range of reactions to the swift sell-out and the price hike on social media. Some shared their disappointment at missing out, with one user lamenting on X, Another fallow year for me,
while another user wrote, well that was a an hour of my life I will never get back.
Emily Eavis Rules Out Madonna and Oasis
While the ticket sale is complete, the festival’s lineup remains unconfirmed, with an official announcement expected in the coming months. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has officially ruled out both Madonna and Oasis as potential headliners, despite heavy speculation that the queen of pop and the Manchester rock band could be topping the bill. Eavis confirmed to BBC Radio 4’s PM programme in August that all three headliners have been secured, stating, But we have got three headliners and we’re very excited about it – it’s all coming together really well.
Oasis specifically had been the subject of intense fan speculation due to a gap in their 2027 tour schedule. However, when a fan pleaded on Instagram for confirmation, Eavis replied, Sorry Jimmy, not this time!
Liam Gallagher was similarly blunt regarding the rumors, telling fans on social media: It’s not HAPPENING so all you croc wearing flag waving shit c** can calm the f* down.
The 2025 festival featured The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, and Olivia Rodrigo as headliners.
Next Steps for Unsuccessful Applicants
For those who missed out during the general sale, the festival’s official page stated: Thank you to everyone who bought one and we’re sorry to those of you who missed out on a morning where demand greatly exceeded supply. There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2027.
The event is scheduled to take place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, from Wednesday, June 23, to Sunday, June 27, 2027.
