Glastonbury Sets Record £408 Ticket Price as 2027 Sales Open in October

2 articles · Updated · bbc.co.uk · Sep 8

Summary

  • £408 weekend tickets for Glastonbury 2027 — including a £5 booking fee — will go on sale in October after the festival’s 2026 fallow year, up £29.50 from 2025.
  • 1 October has been set for coach packages and 4 October for general admission, with buyers required to register in advance and join the automatic online queue before sales begin.
  • £408 breaks the £400 barrier for the first time at Glastonbury, already the UK’s priciest major music festival, as organisers face higher energy, infrastructure and post-Brexit labour costs.
  • 23-27 June is the festival’s 2027 slot, but headliners remain unannounced; Emily Eavis has ruled out Madonna while saying three other headline acts are already in place.
