It started when coach and ticket packages sold out in 25 minutes, and then the general ticket sale sold out in just under an hour. But don’t worry – all hope is not lost and a re-sale is coming soon.

When will the ticket re-sale for Glastonbury 2024 be?
If you miss out on tickets in the first two sales, there’s still a chance to grab tickets in the re-sale. These are tickets where the original purchasers haven’t paid their balance in full by the cut-off date in early April and will be put back up for sale. Typically, the re-sale will take place a few weeks after the deadline for paying off the ticket balance, so expect it to take place towards the end of April 2024.
Expect there to another hectic rush after re-sale tickets for Glasto 2023 sold out in just six minutes back in April.
When will the line-up for Glastonbury 2024 be announced?
Don’t expect to know the line-up for Glastonbury before you buy your tickets – the full bill isn’t usually revealed until much closer to the event. Typically, festival organisers will reveal one or two big names towards the end of the year, with headliners and the first big line-up announcement taking place in the early spring. The full line-up will then be unveiled around a month before the festival is set to take place. These dates are not set in stone, however, and are liable to change.
