Glastonbury Festival fans will have two final chances to bag tickets to the iconic festival at Worthy Farm as online resale takes place on Thursday evening and Sunday morning
The world’s biggest festival is just weeks away and fans have two final chances to secure tickets.
Glastonbury Festival 2024 resale tickets will be made available to buy this week, with two different types scheduled to go on sale this Thursday (April 18) and Sunday (April 21). The thousands of music lovers who missed out during the November general sale will now be able to try their luck again.
The huge five-day event will see the likes of Shania Twain and Coldplay take to the famous Pyramid Stage in Somerset between June 26 to 30. Demand is expected to be high once more as only a limited number of people will be able to secure the tickets that weren’t fully paid for within the first sale deadline.
When is Glastonbury resale?
The first Glastonbury resale will take place on Thursday, April 18, at 6pm. This is for general admission and coach travel tickets – which gives you transport to and from the event. With these types of tickets, fans have to go by coach for the general admission to be valid. You will be limited to two tickets per transaction.
The second Glastonbury resale will take place on Sunday, April 21, at 9am. This is for general admission tickets, so buyers can decide how they make their own way to the festival. This is likely going to be the most in-demand option. You can purchase up to four tickets per transaction.
Any leftover accommodation options, such as Sticklinch caravans, Glastonbury’s tipi sites and Worthy View camping, will be available to purchase on Sunday, April 21, at 11am. These can only be bought by those who already have a general admission ticket.
How do I buy a Glastonbury ticket?
All three resale options will only be available at glastonbury.seetickets.com. The registration for the event closed on Wednesday, April 17. You cannot buy a ticket if you have not already registered.
Tickets cost £355 plus a £5 booking fee per person. You will have to pay the amount in full at the time of booking. You will need all registration codes, correct bank details and payment addresses at the ready.
UK tickets can be purchased with a UK debit card or Visa or Mastercard credit cards. International tickets can only be bought by Visa Credit Card or Mastercard Credit Card. American Express is not accepted. You may be offered other payment methods such as Google Pay and Apple Pay depending on your device settings.
Best tips and tricks for buying tickets
If you are hoping to get lucky in the Glastonbury resale, you need to take getting tickets very seriously. You should have a group chat with everybody you are trying to get tickets with and create a shared spreadsheet with all your names, postcodes and registration numbers. Triple check these details are correct. If you do get in, copy and paste them to avoid making mistakes.
The same goes for writing in your card details for payment – make sure you type everything in correctly to avoid being kicked out of the system. After you have paid and the booking is complete, check your emails. If you haven’t received an email within three hours, you should contact See Tickets customer service team.
Music site Radio X’s top tip is to do a ‘hard refresh’ on your browser in advance. Their website reads: “Each browser is different. A hard refresh clears cookies, meaning you’re seeing a brand new version of the page, rather than one that’s held in your browser locally”. So double-check how to do that on your device.
It might be a good idea for you to travel to your work office or a building with a strong WiFi connection if your internet isn’t very stable at home. You should not have multiple browser tabs open at once, as it could make your device run slower. Stick to one tab and refresh as much as possible until you get through to the webpage that says you’re in the queue.
Glastonbury explicitly asks people not to use multiple devices simultaneously in one household as it is a “waste of valuable resources and doesn’t reflect the ethos of the Festival”. But previous festival-goers have had luck with using different tablets, phones and computers. Plus, it could be that your tablet works quicker than your old laptop.
