Story summary

The first batch of tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2027 sold out within just 31 minutes after going on sale at 6pm BST on Thursday. Fans were caught off guard by changes to the ticket-buying system, including restrictions that prevented users from logging in on multiple devices and using registration codes to generate multiple queue numbers, which previously helped increase their chances of getting tickets. Coach tickets, which include festival entry and travel, sold out at 6:31pm according to See Tickets. General admission tickets will be available starting Sunday, October 4th, priced at £408 each—a significant rise from the previous year by £29.50. Registration for these tickets closed on September 25th and won’t reopen until after this initial round of ticket sales. The festival is returning after a hiatus in 2026, with fans speculating about potential headliners, including rumors that Oasis might be among them despite having concerts scheduled around the same time as Glastonbury.

Cllr Rawlings also claimed that support for The Green Party policy essentially amounted to telling Jewish people to “disown their communities to participate in British politics”. Before the final vote, Barnet’s sole Green councillor Charli Thompson said there was “highly inaccurate” information in Cllr Rawlings’ claims, adding: “I would argue that we need to be voting on motions with accurate information in them – not falsehoods”.
