Glastonbury 2027 general admission tickets go on sale on Sunday, October 4, at 9am BST. The organiser says coach packages have sold out; that does not mean the separate general sale has already finished.
There is a more immediate limit for newcomers: registration closed at 5pm BST on September 25 and will not reopen until after the October sales. Registering for the first time on Sunday is therefore not a route into this sale.

Coach packages have sold out. This table concerns the separate general-admission sale; registration does not guarantee a ticket.
Registration decides who can try
The festival uses personalised photo tickets to deter resale. Everyone aged 13 or over on June 23, 2027 needs their own valid registration. Having a friend book for a group does not remove that requirement.
Existing registrants should retrieve their registration numbers and postcodes and check the group’s details. Up to six tickets can be booked together, but being registered neither reserves a ticket nor guarantees success.
A £100 deposit is not a £100 festival ticket
The total is £408 per person including the £5 booking fee, plus £11.25 postage per order. A successful October booking requires a £100 deposit per person; the remaining £308 and applicable postage are due in the April balance window.
The balance window runs from 9am BST on April 1 to 11:59pm BST on April 7, 2027. For two general-admission tickets, the ticket total alone is £816 before postage and travel; the initial deposits total £200. This calculation does not include camping upgrades or other extras.
Follow the queue instructions, not refresh folklore
Tickets are sold through glastonbury.seetickets.com. The organiser advises being online at least ten minutes before the sale and warns against refreshing the queue or using multiple devices or tabs. Instructions for the waiting room should not be confused with those for the later booking form.
Preparation means having the right registration details, payment access and official queue instructions. People without registrations should watch for reopening and subsequent official sale announcements rather than assume they can join this Sunday. No additional resale date is established here.
Based on the organiser’s ticket announcement and booking guidance. Times are BST. No purchase-success rate, live queue position or further sale date is claimed.
