Glastonbury 2010 is a sell out
Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2010 have completely sold out in less than 24 hours. It’s in stark contrast to last year when tickets took weeks sell and the in 2007, tickets were still available right up until the start of the festival. Despite the event being 9 months away music fans were keen to get their hands on their tickets for the 2010 event which marks the festival’s 40th anniversary.
Only those individuals who were pre-registered members were allowed to purchase tickets. The move was introduced a few years ago in order to cut down on counterfeit tickets. After the phone lines opened at 9am yesterday morning the switchboard was inundated with calls. Last year 137,000 fans descended upon Worth Farm in Somerset to catch some of the biggest live acts including Lily Allen, Lady Ga Ga, Dizzee Rascal and Tom Jones.
Tickets prices are up £10 on last year with a pass to the Festival which will run from June 23rd to 27th setting you back £185 plus a £5 booking fee. Rumours are already circulating as to the 2010 line-up and Festival organiser, Michael Eavis, is adding to the hype by announcing: “The expectations are really high. We’re trying to get the best headliners in the world.” There have been whispers that Beyonce, U2, Radiohead and the Rolling Stones could be making an appearance on the Pyramid stage to help celebrate the Festival’s 40th Anniversary. Eavis has also hinted that he’d like to have an act from each year of the Festival’s history.
If you didn’t manage to get your hands on a ticket yesterday you could still get lucky; a small number of tickets will be released “in the coming weeks” mainly cancelled tickets and those where the transaction failed. Again only pre-registered members can apply for these tickets so check out the official website for more details.
