Glastonbury fans fuming as final resale tickets for festival sell out in minutes
Glastonbury fans are furious after failing to bag to any final resale tickets for the festival this summer. The last lot of tickets for the Worthy Farm knees-up were up for grabs online today, however, they sold out within 20 minutes, leaving many potential party people empty-handed.
Breaking the bad news that all the tickets for the festival in the West Country were now sold, the official Glastonbury X account explained: "On a morning of incredible demand, all of the tickets in today's resale have now been sold. Thank you to everyone who bought one, and sorry to those who missed out." However, the apology wasn't enough for some, who branded the ticketing system a joke as they aired their frustration on social media.
One shared: "I do not think #glastonburyfestival cares about their fans anymore given the comments this morning. The festival does not seem to be what it once was."
Another said: "Absolutely gutted, got through to the payment page in around 18 mins and then it said sold out." A third vented: "This is b******s, Glastonbury. Not been able to get tickets for 6 years!" while a fourth fumed: "Please reinstate the old system. This year has been ridiculous. Four tries and didn't get anywhere near close."
Glastonbury announced changes to its booking process last year, with the introduction of an automatic queue system.
The change meant that fans would have to be online before ticket sales begin on 14 and 17 November. Rather than refreshing a holding page, they would be "randomly assigned a place in the queue" once tickets are available. People who joined later were automatically placed at the back of the queue.
By cutting out the need to constantly refresh the website, the load on the ticketing system is supposed to be reduced and may even speed up the process for users.
However, many fans have been left without a ticket and will now have to watch the festival on TV to get a glimpse of their favourite acts.
This year's line-up features a whole host of stars, including The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young, Rod Stewart and Charli XCX.
But for fans unable to bag a ticket, who are still wanting their fix of live music, the Mirror has rounded up a list of other festivals around the country, which offer a good alternative.
Liverpool Sound City in Liverpool from 2-4 May celebrated Liverpool's musical heritage and is perfect for discovering the next big indie and alternative acts. Performances across multiple venues provide an intimate festival experience in this iconic music city. Tickets from £49.50.
Meanwhile, Back To Mine in Bristol from 23-25 May is set in the beautiful surroundings of Chew Valley Lake and promises sets from Gok Wan and Roni Size. You can buy a weekend ticket to the house and dance music festival which stretches across three days for £162 or a day ticket for just £66.45.
Elsewhere, Parklife in Manchester from 14-15 June is one of the UK's biggest urban festivals. It offers a lineup of top-tier acts across genres including hip-hop, pop, and electronic, known for its lively crowds and buzzing energy. Tickets are from £97.70.

Best dressed celebrities revealed including global pop sensations, models and Hollywood actors - but do YOU agree with the results?
The best dressed celebrities have been unveiled thanks to a new study which has revealed who has the most searched for outfits. Sabrina Carpenter, 26, came out on top with the most sought-after wardrobe, after wearing an array of sexy ensembles since dropping her breakthrough album last year. The pop star has around 49,000 people searching to copy her red carpet and stage looks in just one month, making her the 'best dressed' in the eyes of the study. She is thousands of searches ahead of the runner-up Olivia Rodrigo, who has around 34,500 people trying to find out where she gets her ensembles from. Zendaya rarely puts a fashion foot wrong when it comes to her glamorous premiere looks and off-duty style, which has clearly been noted by her fans. The actress was given third place in the study, led by fashion brand Superdry, ahead of fellow fashionistas Kendall Jenner and Rihanna, who placed fourth and fifth respectively. While Sabrina has hit the headlines for her chart-topping hits, her fashion prowess has also caught the attention of fans. Earlier this year she modelled for Versace and before this she worked her model magic in Kim Kardashian's SKIMs campaign. The American star turned heads on the Met Gala red carpet in May earlier this year, rocking a burgundy Louis Vuitton bodysuit and tailored jacket. Sabrina said: 'It mixes Savile Row tailoring with Parisian corsetry. It's important for my glam to look like my own. I want it to meld seamlessly with my outfit without overpowering it. 'I have a signature base and then add different elements to change it up depending on the colour or style of my look.' Other recognisable names who made the top 10 in the study included Hailey Bieber, Sofia Richie and Blake Lively. It was claimed earlier this year that Blake's wardrobe for It Ends With Us ballooned to more than $600,000 (£444,000) after she 'completely revamping the costumes at the start of products to align with her vision of her character, Lily Bloom'. Her co-star who she is locked in a legal battle with, Justin Baldoni's lawsuit documents claim was 'ignoring the director's vision for her character and disposing of the weeks of effort and creativity spent by the wardrobe team'. Rihanna has long been admired for her fashionable looks (Pictured fifth place Rihanna) Court papers claim the costume designer had to 're-shop Lively's wardrobe, far exceeding the allocated budget and diverting time and resources, while also preparing wardrobes for the rest of the cast. She also reportedly wanted to spend $5,000 on shoes to show her character 'had money' - despite being a fledgling small business owner - and her changes meant Justin 'forced to rethink an entire script that had been in the works for years'. Supermodel Gigi Hadid was also given kudos for her fashion credentials and was revealed as the ninth most searched for star. Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney found herself in 10th position despite being embroiled in controversy over an American Eagle ad which has led to US President Donald Trump anointing her his anti-woke queen. The campaign was accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational. Sydney said in the commercial: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour. My jeans are blue.' The newly-registered Republican has yet to publicly address the backlash. Last Friday, American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein issued a statement stressing that the spot 'is and always was about the jeans' and noted that 'great jeans look good on everyone.'
