Glastonbury fans fuming as final resale tickets for festival sell out in minutes
Many Glastonbury fans hoping to bag a ticket for the festival this summer have been left empty-handed due to what organisers have called an 'incredible demand' 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.
