Emily Eavis, the festival co-organiser, said that the festival “before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan because you almost have to fit two years into one”. And she pledged that 2025 has “got to be the best one yet”.
Glastonbury, Britain’s biggest music festival, released a statement on Tuesday which said: “The booking process itself for 2025 will be the same as in previous years. However, the way in which you join the booking process is changing.”
They added that instead of “refreshing the holding page to attempt to access the booking page”, users will be randomly assigned a place in the queue.
Organisers also urged users “to make sure you are online and ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens,” so that they do not get added to the back of the queue once it starts.
The cost of attending the festival next summer will be £373.50 on top of a booking fee of £5. Fans can buy a maximum of six tickets for the event and they will have 10 minutes to complete their details once at the front of the line.
Some festival-goers were hopeful about the change, saying that it could “reward people who are organised and prepared”.
