The Glastonbury 2027 resale
Glastonbury 2027 sold out in October 2026. The Ticket + Coach packages went in under 30 minutes on Thursday 1 October, and general admission in about 42 minutes on Sunday 4 October.
Tickets that are cancelled or returned, including bookings that miss the balance deadline, go back on sale in a resale in spring 2027. The festival hasn't announced the date yet. In recent years the resale has run in April, after the balance deadline, with a Ticket + Coach resale and a General Admission resale a few days apart.
The resale works like the main sale: a queue with random places, a 10-minute booking page where you enter everyone's registration number and registered postcode, then checkout. In previous resales tickets were paid for in full when booking rather than with a deposit, so have the full price ready for everyone you're booking. Check the festival's resale announcement for the 2027 details, and sign up below to hear when the date is confirmed.
Already have tickets? Pay the balance
The £308 balance per ticket, plus £11.25 postage per booking (£3 for Ticket + Coach), is due between 9am Thursday 1 April to 11.59pm Wednesday 7 April 2027. Bookings that aren't paid in full by the deadline are cancelled and the tickets go into the resale. Car park passes and TicketPlan refund protection are offered when you pay the balance.
How to get Glastonbury tickets in 2027
Glastonbury tickets sell out within minutes, and there's no trick for getting to the front of the queue. What you can control is being ready: having everyone registered, having every registration number and postcode to hand, and knowing exactly what to do when you get through.
1. Make sure everyone is registered
Everyone aged 13 or over needs a Glastonbury registration: a photo and personal details, with a unique registration number. Registration for the October 2026 sales closed at 5pm on Friday 25 September 2026. Check glastonburyfestivals.co.uk to see whether it reopens before the resale. If someone in your group isn't registered, they can't be booked. Tickets are non-transferable and carry the holder's photo.
2. Collect every registration number and postcode
You'll need each person's registration number and the exact postcode they registered with, which may not be where they live now. Put them all in one list, checked character by character, that you can copy from on the day. The most common failure is simply one wrong digit or an old postcode.
3. Decide who is booking for whom
Each booking can cover up to six people. If several people from your group are in the queue, agree beforehand who books which six. If someone gets through and books your friends, tell the others straight away. A registration number that's already held in another booking attempt can't be booked again, and can be locked for up to 10 minutes.
4. Understand the queue
Go to glastonbury.seetickets.com at least 10 minutes before the sale starts. New for 2027: before the waiting room you solve a puzzle check and enter your own registration number. Have it ready to paste. Your queue place is linked to that registration, so use one device per registration: extra devices with the same number don't get extra places. When it opens, everyone already on the page is randomly given a place in the queue. Arriving earlier than that makes no difference, and anyone arriving after the start joins the back. A progress bar shows how close you are to the booking page. Sometimes it drops back a block, as many people saw in the coach sale: stay put. Don't refresh, and stick to one tab and one device per IP address: the official advice is that you may lose your place and may be denied access if the system suspects automated software.
5. Get past the bot protection
For 2027 the festival has tightened its bot protection. Before the sale: turn off any VPN or proxy, disable or remove ad blockers and privacy plugins, clear your cookies, and update your browser and device. Don't share your registration details, cookies or Queue ID with anyone.
6. What happens after you get through the Glastonbury ticket queue?
- Booking page. Enter the registration number and registered postcode for the lead booker and up to five others. You have 10 minutes before your session expires.
- Check your ticket holders. The people you entered are shown back to you with their registration photos. Check them carefully: they can't be changed once you continue.
- Coach (Ticket + Coach sale only). Choose one departure town, a Wednesday or Thursday departure, and a time if there's more than one. The whole booking travels together.
- Payment. Check or amend your billing address, enter your card details, accept the terms and conditions and pay within the time allowed. Don't minimise the tab or open new tabs: your session may expire. Your bank may ask you to approve the payment.
- Allocation. Tickets are only allocated once payment has been processed. If you see "All available tickets have now been allocated", refresh: orders that can't be processed are released back to sale.
7. Have payment ready
At the General Admission sale you pay a £100 deposit per person, so £600 for a group of six. The remaining £308 per ticket, plus £11.25 postage per order, is due between 9am Thursday 1 April to 11.59pm Wednesday 7 April 2027. For Ticket + Coach you also pay the full coach fare for everyone when you book (coach postage is £3 per order). In the resale, expect to pay in full (see above). Use a card with enough available balance, have your banking app ready for security checks, and know your billing address.
8. Avoid mistakes under pressure
- Entering a postcode that's where someone lives now, not the one they registered with.
- Swapping two people's postcodes or registration numbers.
- Entering the same person twice, or a friend who is already being booked by someone else.
- Missing which row has the error and resubmitting everything unchanged.
- Leaving the page or refreshing it at the wrong moment, or switching tabs during payment.
- Getting flagged as a bot because a VPN or ad blocker was left on.
- Running out of time on the payment page because a banking app wasn't ready.
9. Practise the process
Most of these mistakes come from doing something unfamiliar in a hurry. Running through the sequence a few times beforehand (queue, booking page, check, pay) makes the real 10 minutes feel much calmer. That's what TicketDay is for.
Practise the process before the real sale
Ticket + Coach: what's different
In the October sale, Ticket + Coach packages went on sale first, at 6pm BST on Thursday 1 October 2026, and in past resales the coach resale has also come first. You'll choose one departure town and one travel day (Wednesday or Thursday) for the whole group. You can't mix options within one booking, and everyone in the booking, including children and Essential Companions, needs a coach ticket. The coach fare is paid in full at booking, as well as the £100 per person ticket deposit. Coach ticket holders can't swap to general admission and must travel on their booked coach. TicketDay's coach practice uses sample towns, fares and availability, not live data.
What TicketDay can and can't do
- It can make the real sequence of screens, the details you need and the time pressure feel familiar.
- It cannot change your queue position, reserve tickets, or guarantee you anything. Queue places in the real sale are random.
- It never connects to the real ticketing system. Use the fictional practice details we give you. Never enter your real registration details or real card details.

Glastonbury 2027 tickets: frequently asked questions
When is the Glastonbury 2027 resale?
There will be a resale of cancelled and returned tickets in spring 2027. The festival has not announced the date yet. In recent years it has run in April, after the balance deadline.
Did Glastonbury 2027 sell out?
Yes. Ticket + Coach packages went on sale at 6pm on Thursday 1 October 2026 and sold out in under 30 minutes. General admission went on sale at 9am on Sunday 4 October 2026 and sold out in about 42 minutes.
When do I pay the balance for Glastonbury 2027?
Between 9am Thursday 1 April to 11.59pm Wednesday 7 April 2027. Bookings not paid in full by then are cancelled and the tickets go into the resale.
How much are Glastonbury 2027 tickets?
A general admission ticket costs £408 including a £5 booking fee. You pay a £100 deposit per person when you book. The £308 balance, plus £11.25 postage and packing per order, is due between 9am Thursday 1 April to 11.59pm Wednesday 7 April 2027.
How many tickets can I buy?
Up to six per booking: the lead booker plus up to five other people. Every person needs their own registration number and the postcode they registered with.
Do I need my registration number to join the queue?
Yes, this is new for 2027. Before you reach the waiting room there is a puzzle check, then you enter your own registration number. Your queue place is linked to it, so using the same registration on several devices does not give you extra places. Use one device per registration. You still enter everyone's registration numbers and postcodes again on the booking page.
How does the Glastonbury ticket queue work?
When the sale starts, everyone already on the sales page is randomly given a place in the queue. People who arrive afterwards join the back. A progress bar shows how close you are to the booking page. There is no advantage to being first on the page before the sale opens, as long as you are there before it starts.
Should I refresh the queue page or use several devices?
No. The official guidance is to stick to one tab and one device per IP address and not to refresh once you are in the queue. Refreshing or using several tabs or devices can look like a bot, lose you your place, and get you denied access.
Can I use a VPN or an ad blocker?
No. For 2027 the festival has tightened its bot protection. It asks you not to use a VPN or proxy, to disable or remove ad blockers and privacy plugins, to clear your cookies, and to make sure your device and browser are up to date.
Why did my queue progress bar go backwards?
In the 2027 coach sale many people saw their progress bar drop back, for example from three green blocks to two. The festival has not explained why. Whatever the cause, stay on the page: refreshing can lose your place.
How long do I have on the booking page?
The 2027 ticket sale FAQ says you have 10 minutes to complete the booking page before your session expires. Registration numbers can be locked for up to 10 minutes if details are entered incorrectly or a booking attempt is already held against them.
What happens after I enter the registration details?
You are shown the people you are booking for, with their registration photos, so you can check they are right. These people cannot be changed once you continue. You then check your billing address, enter your payment details, accept the terms and pay within the time allowed. Tickets are not allocated until payment has gone through.
Can I practise what happens after the Glastonbury queue?
Yes. Most people have never seen the pages after the queue, because only a small share of the queue ever gets through. TicketDay takes you through the same sequence: the 10-minute booking page with six registration numbers and postcodes, checking the ticket holders shown back to you, choosing a coach for the Ticket + Coach sale, then paying the deposit. The queue practice is free and the full booking practice unlocks the rest.
How is Ticket + Coach different?
You also choose a departure town, a Wednesday or Thursday departure, and a time where a town has several. The whole booking must travel on the same option, and the coach fare is paid in full when you book, as well as the deposit.
Can I buy car parking or refund protection when I pay the deposit?
Not at the deposit stage. Car park passes and TicketPlan Refund Protection are offered when you pay the balance in April.
Does TicketDay improve my chances of getting a ticket?
No. Queue places are random and nothing can change yours. TicketDay helps you practise the process, so you are less likely to make mistakes or run out of time once you get through.
Is TicketDay the official Glastonbury or See Tickets site?
No. TicketDay is an independent practice tool. It is not affiliated with Glastonbury Festivals or See Tickets and does not sell tickets. The real sale takes place only on glastonbury.seetickets.com.
