Glastonbury 2027 tickets live: General sale to take place today as new system catches fans out

Before the Glastonbury 2027 lineup is revealed, just how much do artists get paid to perform at Worthy Farm?

As we brace for the general sale to open at 9am, here’s a recap of what our critic made of Olivia Rodrigo’s headline show last year:

Come on, Glastonbury fans, you’ve got this!

Many fans had organised themselves into what is known as “syndicates” – where a group of Glastonbury hopefuls join forces in order to boost their chances of buying up to six tickets.

However, when they logged on to the site, they found that they were asked to enter their registration number first – instead of the previous system, where they got through the queue and then had to enter their registration number to complete the purchase.

The new method means that fans are assigned a unique place in the queue. Trying to enter the same registration number on different devices or browser windows does not provide a new queue spot.

It appears that the change was made in order to tackle bots and touts, as well as to try and make the ticket-buying process more democratic.

The Somerset-based festival took a break this year to allow the farm land to recover, having seen Rod Stewart, The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo perform in 2025.

Now, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that next year’s headliners have signed on the dotted line – although there are two huge acts who won’t be making an appearance at Worthy Farm….

OK, it’s another chance for fans to get their hands on tickets to Glastonbury next year.
