Are you ready? If you want to get your hands on tickets for Glastonbury 2027, you’ll no doubt already know that the tickets go on sale next week. The dates are confirmed for June 23-27 2027 and the general admission price has been revealed as £408 (including booking fee).
There are plenty of reasons why it’s so difficult to get a spot at Glastonbury. Many – including plenty in the Time Out office – would go as far as to say it’s the best music festival in the world. And it’s not only a music lovers’ paradise: Glasto is also a 24-hour city of entertainment, with all sorts of cinema, circus, art and performance on offer for five days straight.
As far as the 2027 festival goes, there’s already been a fair amount of speculation as to who might be playing: Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Madonna and Charli xcx are all rumoured headliners. The full line-up won’t be revealed until late spring next year.
Glastonbury’s organisers recently announced that the festival ticket price for next year would be its highest ever. Tickets for the 2027 event broke the £400 barrier to £408. Still keen to go? It’s going to be a mission, that’s for sure. But if you’re up for it, here are some tips that may well improve your chances of scooping tickets.

Tips for how to get Glastonbury 2027 tickets
1. Register
Pre-registration is the crucial first step to securing tickets – so crucial, in fact, that there’s no way you’ll be able to buy one without doing so. The deadline: 5pm BST on Friday September 25.
2. Work in groups of six
Registered? Good: now it’s about to get serious. You’ll have more of a chance of getting a ticket if you’re in a team, so it’s time to round up the troops and work out logistics. Generally, one person can book up to a maximum of six tickets per order – so grab a team of six, make a group chat, ensure everyone in it has registered by the deadline. It pays to have friends: working in a group of six will increase your chances of getting a ticket by 500 percent.
3. Consider the coach
There are two types of Glastonbury tickets: standard weekend tickets and coach weekend tickets. Ticket-and-coach packages go live on Thursday October 1 at 6pm BST. General sale tickets go on sale on Sunday October 4 at 9am BST.
What are the benefits of a coach package? As well as being a hell of a lot better for the environment than driving and meaning you won’t need to deal with potential rail strikes or a long, tired drive home, some people say that getting a coach from a random destination will give you a better chance of securing tickets. This is something to consider, but you have to take it seriously: you won’t be able to just buy a coach ticket and make your own way there, because they give you your ticket on the bus.
4. Use spreadsheets
Now that you’ve got your group of six and have argued about whether you’re going to get the coach or not, it’s time to get going with the paperwork. That means spreadsheets, it means schedules and it means serious organisation.
A good way to plan ahead for the big day of ticket sales is to create a shared spreadsheet (Google Sheets is a safe bet) with all group members’ names, postcodes and finalised registration details. You’ll all be able to view it and copy-and-paste your essential info into the form when the scramble finally arrives.
5. Have the money ready
It sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how easy it is to get all the way to check out and realise you spent your Glastonbury savings on another round at the pub the night before. Ticket prices for Glastonbury 2027 are at their highest ever, costing £408 (plus coach fees).
To nab a Glastonbury ticket in the first wave, you’ll need a £100 deposit per ticket – meaning you’ll need a minimum of £600 cash in your account to pay for your group of six in one transaction. Make sure everyone in your team has enough money, and that your online banking is working smoothly. You don’t want to miraculously end up at the payment page to have your ticket purchase bounce back!
6. Set an alarm

Set your alarms now, block out your diary, cancel your plans the night before – you’re not going to want to sleep through this alarm.
7. Be tech-savvy
No, we’re not talking about bots or AI. You’re going to want to line up all the tech you have to the best of your advantage when trying to purchase Glastonbury tickets – and to get everyone in your group to do the same.
Set up in separate houses with separate internet connections. Charge up your phone, your tablet, your laptop, maybe your tamagotchi – basically every reliable electronic internet device you can get your hands on – and head to the corner of your home with the best internet connection.
Once you load up the Glastonbury ticket page on every device and the clock strikes nine, you’ll probably end up in the infamous virtual queue. There’s no easy way around this, but using different devices will marginally increase your chances of getting ahead. You can also try using multiple browsers on one device, each with only one tab open (don’t try multiple tabs at once, this will slow things down).
8. Keep trying
Didn’t get tickets this time round? Don’t worry – Glastonbury puts on a ticket re-sale and a coach-ticket re-sale closer to the event, when you can stress out, scream at your computer and try these tips all over again.

What’s the secret to getting tickets?
There’s no secret per se. Organisation is the name of the game. Know your dates, your times, your registration and bank details. Then it’s all down to luck.
