Glastonbury tickets sold out within just 42 minutes of going on sale as hundreds of thousands of Britons rushed to get a spot.

Tickets for next year’s festival went online at 9am on Sunday – but fans received messages as early as 9.42am that they were sold out, leaving many devastated.

It comes after organisers brought in a new queuing system that was hoped to make the process fairer as each registered attendee would only get one place in the line.

Fans had to complete a CAPTCHA test and then enter a unique registration number before they entered the queue.

This meant people couldn’t join the line on multiple devices or tabs open in an attempt to beat others to festival tickets.

According to vendor See Tickets: ‘Tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2027 are now SOLD OUT.

‘Confirmation emails are going out now. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets this morning and sorry to those who missed out.’

But Glastonbury hopefuls were left fuming with the new process as thousands missed out bagging tickets for next year’s festival from June 23-27.

One person wrote on X: ‘I mean it’s great tickets are being sold but there’s needs to be some transparency too. Did everything asked.

‘Got in the waiting room before 08:50. Stuck on 2 bars How are the queue places allocated. Random? First come first served. All cloak and dagger.’

Another said: ‘We didn’t get Glastonbury festival tickets. Absolutely gutted.

‘But as a consolation prize, we’ve just booked Boomtown tickets which we are absolutely stoked about. Did anyone else get lucky?’

A third wrote: ‘The dreaded year has arrived where I didn’t get Glastonbury tickets. I’m in a period of mourning do not speak to me.’

Meanwhile a fourth said: ‘Didn’t get Glastonbury tickets, I’m so upset.’

And a fifth wrote: ‘Once again no tickets, I have been trying to get tickets most of my life which is a very long time.’

However not everyone was unsuccessful as those who managed to bag a ticket took to social media to celebrate.

One person wrote: ‘Can’t believe I’m going back to GLASTONBURY NEXT YEAR.’

Another said: ‘Glastonbury 2027! I can’t wait to be back on that farm.’

A third wrote: ‘I can’t believe it, after countless years of trying without a sniff, I finally got GLASTONBURY TICKETS!!!’

A fourth said: ‘I can’t believe I’m going to my first ever festival and it’s GLASTONBURY???? Quite the flex if I do say so myself.’

Meanwhile a fifth wrote: ‘Got Glastonbury tickets. Worth the trip from Australia for my fav place in the world.’

Last month Harry Styles fans speculated that the popstar is set to headline Glastonbury 2027 after leaving a major gap in his tour schedule.

The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker, 32, thrilled fans when he announced this week that he is extending his Together, Together tour into 2027, with Harry adding 25 new dates across 12 cities.

As the full list of cities was revealed, it hinted at a key opportunity for the singer to perform at the iconic Somerset festival, which takes place between June 23-27.

The tour will begin on Friday, April 2 and he will play new venues in the United States and Canada with back-to-back shows at State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, AZ, before continuing to Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and Chicago till the end of May.

Tellingly, there’s a space of almost a month before Harry takes to the stage in Berlin at the beginning of July, giving him plenty of time to prepare for a gig on the famous Pyramid stage.

And in August it was reported that Olivia Dean turned down the chance to headline the festival next year as she plans to focus on writing new music instead.

The Rein Me In singer, 27, was reportedly offered the opportunity to play at this year’s festival, where her former love interest Harry Styles is tipped to perform.

Olivia is instead hoping to play at the 2028 gig but her decision to not perform has ‘nothing to do with Harry’.

After his split from Taylor Russell, Harry sent tongues wagging after he was spotted on a burger date at Five Guys with Olivia in 2024.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Olivia’s team had conversations with Glastonbury about headlining in 2027 and she was extremely flattered.

‘But after some reflection, she said she wants to take some time to work on new music next year, with a rough plan to return when her third album is ready.

‘Of course, if she did it next year, her name would be right next to Harry’s and she just wants to move on from that now. She’s happy for him to have his moment, but she doesn’t feel like next year is hers.’

Among the other acts rumoured to be playing on the Pyramid Stage next year include Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Elton John and Paul McCartney.
