Got FOMO from this year’s Glastonbury? Here’s how to get tickets for the 2024 festival
As the first day of Glastonbury kicks off, the social media feeds are flooded with festival-goers enjoying the Somerset sounds – much to the chagrin of those unable to secure a ticket.
Revelers will enjoy Elton John, Arctic Monkeys and Guns N Roses and have access to hundreds of stages and activities over the five-day weekend.
Ricky, Astley, Lil Nas X, Blondie, Lizzo and Aitch will also be performing all weekend, proving to be an enviable lineup for those unable to access.
The festival is known for being difficult to access – and climbing over a fence is unfortunately not an option – so getting your hands on a golden ticket can be an impossible task.
For those who can’t survive another year with festival FOMO – here’s how to get to the front of the line in 2024.

How to get Glastonbury 2024 tickets
Tickets for Glastonbury 2024 are not yet on sale, but will likely continue later this year as they went on sale in November 2022.
Sales dates will likely be announced a few months after this year’s festival ends. Tickets plus bus tours go on sale first and general admission tickets follow.
Tickets are sold exclusively through glastonbury.seetickets.comso make sure you don’t spend a fortune on illegitimate tickets elsewhere.
When the sale starts, you’ll be taken to a waiting page that refreshes every 20 seconds. The festival recommends using only one tab in your internet browser while attempting to purchase tickets.
If you’re lucky enough to get through, you’ll have a limited amount of time to enter your details for each ticket and purchase them, so make sure you enter the correct information.
While it can be tempting to buy in bulk for your family and friends, Glastonbury limits the number of tickets per transaction to six.
