Glastonbury fans left raging as thousands miss out on resale tickets after they sold out in minutes

Glastonbury fans were left raging after failing to buy resale tickets, which sold out in minutes.

Final sales for the popular music festival were available on Sunday, but due to popular demand were gone within just 20 minutes.

The official X account for Glastonbury posted an announcement after fans were furious at not being able to snap up tickets this weekend.

‘On a morning of incredible demand, all of the tickets in today’s resale have now been sold,’ the post read.

‘Thank you to everyone who bought one, and sorry to those who missed out.’

Fans seemed to be gutted about the new system, with many suggesting it affected their chances at grabbing tickets for the extravaganza at Worthy Farm.

Back in November, festival bosses announced changes to its booking process, with the introduction of an automatic queue system.

Rather than refreshing a holding page, they will be ‘randomly ᴀssigned a place in the queue’ once tickets are available, meaning people who join later will automatically be placed at the back of the line.

The system is similar to the one used for major concerts by Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Oasis. 

By cutting out the need to constantly refresh the website, it reduces the load on the ticketing system and may even speed up the process for users. As in previous years, fans need to be registered for tickets in advance.

Taking to X, one person wrote: ‘You’re not sorry! I’m sorry, actually crying here. Gutted isn’t the word. Well done bots.’

Another disappointed fan said: ‘Please reinstate the old system for 2027. This year has been ridiculous. 4 tries and didn’t get anywhere near close.’

British pop-rock group the 1975 and the US pop-punk songwriter Olivia are both first-time headliners. 

The band, led by Matty Healy, have been revealed as the top billing for the Friday night on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm. 

People were sharing their anger on X, with many asking for the old system to come back in future

Pop princess Olivia, who performed on the Other Stage in 2022, will serve as the headline act on the closing night of the event.

Canadian singer-songwriter Neil will fill the Saturday night slot, which will also see performances from Charli XCX, Raye and Doechii.

Neil previously accidentally announced he would be playing at the event on January 1 when he declared he would be ‘withdrawing’ from the festival – despite it never being confirmed in the first place.

He cited that it was due to the fact the event was under the BBC’s ‘corporate control’. The Somerset-based festival has worked closely with its exclusive broadcast partner since 1997.

Neil later admitted had received bad information and confirmed he would once again perform, announcing it was ‘back on his itinerary’.

Sir Rod Stewart was already confirmed for the coveted teatime legends slot on the Sunday.

The Other stage headliners have also been revealed. After her unforgettable Brat Summer – and rivalling Dua Lipa’s headline performance with a DJ set at Glastonbury 2024 – Charli xcx will headline the festival’s second stage on Saturday.
