鈥淥ur thanks to everyone who bought one.鈥

Ticket sales for the festival had been pushed back by two weeks due to registration issues.

The first batch of tickets for the 2024 festival were due to go on sale at 6pm on November 2 for the coach package, while the general admission tickets were expected to go live on the morning of November 5.

Customers had to register in advance to buy tickets for the world-famous event in a bid to prevent touting.

Hours before the first batch of ticket sales, organisers said some fans had claimed they were not made aware that their registrations had expired and 鈥渙ut of fairness鈥 to them the sale was being delayed.

In a post to X, they wrote: 鈥淭his year鈥檚 Glastonbury ticket sale has been moved back by two weeks.

鈥淭his is to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase one.鈥

It added: 鈥淯nfortunately, it has come to light that some individuals hoping to buy tickets for 2024 have discovered after Monday鈥檚 registration deadline that they are no longer registered, despite believing they were.
