Glastonbury Festival in brief
The festival takes place on Worthy Farm, not in the town of Glastonbury. The Abbey, the Tor and the High Street are a separate trip, and the town is not the festival site. 2026 is a fallow year, so nothing is happening on the farm this summer. The organisers say the next edition runs from Wednesday 23 June to Sunday 27 June 2027.
This site is an independent guide. It is not the festival's website and has no connection to the organisers or to any ticket seller. All ticket information here comes from the organisers' own announcements, and it is a summary, not a booking service. Check the organisers' website for anything you plan to rely on.

What a festival ticket costs
Two published prices, from different years. Do not mix them up.
| Edition | Ticket | Booking fee | Total before postage |
|---|---|---|---|

| 2027 | £403 | £5 | £408 |
The 2027 price is announced with £11.25 for postage and packing per order, and £3 for coach tickets. You can pay a £100 deposit per person. The balance of £308 plus postage is due in a window from 1 April 2027 at 09:00 BST to 7 April 2027 at 23:59 BST. The 2025 figure is shown only for comparison and is not an offer.
Beware of unofficial tickets
Private resale is not allowed.
Only the organisers sell tickets
The organisers say tickets are sold only through their official channel, and private resale is forbidden. Because tickets carry a name and a photo, a ticket bought from a stranger is not valid for you.
Do not pay anyone else
This site does not recommend resellers, resale platforms or third-party ticket sites, and it does not link to any. If an offer appears on social media or a marketplace, treat it as unofficial.
Coach and campervan rules
A coach ticket holder must use the assigned coach and cannot buy a campervan ticket. A coach seat cannot be changed into general admission.
Getting to the festival
Transport rules change from year to year.
Train and shuttle
The National Trust names Castle Cary as the nearest station for the Tor. For the festival, the organisers have run a free shuttle for ticket holders between Castle Cary and Gate A, Wednesday to Monday, with no trips at night when no trains run. That was the 2025 offer. The 2027 bus plan is not yet confirmed.
Coach
Coach seats are sold separately and paid for in addition to the ticket. You must use the coach trip you are assigned.
Car
The 2027 car park pass costs £60, plus £3 postage and packing, and is ordered separately when you pay the balance.
Staying in town
A hotel room does not replace a festival ticket. Rooms in Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar need a separate check of the last buses. Do not assume a late-night return from the farm. See where to stay.
Plan the rest of your trip
Tickets, camping and travel have their own pages.
