Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2027 are officially scheduled to go on sale starting Thursday at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset. Following a designated fallow year in 2026, festival organizers have confirmed that general admission weekend passes will cost £408. This marks the historic first time prices for the multi-day event have surpassed the £400 threshold.
The updated pricing reflects a £29.50 increase compared to the 2025 event price of £378.50. Standard admission covers access to the festival grounds from Wednesday through Sunday and incorporates a mandatory £5 booking fee. Organizers attribute the continuous price climb to higher energy and infrastructure expenses, post-Brexit transport and visa complications, and broader labor shortages.

Ticket Security and Registration Rules
To combat ticket touting and unauthorized resales, Glastonbury maintains a strict non-transferable policy. Every ticket features an embedded photograph of the registered ticket holder. Rigorous security checks are enforced at the gates to guarantee that only the pictured individual gains entry.
Anyone aged 13 or over on June 23, 2027, who wishes to attend must have completed individual registration prior to the September deadline. Fans can buy up to six tickets per transaction by securing a £100 deposit per person during the October sales. The remaining balance of £308 plus postage and packing is due in early April 2027.
Travel, Transport, and Environmental Initiatives
In an ongoing effort to promote sustainable travel to Worthy Farm, coach bundles remain a cornerstone of the ticketing process. Transport provider National Express announced that dedicated direct coach connections spanning 91 nationwide locations will go on sale starting October 4, with one-way fares starting at £24.
Ticket holders who purchase coach packages must travel on their designated vehicle. Additionally, those opting for coach travel cannot subsequently purchase general or accessible campervan parking passes.
What Your Ticket Includes
Despite public debate regarding affordability and the psychological impact of crossing the £400 barrier, organizers emphasize that the ticket price covers an expansive live entertainment package. Admission grants access to:
- More than 4,000 performances across over 100 dedicated stages.
- Five nights of camping with zero early entry fees.
- Free official programs, mobile app downloads, and phone-charging stations.
- The Kidzfield, featuring dedicated entertainment, rides, and activities for families free of charge.
- Substantial annual financial support directed toward charitable organizations like Oxfam, Greenpeace, and WaterAid.
As preparation for the 2027 return ramps up, speculation regarding the headline acts continues to circulate heavily among fans and bookmakers, though official lineup announcements are expected closer to the festival dates.
