"Glastonbury’s Ticket Prices Skyrocket: Will You Need a Second Mortgage to Dance in the Mud?"

Added on September 8, 2026 inFree Music News

It’s never too early to start budgeting for the Glastonbury Festival, especially with the ticket prices for 2027 now officially out and the sale dates looming! Are you ready for a game of financial acrobatics, or perhaps it’s time to dust off the old piggy bank? As October approaches, festival enthusiasts find themselves on the edge of their seats, frantically counting those coins—because if last year’s scramble is any indication, tickets will vanish faster than a shooting star on a clear night. And let’s not forget, the cosmic vibes suggest that astrological alignments can influence our luck—so, what Taurus charm are you bringing to the table this year?

The festival, spanning from June 23 to June 27, 2027, promises to be an unforgettable experience. At a starting price of £408 (including a £5 booking fee), it’s a stark jump from 2025’s offerings, but when have memories ever come cheap?

Mark your calendars! Tickets with coach travel drop on October 1st at 6 PM BST, followed by general admission on October 4th at 9 AM BST. The countdown to your next big adventure is officially on! Want to dive deeper into all the details? LEARN MORE.

Festival-goers better have their savings at the ready, as the ticket prices for Glastonbury 2027 have been revealed, as well as the date they’ll be released for sale.

Tickets will go on sale in October, meaning there’s just one month to start scraping those pennies together and get prepared for the dreaded scramble to get tickets, seeing as the festival usually sells out within an hour.

In a post on Glastonbury’s official Instagram page, organisers said tickets with coach travel would go on sale at 18:00 BST on Thursday, 1 October. General admission tickets will then go on sale a couple of days later, at 09:00 BST on Sunday, 4 October.

And as for the price?

General admission tickets for the world-famous festival – which will be from Wednesday, 23 June until Sunday, 27 June, 2027 – will set punters back £408, including a £5 booking fee per ticket.

This is a notable rise from last year’s pricing, with general admission tickets for the 2025 weekend being £378.50, including the booking fee.

To prevent touting – the practice of buying festival tickets from an official seller and reselling them for a profit on the secondary market – tickets for Glastonbury are strictly non-transferable, the festival’s website explains.

Each ticket will feature the photograph of the registered ticket holder, and security checks will be carried out to ensure that only the person in the photograph is admitted to the festival.

It’s also important to note that everyone aged 13 or over who wishes to attend the festival must be individually registered before they can try for a ticket in the sales.

Lineup rumours for Glastonbury 2027

As usual with Glastonbury, the headliners and full lineup are yet to be revealed, and this is expected to be announced in early 2027.

Following up from last year’s headliners The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, Glastonbury Tips has predicted the likes of Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Fontaines DC, and of course, Oasis.

The Gallagher brothers are actually set to play 23 UK gigs next summer, which has got fans’ hopes up for the iconic Manchester band to finally grace the Pyramid stage.

But low and behold, Liam Gallagher brutally shut down these rumours this summer, taking to X to pen: “It’s not HAPPENING so all you croc wearing flag waving **** ***** can calm the **** down.”

That’s that, then…

Emily Eavis speaks on next year’s lineup

Organiser Emily Eavis has already confirmed that Glastonbury’s 2027 lineup has been booked, and she shut down rumours that the Queen of Pop Madonna would be one of the headliners.

“No, it’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that,” Eavis told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme.

“But we have got three [other] headliners and we’re very excited about it – it’s all coming together really well,” she added.

Of course, as Glastonbury-goers will know all too well, predictions and rumours don’t always turn out to be true, so we’ll just have to wait and see what the festival has in store for us next year.
