Glastonbury – Selling Out at a Record Rate

Traditionally tickets from Glastonbury are released when the first artists on the line-up are announced; however this changed a couple of years ago. In 2008 tickets sales were not what they usually are and by the time the festival began there were still tickets left. There were a few reasons attributed to why the tickets weren’t sold, one being the bad weather at the previous 4 years, the other reason was the choice of headlines, with rap artist Jay – Z considered a strange appointment as a headliner by many of the usual “rock loving” Glastonbury types.

Due to the tickets not selling out in 2008, a pre-registration process for buying tickets early was introduced. This meant the people could buy tickets for the event from the 5th of October almost 8 months before the festival began and tickets for the event sold out within a few months, well before the festival happened.

The same process went ahead for the 2010 event but this had huge first day sales, by the first day of tickets being available all tickets had sold out and it’s only possible to get tickets for the returns which will be realised in February.

One of the reasons for the success of Glastonbury is the range and number of artists that they have every year. The first year of the festival, though it was called Pilton Festival then, was in 1970, with 1,500 people attending and the main act for the event was T-Rex. For the next few years the event became more and more popular and attracted a high level of artists performing at the event. Some of the most popular artists over the years have been The Levellers, which set the record for the highest ever stage front crowd, Oasis, Pulp and PJ Harvey in 1995 and Jay – Z who, despite the controversy surrounding him being there, was a huge success and introduced a different type of Glastonbury goer.

Glastonbury festival, unsurprisingly, takes place just to the east of the town Glastonbury. This is in the south west of England in the county of Somerset. It takes place on Worthy Farm which is the farm of the Glastonbury organiser, Michael Eavis.

Glastonbury is not only a music festival but a place for the rich and famous stars to hang out and set new styles for the festival chic look. Kate Moss wearing wellies at the festival lead to an increase in the sales of wellies in that year and more recently there have been a host of celebrities wearing the high fashion Havaiana flip flops.

Jay-Z does Wonderwall & 99 Problems – Glastonbury UK 2008


www.phoneshopuk.biz Jay-Z answered his critics, notably Oasis’s Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury. Striding on stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder, he led the crowd in a rendition of Oasis’s “Wonderwall”, smiling throughout, and with wife Beyonce Knowles in attendance, his set included songs such as “99 Problems”. In a radical departure from the indie rock and guitar bands commonly associated with Glastonbury, the festival recruited the New Yorker in a bid to reach out to a younger …

Buying you Glastonbury, V Fesitval, T in the Park and Reading Tickets

Before you can even think about planning this years festival trip, you need to make sure you can get a ticket! This becomes more and more difficult every year as festivals become more popular and demand increases. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can really do to guarantee that you get a ticket, but there are a number of ways to increase your chances. Last year, all of the most popular festivals sold out in a matter of hours, some in a matter of minutes.

Glastonbury in particular is very difficult to get hold of tickets for, with demand outstripping supply by more than 5 to 1. Even though capacity is expected to be increased for this years Glastonbury Festival, securing a ticket is still going to be difficult. The organisers have this year implemented a new and unique ticketing system, requiring anyone who wants a ticket to register in advance, with tickets being printed with the purchasers photo. They believe that this will stop tickets being resold on the secondary market but only time will tell if it is a success.

The following steps look at the main ways in which you can buy your ticket, when to buy, where from and what you can do if you don’t get a ticket.

So where to start? Firstly, here are the dates for all the 2007 festivals we’ll be covering. There are (of course) other festivals, however within the pages of this book, I’ll be looking specifically at the following, as these are the festivals that are likely to sell out within hours or even minutes of going on sale. That said, a lot of the information in this book may be useful for most of the other music festivals and concerts too.

• V Festival: (Stafford & Chelmsford): 18th/19th August

• Reading & Leeds Festival: August bank holiday weekend

• Glastonbury Festival: 22 – 24 June

• T in the Park: 7th – 8th July 2007

• Isle of Wight Festival: 8th – 10th June

• Download Festival: 8th – 10th June
