Glastonbury festival tickets 2024 sell out in less than an hour.
Oxfam is offering people the chance to get into Glastonbury Festival for free through its volunteering scheme.
The charity, which is an official partner of the Worthy Farm event, is looking for 8,500 volunteers for its biggest summer of festivals yet in 2024.
In addition to Glastonbury, volunteers are needed for various other major UK festivals such as Reading & Leeds, Latitude, Isle Of Wight and Boardmasters.
Participants will be given free entry to the site in exchange for stewarding shifts among other roles, including checking tickets and wristbands at the gates, and supporting accessible viewing platforms by the stages.
Oxfam volunteers are required to complete three eight-hour shifts during the festival period, which will give them time to enjoy the live performances and take in the atmosphere when not working.
The first batch of tickets for the 2024 festival were due to go on sale at 6pm on 2 November for the coach package, while the general admission tickets were expected to go live on the morning of 5 November.
Many aired their grievances with the ticketing system on social media, complaining that they had been stuck on the dreaded “screen of death” – a nickname given to the Glastonbury holding page that refreshes every 20 seconds.
Festival-goers for the 2024 event will be charged £355 plus a £5 booking fee for standard tickets, with £75 as a deposit and the balance due by the first week of April.
It is a £20 increase from this year’s event, which cost £335 plus a £5 booking fee, after a £55 price hike from the 2022 price of £285.
The Somerset-based festival is renowned not just for being one of the biggest festivals in the world but also one of the hardest to get tickets for. Tickets for the 2023 edition sold out within an hour of going on sale last November, while re-sale tickets sold out in just six minutes in April.
