Those hoping to go to Glastonbury 2023 will have to fork out a small fortune when they go on sale in November as organisers have confirmed tickets will cost £340.

Festival goers will have to pay £335 plus a £5 booking fee for standard tickets, with £50 as a deposit and the balance due by the first week of April.

It’s a shocking rise considering at the last general sale in 2019 they were priced at £265 plus a £5 booking fee for what should have been the 2020 festival.

Of course, that year, was of course subsequently cancelled twice due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tickets for 2019’s festival were sold in 2018 for £248, plus a £5 booking fee.

Fans have expressed their shock and fury at the soaring prices on social media, with some going as far as to suggest a boycott.

‘That’s far too expensive,’ one said. ‘People should boycott and not try to buy tickets for next year. This should put you all off buying a ticket. You don’t need to go for that price!’

‘An absolutely mental increase,’ another wrote. ‘I understand increased costs of everything, I don’t understand £50 increase per ticket. Oh but they’re giving us free firewood. Got it.’

But others are determined to go regardless of the costs. One penned: ‘If you think I’m willing to spend £350 on a ticket to the greatest place and biggest party on the plant then your right, I am…..’

The price rise comes as many businesses and individuals struggle during the cost-of-living crisis as energy costs soar and inflation remains high.

Fans will be able to purchase coach and ticket packages for the Glastonbury 2023 festival from 6pm on November 3 and standard tickets from 9am on November 6.

An additional fee will be charged for the coach transfer if this package is selected.

The music event will return to Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 21 to 25, it was previously announced.
