Many people hoping to still be in with a chance of going to Glastonbury 2024 have been left sorely disappointed as the resale tickets sold out in just 22 minutes.
This morning, the musical festival offered people a final chance to go to this year’s event, which boasts a stellar line-up including Shania Twain, Coldplay, Cyndi Lauper, SZA, Avril Lavigne, Janelle Monáe and many more.
The first batch tickets, which have been sold exclusively through the ticketing company See Tickets, were released for the general admission sale on November 19 last year, which sold out in an hour.
Five months later, the resale has taken place – and it took just over 20 minutes for all of those to go too.
In a post shared on X at 9.22am – 22 minutes after the sale began at 9am – the official account for Glastonbury wrote: ‘The tickets in this morning’s resale have now all been sold. Our thanks to everyone who bought one, and sorry to those who missed out.’
The X account for See Tickets also added: ‘A limited amount of returned campervan tickets, Worthy View and Sticklinch accommodation for @Glastonbury 2024 will go on sale to ticket holders at 11am.’
While some people were able to get their hands on coveted tickets, others weren’t so fortunate, expressing their upset over their disappointment on social media.
One unsuccessful hopeful called Adam wrote: ‘4 attempts unsuccessful, love it.’
‘Oh well go again next year,’ added Robbo, while Lisa simply commented with a row of sobbing emojis.
‘Never want to go anyway,’ Simon quipped with crying emojis, as Brooke added: ‘Wanted to go so bad! Never had any luck. Only went as a kid with Mam and dad, every year! Fingers crossed get them one year!
‘To go with my old hippy dad and my kids would be a dream come true! New memories to cherish for years to come.’

While the tickets are all now well and truly sold out, some peope might be hoping that they could still go to Glastonbury by signing up for volunteering role.
So is that possible?
Can I sign up for Glastonbury volunteering?
There are various ways that people can volunteer at Glastonbury, including through Oxfam and via Festaff.
Oxfam has a team of 2,000 people volunteering at the festival, carrying out roles such as monitoring festivalgoers at the gates, helping at the Oxfam festival shop and campaigning with the public.
With Festaff, people volunteering as stewards with the organisation have to work three eight-hour shifts between the Wednesday and Sunday.
On the website for WaterAid, it says that applications for volunteering at Glastonbury are now closed.

On Oxfam’s website, it still gives the option for people to register their interest to be volunteers, which will also sign you up to the charity’s mailing list.
Meanwhile, Festaff states on its website: ‘All those who worked two camping events wiht us in 2023 will be invited to apply for Glastonbury 2024 – all have been sent an email.
‘We will not be accepting any other applications or further announcements until these are all dealt with. We hope to have these processed by the end of February.
‘You must select a sister event to partner your Glastonbury 2024 application – camping events only – Not BST or APE.’
