Michael Eavis is warning music fans not to buy Glastonbury tickets from an unauthorised website. The Glastonbury promoter has contacted trading standards officials over a website that claims to be selling tickets for the 2003 event. Tickets aren’t due to go on sale until next March, and then only if the local council grant the festival a licence.
Writing on the festival’s official website Eavis said: "This company has absolutely no authority to sell these tickets. A licence has not yet been agreed with Mendip District Council, and companies like this can only harm the Festival's interests. As this site has no tickets there is no possibility that money you would pay over - which seems to include an exorbitant mark up - would go to the good causes that the Glastonbury Festival supports."
