As previously reported, the first batch of Glastonbury tickets, just under 70,000 of the 137,500 total places, went on sale on Sunday morning, and it seems they were all sold out or reserved within the day, which is a far more promising start than last time. We shall see how things go when the second half of the tickets go on sale on 5 Apr.
Glastonbury spokesman John Shearlaw told The Press Association: "We are very calm about it - it's a vote of confidence. While it's been too early for some people, our regulars, like students, obviously see it as a good deal to put £50 now and pay the rest later. We are pretty chuffed. It's brilliant that here we are in October talking about a festival that isn't happening until next year. This is the third year of pre-registration and we are the one festival that can say our tickets are not going to touts".
