Glastonbury organisers say they're going to let people bulk buy tickets for next year's event when they go on sale next month. I don't think I really understand how it's going to work, but music fans will be able to buy an initial six tickets, but then will be given the opportunity to book more under the same registration number. Registration has already opened for Glastonbury 2009, which takes place from 26 – 28 Jun, and a first batch of tickets will go on sale at 9am on 5 Oct, with a second following on 5 Apr.
A festival spokesman said: "Lots of people have wanted to come in groups over the last couple of years and they haven't been able to. But the registration system has worked so well and we have the security in place to give us that option this time. So people can buy as many tickets as they want".
Up to 100,000 tickets will be made available in October but a second batch of tickets will also go sale from 9am on 5 April 2009.
Meanwhile, Emily Eavis has been talking about who she'd like to book for next year, saying: "Coldplay are a great Glastonbury band, as are Radiohead, but it's really hard to say at the moment for definite who's going to play next year. It would be really good to have an appearance by Led Zeppelin too, that's one band who haven't played here".
