Michael Eavis says the new ticketing system for Glastonbury 2009 will be the fairest ever, giving everyone who wants one a chance to get a ticket. As previously repored, tickets for next year's event go on sale on Sunday, with fans able to pay in full or put down a £50 deposit.
Eavis told BBC Newsbeat: "After three years, I am now confident that we have developed the fairest ticketing operation available anywhere. With the new scheme, backed by the all-important registration process, everyone has an equal chance of getting a ticket. And most importantly, every ticket will be going to a genuine festival-goer direct. I'm also convinced that the £50 deposit will help a lot of people to spread the payment for their ticket over a much longer period".
