Glastonbury tickets are by no means cheap and next year’s eye-watering ticket price has fans crying as sale day dawns.

With an overhauled ticket system – featuring a fancy new queue – fans are preparing to hand over hundreds in a bid to see the still unannounced headliners.

This year’s Worthy Farm event saw the likes of Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA hit the Pyramid Stage as thousands of music fans made the pilgrimage to the iconic annual event.

Each year, a big talking point among festivalgoers is the cost of attending the live music events and whether the rise will stop wider audiences from pitching a tent and enjoying their favourite bands in the sunshine – or, most likely, the pouring rain.

Glastonbury is one of the more expensive festivals in the world, although organisers state this cost is simply to keep it going rather than raking in profit.

However, cost doesn’t seem to be stopping music lovers as last year over 2.5million of us tried to grab tickets, with an estimated 6million devices set to battle it out for 2025’s festival.

How much are Glastonbury 2025 tickets?

Glastonbury 2025 won’t be cheap as general admission full-price tickets cost a whopping £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee, making a total of £378.50.

Included in the price is a ticket to the full five-day festival and camping, plus a range of other perks including a free mobile phone charger and access to the Kidzfield area.

It’s a 40% increase from the 2019 festival before the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis, when a ticket cost £248.

The first big price jump came in 2023, when a general admission full-price ticket set Glastonbury fans back £335, plus a £5 booking fee – this was a £75 increase from 2022.

Then came Glastonbury 2024, which pushed the price up by another £20 to £355 each.

‘Just saw the new price for Glastonbury tickets and almost choked,’ Georgiamaew_ wrote on X when it was first revealed how much they would cost.

RogerFever pointed out: ‘2022 tickets were £280. This is getting ridiculous.’

Others predicted that following the fallow year in 2026, tickets for 2027 and beyond could cost fans more than £400.

Some fans thought that the price is ‘reasonable’ for the number of bands that perform, and branded Glastonbury Festival the ‘best place on Earth.’
