Tickets for next year’s Glastonbury Festival will see a price hike to £340 (€392) when they go on sale in early November, organisers have confirmed.
Festival goers will be charged £335 plus a £5 booking fee for standard tickets, with £50 as a deposit and the balance due by the first week of April.
Last time tickets went on general sale was in 2019, and they cost £265 plus a £5 booking fee for what should have been the 2020 festival, but it was subsequently cancelled for two years due to the coronavirus pandemic
Tickets for 2019’s festival were sold in 2018 for £248, plus a £5 booking fee.
The price rise comes as many businesses and individuals struggle during the cost-of-living crisis as energy costs soar and inflation remains high.
