Glastonbury 2027: coach tickets oversold in admin error

Coach tickets to Glastonbury 2027 have been oversold due to an admin error from the festival’s ticketing partner.

The upcoming edition of Glastonbury will be the first back following a fallow year in 2026, and will take place between Wednesday, June 23 and Sunday, June 27. For the first time in Glastonbury’s history, prices have surpassed the £400 mark for each ticket – with general admission tickets costing £408 each, including a £5 booking fee.

The first wave of tickets went live at 6pm BST on October 1, and saw countless fans eagerly joining the long virtual queue to try and nab theirs. Coach tickets sold out in under 30 minutes, and general admission tickets sold out in under 45 minutes when they went live shortly afterwards.

Now, however, it has been confirmed that due to an administrative error from Glasto’s official ticketing partner, more tickets were sold for the coach package than there were seats available.

An email has been sent from See Tickets to customers affected by the blunder, and ticketholders have been told that they will not lose their tickets, but instead have their booking converted into a general admission ticket, with the coach fare refunded.

Para quem está afetado e quer manter seu assento de coach, eles têm até 31 de outubro para deixar claro que estão optando por um bilhete de coach e não querem ser trocados para um ingresso de admissão geral.

Some, however, may welcome the change as it allows them more flexibility with how they arrive at the festival, and could let them show up via train or car, rather than exclusively via coach.

See Tickets confirmou que o erro não terá impacto nos depósitos do festival, e os titulares de ingressos podem continuar pagando o saldo restante em abril, como de costume.

Fans who missed out today will have another opportunity when unwanted tickets and those for which the remaining balance has not been paid are offered in the spring 2027 resale.

Ainda não foram anunciados oficialmente os artistas para Glastonbury 2027, embora a organizadora Emily Eavis tenha confirmado em agosto que os três principais do Pyramid Stage já foram contratados.

Early bookmakers’ favourites for headliners have included Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Harry Styles, Radiohead, Fontaines D. C., Muse and The Rolling Stones.

Both Sam Fender and Harry Styles’ recently announced 2027 tour dates that leave a gap over Glastonbury weekend, while Fontaines D. C. currently have the Friday (June 25) open ahead of their two huge shows at Slane Castle.

Speculation around The Rolling Stones has also continued. Ronnie Wood told NME recently that he would play Glastonbury 2027 “at the drop of a hat”, although he admitted he did not know whether his bandmates felt the same way.

Robbie Williams, enquanto isso, anunciou shows ao ar livre para a semana imediatamente após Glastonbury, alimentando sugestões de que ele poderia estar na fila para o Sunday Legends Slot.

Two major names have effectively been ruled out. Eavis dismissed speculation around Madonna, saying: “No, it’s definitely not Madonna”, while she later responded to calls for Oasis to headline with: “Not this time!”.

Other names speculated for the 2027 line-up include Tame Impala, Kraftwerk, Angine De Poitrine and many more, and the line-up is usually announced in March or April.

The last Glastonbury, in 2025, was headlined by The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, with other major performances coming from Charli XCX, Wolf Alice, Rod Stewart, Doechii, RAYE, Kneecap and Pulp.
