Tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2016 went on sale this morning (4 October) and sold out in just 30 minutes.
Hundreds of thousands of music-loving hopefuls set their alarms this morning with the hope of nabbing one of the 118,200 standard tickets available for the festival - for which none of the line-up has been announced yet.
After successfully securing a ticket, many excited, but significantly poorer, Glasto goers took to Twitter to celebrate.
You can't buy happiness but you can buy a #glastonbury ticket... That's basically the same thing 🎉🎉🎉

...and a few who weren't really that bothered.
Instead of wasting time trying to get Glastonbury tickets, simply recreate the festival atmosphere by standing in Waitrose with your iPod on

Meanwhile, organiser Michael Eavis has revealed that headliners have already been booked for the next two years - with the likes of Coldplay, Muse, Radiohead, Fleetwood Mac and Prince all among the rumours.
