Get ready, Glastonbury fans - the general ticket sale has now kicked off. May battle commence.
Earlier this week, all 15,000 ticket and coach packages sold out in just 14 minutes. Anticipation is high among the remaining who are registered to nab the remaining general tickets, which went on sale at 9am today (5 October).
General tickets are available online from here, priced at £220 (£5 booking fee per ticket + postage and packing per booking). You will be able to reserve your ticket by leaving a deposit of just £50 per ticket. You will then have until 11.59pm on Wednesday 8 April 2015 to pay the full amount. If you fail to do so, you will be refunded your deposit, minus a £15.
Tickets sold out in just one hour and 27 minutes last year, so sharpen your elbows.
To help you out, Glasto have issued the following official advice:
1. Make sure you have all your registration details (including postcodes) ready and checked in advance, that there are sufficient cleared funds on the card you intend to use to book, and that you know all the security information for that card.
2. Be aware that tickets are not held whilst you’re entering your details, so you need to be ready to enter all your details quickly and accurately once you reach the booking page.
3. Be persistent and patient – there are likely to be more people trying to buy tickets than tickets available, so inevitably not everyone will be able to book tickets, but the longer you try the more likely you are to get a ticket, so don't give up after the first half an hour.
4. Stick to one tab, in one window, so you can focus on entering your details without confusing your browser. Access to the booking page is limited to 10 minutes from the point you enter your registration details, so if you have lots of tabs refreshing the same page, the clock will start as soon as the first one of those tabs hits the site, which may have been a window you weren't keeping an eye on.
6. If the page ‘hangs’ and you can’t get any further, try pressing back once and then continue your booking from that point. If that doesn't help, close your browser and start again. Please don’t continue to refresh the page beyond 10 minutes after entering your details as your access to the page will have expired. You will need to close the browser and start again to gain fresh access to the booking page.
7. If an attempt to book is already held against your registration number, your number will be held for up to 10 minutes whilst the transaction is attempted, but will be released if the transaction fails, to give you the chance to try again.
Tickets to Glasto are famously only issued to those who have registered with photo ID and contact details to prevent scalping. If you've registered, then vist here to find your allocated number.
Glastonbury 2015 takes place from Wednesday 24 to Sunday 28 June, with rumoured acts including Fleetwood Mac, Muse, Depeche Mode, AC/DC, Diana Ross, Foals and Fatboy Slim.
