Glasto tickets on sale

Hopefuls rush to purchase tickets

06 Apr 08 - Tickets for this year’s Glastonbury Festival have gone on sale.

Demand for the much loved event is a huge as ever - with hopefuls who pre-registered for tickets racing to purchase from 9am this Sunday morning.

Although there have been no major reported problems, when the sale opened the official Glastonbury website would not let normal traffic through stating ‘the server is too busy’.

However, a Glastonbury spokesman says organisers are happy with how the systems are working so far.

This year's event features performances from Jay-Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve.

It's also been announced Dizzee Rascal will play a headline slot on the Park Stage, and the Levellers will headline the Left Field Stage following sets from Alabama 3, The Slackers, and King Blues.

Ticket price is £155 for a weekend ticket, plus £5 booking fee per ticket and £4 post and packaging per order.

Glastonbury takes place between  27-29 June at Worthy Farm, in Pilton.
