Resale date of cancelled Glastonbury tickets to be announced “soon”
March 1st, 2010The date of the much anticipated Glastonbury ticket resale will be announced soon, according to the Glastonbury Festival Twitter account.
After announcing earlier today that the deadline for paying ticket balances had been extended 48 hours from midnight last night until 23:59 on Tuesday 2nd March, they were asked by someone on Twitter when the resale date would be, they replied “Yes, we’ll be announcing the resale date soon”.
It is also possible that more tickets will be available after the soon to be announced resale date due to ticket buyers having until 7th May to cancel. When this happened last year, tickets went on sale unannounced as and when they became available.
To be able to purchase a Glastonbury Festival 2010 ticket, you will need to preregister on the ticket registration site.
The only place a Glastonbury Festival ticket can legitimately be purchased from is SeeTickets. Anywhere else claiming to offer Glastonbury tickets for sale is unauthorised and you risk having your ticket confiscated from you if you attempt to use it to gain entry to the festival. When the tickets go on resale, you’ll be able to purchase them from the SeeTickets Glastonbury page.

February 1st, 2010This year’s line-up is “pretty much finalised”, according to Emily Eavis.
She told Radio1 Newsbeat “We’re pretty much sewn up now. We’re still confirming the Sunday night headliner.

Glastonbury applies to change licence to run until 2016
January 12th, 2010Glastonbury Festival organisers are seeking to change their licence to allow them to open the car parks on Tuesday each year rather than Wednesday as it is at present.

Dizzee Rascal a “given” for Glastonbury 2010
January 4th, 2010In an interview with Lauren Laverne on 6Music, Emily Eavis strongly hinted that Dizzee Rascal and Bodger & Badger will be performing at Glastonbury this year. When asked about Dizzee, she said “We’ve gotta have Dizzee, I think that’s a given.”.
Laverne also asked Eavis about other acts who are rumoured to be playing, though she declined to comment except for Green Day who she said will not be attending this year.
“A lot of bands really want to play but because we’ve only got three nights to headline, I think a lot of people are going to be doing secret sets. There will be a lot of surprises, more than we’ve ever had.
“It’s really interesting booking it because a lot of bands are saying, ‘We really want to do it but how about we open the Pyramid Stage rather than close it?’ And it’s like, ‘That’s a good idea’. There’s quite a lot of stuff going around, so that’s exciting,” she said.
You can listen to the full interview on BBC iPlayer until 1PM 11th Jan here (starts 42:10)
See our Glastonbury line-up page for details of the other acts playing this year, and visit the Glastonbury Forum for the latest line-up rumours and gossip.
