The return of Glastonbury Festival in 2027 brings a new ticket price record. Organisers confirmed on 8 September that standard general admission tickets for the festival, taking place between 23–27 June 2027, will cost £408. This figure includes a £5 booking fee, but excludes postage costs.
Sales for coach + ticket packages will begin at 18:00 UK time on 1 October, while standard tickets will go on sale at 09:00 on 4 October. Tickets are strictly personalised and non-transferable. Each ticket features a photograph of the registered purchaser, and identity checks are carried out at the gates.

From a business perspective, crossing the £400 price threshold represents an important signal for the European festival market. Pricing for premium events continues to rise, while Glastonbury tackles the secondary ticketing market through a robust personalised ticketing system. This serves concurrently as a case study in ticketing, fraud prevention and customer identification.
