Glastonbury Tickets To Go On Sale In High Street Shops

The final tickets for this years Glastonbury Festival are to go on sale over the counter at HMV stores across the United Kingdom.

Fans will be able to purchase tickets in seven cities, including London, Cardiff and Manchester later this week.

Until now the tickets had only been available online, with music fans having to pre-register and provide photo ID in order to buy a ticket.

Organiser Michael Eavis said the festival had taken the decision in order to “make it as easy as possible for people to buy the last few festival tickets."

Tickets will be available at the stores from June 11th. For all the latest information on this years Festivals, check out our Festival Guide.

Oh, and you can now book with credit and debit cards. Looks like the pain in the arse booking system has turned round and bitten Eavis on the arse now. About bloody time.

those who wanted a ticket will have got one by now, so those left can go to whoever!!! Eavis did right!! If there had been no pre-registration then they would all be in the hands of the touts at inflated prices!! The reason tickets are left is because of the past weather!!!!! NOT J-Z and NOT due to pre-reg!!!!I can’t wait!!! Glasto’’ beats any other festival and always will:ALWAYS!!!!!!!
