Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis believes the festivals ticketing system is now the fairest “operation available anywhere.”
Tickets for the 2009 edition of the event – which takes place from June 26th-28th – go on sale on October 5th.
The system allows registered applicants to buy a full weekend ticket for the festival – priced at £175 – or reserve one for £50.
Unlike previous years, people will have the option to buy as many tickets as they wish, as long as they are matched to specific registration numbers.
Speaking to the BBC, Eavis said: "With the new scheme, backed by the all-important registration process, everyone has an equal chance of getting a ticket.
"And most importantly, every ticket will be going to a genuine festival-goer direct.
"I'm also convinced that the £50 deposit will help a lot of people to spread the payment for their ticket over a much longer period."
The headliners for next years event are expected to be confirmed over the coming months, but organisers have already said that “it's not Coldplay, it's not U2 and it's not the Rolling Stones."
