Second chance to snap up Glastonbury tickets

Music fans who missed out on tickets for this year’s Glastonbury Festival will get a second chance today.

Organisers are selling thousands of returned tickets for the event, which returns after a year’s absence to Worthy Farm, in Pilton, Somerset, England.

Fans snapped up 137,500 tickets in less than two hours when they went on sale earlier this month.

An extra 27,500 revellers were able to get their hands on the tickets this year after organisers won approval to boost the capacity to a record 177,000.

But it did little to satisfy the huge demand for the festival, as hundreds of thousands of revellers were left disappointed after missing out on the £145 tickets.

They will however get a second chance from 9am today when the cancelled tickets go back on sale, via a booking phone line.

Organiser Michael Eavis previously said up to 20,000 tickets could be up for grabs, but the exact numbers available have not been specified.

Only people who pre-registered for the festival will be able to buy a ticket.

The Arctic Monkeys, the Killers, The Who, Kaiser Chiefs, the Kooks and Shirley Bassey will all play at the festival, which runs from June 22-24.
