Glastonbury tickets on sale

**Angela** · 01-04-2007, 09:58

Tickets for the largest ever Glastonbury Festival went on sale at 0900 BST on Sunday.

A total of 395,000 people have pre-registered their details for the new ticket system, which was introduced to stop touts buying up tickets. Every ticket will bear the name and photo of the person who bought it, and can only be purchased if a reference number is produced. Anyone wishing to purchase a ticket can only do so via a dedicated telephone line or through the website.

The 177,000 capacity event takes place in Somerset from 22-24 June. The Arctic Monkeys, Dame Shirley Bassey and The Who will all perform at the festival, but the full line-up will not be released until June.

Tickets will cost £145, with a £5 handling charge per ticket and £4 delivery charge per transaction, with fans able to buy up to four each. As in previous years, tickets can only be bought using debit cards, because organisers think allowing credit cards makes it easier for touts to purchase multiple tickets.

Over the years, Mr Eavis - who has run the event since its inception in 1970 - has massively increased investment into preventing gate-crashers and drug dealers entering the site. In 2005, when the last Glastonbury Festival took place, tickets sold out in less than three hours - a record in the event's history.

Earlier this week Mendip District Council in Somerset approved a four-year licence deal, securing the festival's future until 2010.

Always wanted to go to Glastonbury, but I hate tents

I did think of hiring an American Mobile home thingy, but I was told that wasn't in the spirit of the event

Park it outside against the fence and stand on the roof

Or hire out the toilet to the crow and make a profit...I believe the toilet facilities at Glastonbury leave a lot to be desired.
