Glastonbury Festival 2027 coach tickets oversold in admin error

For some the news is welcome, as it provides more flexibility with travel arrangements.

Glastonbury Festival requires those who bought a coach ticket to to board their designated coach for the initial journey to the festival, or entry could be denied.

It is part of the festival’s Green Travel Initiatives, external, where they encourage revellers to use public transportation in a bid to reduce the environmental impact.

Laura Brooks, based in Birmingham, says she and her friends bought the coach package because “we had failed so often getting [general admission] tickets”.

She had planned to meet them in London to travel to Somerset together, but can now arrange simpler and shorter journeys from their own respective homes.

“I don’t mind the admin error, they’re clearly dealing with it sooner than later. These things happen,” she said.

“I’m just glad we’ve not lost our tickets altogether.”
