Thinking ahead to 2011 yet? It’s a good idea, if you want to go to any of the bigger, more popular festivals next season, as early bird tickets for many of the favourite events are already on sale.
In a new move by the organisers, it’s soon going to be possible to book next year’s Glastonbury as well (a Godsend for those of us who have to book holidays from work to attend and if you’re planning on taking kids out of school for the festival, it’s good to get requests in early too).
Tickets for Glastonbury 2011 go on sale at 9am on Sunday, October 3rd, costing £195 plus £5 booking fee and P&P.
You will be able to book up to eight tickets per transaction by paying a £50 deposit per person, either online at www.seetickets.com/g2011 or on the booking line: 0844 412 4635. You will need the registration number and postcode for each person for whom you are booking a ticket.
There will then be no further UK payments taken until the booking site re-opens on April 1st 2011, when you will have a week to pay your balance of £145 per ticket, and to book everything else you might need (tipis, campervan tickets, parking, insurance). To clarify – it will not be possible to pay for a ticket in full in October, when only deposits will be taken.
Organisers say: “This extension to our deposit scheme will allow people more time to save for their tickets, knowing that they have a secured booking. It will also help the festival to reduce costs, allowing us to give more to our joint charities.”
Please note, the balance payment window for international buyers will be for one week from February 25th to March 3rd 2011. Anyone who decides not to pay their balance in 2011 will be refunded their deposit, minus a £10 administration fee. Those tickets will then be put forward to a re-sale, which is likely to be in April or May 2011.
But don’t forget – you need to be registered to buy a ticket. To register to buy a ticket for Glastonbury 2011,
