Glastonbury tickets 2023 - live updates: Coaches sold out in 22 minutes
Glastonbury fans are preparing for the second set of tickets for the 2023 festival to go on sale.
The music festival returns to Worthy Farm next summer from Wednesday 21 June to Sunday 25 June.
The first round of tickets, which included coach travel, went at 6pm on Thursday (3 November). They sold out in 22 minutes, with many prospective punters reporting that the website didn’t load for them at all.
The remaining Glastonbury tickets will be released on Sunday 6 November at 9am. You must already have registered for tickets to be able to purchase them.
Only tickets bought via SeeTickets will be valid at the festival.
Glastonbury is known for being one of the toughest festivals to get tickets for, with tickets expected to sell out in less than an hour once again.

Buying a Glasto ticket can feel a bit risky – after all, you’re splashing the cash without knowing who’ll be playing (although you can guarantee there’ll be something for everyone).
Reports today have suggested that Rihanna could be returning for the festival, but we’ll have to wait and see!

How much do Glastonbury 2023 tickets cost?
12:15 , Isobel Lewis
Glastonbury 2023 will be the most expensive yet, with tickets costing an eye-watering £335 plus a £5 booking fee.
The last time Glastonbury tickets went on general sale was in 2019, when a standard ticket cost £265 plus a £5 booking fee.
Emily Eavis has explained why prices have risen so much, but it still makes Glastonbury one very expensive festival.
At least the good people on Twitter have seen the funny side...

Coach tickets sold out in less than 30 minutes this year – 22 minutes, to be precise!
The last time coach tickets went that quickly was for the 2017 festival! In 2019, they sold out in 29 minutes and in 2020, they went in 27 minutes.
Here’s hoping that, with more tickets up for grabs on Sunday, they stick around a little longer...
