Glastonbury 2027: coach tickets oversold in admin error
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
See Tickets has confirmed that an administrative error led to more coach packages being sold for Glastonbury 2027 than there are seats available. Affected customers will keep their festival tickets, but their bookings will be changed to general admission and their coach fare refunded unless they choose to retain a coach seat.
Customers must opt in by 31 October to keep their coach booking; deposits are unaffected and remaining balances are due in April as usual. The festival runs from 23 to 27 June 2027 after a fallow year, with general admission tickets costing £408 including the booking fee, and a resale is expected in spring.

Explained simply
Glastonbury is a large music and performing arts festival held at Worthy Farm in Somerset. It takes place most years, with occasional fallow years when the site is rested; the 2027 event is scheduled for 23 to 27 June after a break in 2026.
Tickets are sold as general admission or in packages that include travel by coach. See Tickets handles ticket sales, while the festival organisers set the event arrangements. Coach packages can help visitors travel to the site, where transport and access are part of planning a large festival visit.
The issue concerns a mismatch between the number of coach packages sold and the seats available. It matters to ticket holders because their festival entry remains valid, but their travel booking and refund arrangements may change.
