Glastonbury 2025: Where to get resale tickets as UK Government set to clamp down on price gouging

• Glastonbury Festival resale tickets are once again being discussed as we start the countdown to the Worthy Farm event.
• With news that the UK Government are set to crackdown on price hikes on the secondary market, there is also talk of investigating the controversial ‘dynamic pricing’ model many fans had to contend with throughout 2024.
• Here’s how you can safely pick up Glastonbury Festival 2025 tickets on the secondary market, along with other options to attend this year’s huge summer party

The discussion around ticket reselling has started once again ahead of Glastonbury Festival resales set to take place around Spring 2025.

The UK Government have announced plans to stop price gouging on the secondary market as part of their ‘Plan For Change’ initiative, with a public consultation also set to take place throughout the year to address issues including ‘dynamic pricing’ models and more accountability for ticket resellers which aligns with Trading Standards and the Competition and Market Authority “for the accuracy of information they provide to fans."

That shouldn’t be an issue with Glastonbury Festival tickets, with organisers confirming that there is only one ticketing outlet that will be offering officials resale tickets in the event those can no longer afford any payment plans used to pay off the tickets or those returned due to festival attendees no longer able to head to Worthy Farm this year.

So where are you suggested to look for resale tickets for this year’s festival, and what other options are there to attend Glastonbury Festival 2025 if you’re looking for an alternative means to attend this year’s event?

Where should I look for Glastonbury Festival 2025 tickets on resale?

Honestly - and it’s not the best answer to give for an immediate resolution, but definitely the safest - is to wait.

Around April time each year, a series of tickets from Glastonbury Festival will go for sale accounting for those who have had to cancel their tickets or who didn’t pay the final instalment of their payment plan. 

In which case, those tickets will go up for sale once again through See Tickets for your chance to pick up one of those tickets from those unfortunate that can no longer go. The situation regarding queuing and everything else still applies.

But what you should not do is head out to other third-party resellers - including eBay - to pick up tickets. 

Why should I avoid third-party reseller websites?

The chances of being ‘scammed’ through a third-party reseller still remains a threat, despite continued discussions surrounding how not to get scammed out of a concert ticket. 

That’s due to the security measures that the organisers of the festival have put in place, including the requirement for photo ID when arriving at the festival site to determine that you are the person who bought the tickets; should someone else have bought the tickets to resell and you don’t remotely look like them chances are you’re in for a bad festival experience. 

Is there any other way to attend Glastonbury Festival 2025?

Asides from giveaways on the radio or online that usually surface closer to the festival’s launch, there is another way. Have you considered volunteering for the festival?

There are a number of charitable organisations that are looking for volunteers to help with their on-site facilities during Glastonbury Festival 2025, including Oxfam, Water Aid, Festaff and Greenpeace who, in exchange for a few shifts, will allow you the chance to attend the festival.

Just be respectful - if you think you are the first person to volunteer and then decide not to help out after arriving, don’t ruin the opportunity for other people. You’re not the first to try this and you won’t be the last - sadly.
