• When is Glastonbury Festival?

Glastonbury 2010 takes place Wednesday 23rd of June – Sunday 27th of June 2010
Normally, every 5th year is a fallow year, but due to the Olympics, the fallow year has been moved from 2011 to 2012, so the dates for the 2011 festival are:
Wednesday 22nd of June – Sunday 26th of June.

The gates will open at 8am on the Wednesday and close at 5pm on the Monday immediately after the festival.

Glasto.biz reccommends planning your journey carefully, although the music does not start until the Friday of the festival, the best camping spots fill up quickly.

• Where do I register for a ticket?

Please make your registration with SeeTickets via their Glastonbury Registration Website
You will need to provide a passport photo of yourself at time of registration.

• I’ve registered for a previous festival. Am I still registered?

Possibly. There is a box at the end of the registration form that if you had checked it, your registration details will have been saved.
For those that registered in 2008 and checked the box, your registration number is vaild for the 2010 festival.
For those that registered in 2009 and checked the box, your registration number is vaild for the 2010 & the 2011 festival.

• How much will tickets cost?

Tickets cost £185 + £5 Booking Fee + £4.95 Postage (so, that’s £194.95)

Following its successful introduction last year, our deposit scheme will once again be in place, giving customers the option of paying a deposit of £50 to reserve a ticket, with the full balance due by the
closing date of February 28 2010. Or, you can buy the full ticket outright from 4th October.

Car parking tickets will be available as well as Coach and Train packages.

• That’s really expensive, is it worth it?

Hell Yeah! You can expect to pay around the same amount for Reading & Leeds festivals (after the early bird tickets). They have less stages, are not child friendly, don’t allow you to take your own drink into the arenas, have banned flags from the arenas…

Glastonbury Festival doesn’t charge you extra for camping (an extra fee is payable for camper vans), doesn’t charge you extra to arrive early (everyone can arrive from 8am on the Wednesday), has a specific kids area and family camping and is generally said to have a far nicer atmosphere.

Glastonbury Festival is the UK’s biggest music festival, it is attended by people from around the World because of it’s reputation. If you’ve been to other festivals and not Glastonbury, then be prepared for the sheer size of the festival. It’s impossible to take it all in during the weekend (I’ve been 5 times and still have not been everywhere!)

Plus, how many gigs would you go to after paying £200, maybe 7 or 8. You’ll see many more than that for sure.

• When will the lineup be announced?

Surprisingly, not until May or June 2010 (after all the ticket sale dates). Some band names do get leaked before this date, including main headliners.
As soon as we get any info on bands, Glasto.biz will let you know.
