Glastonbury Festival 2027 coach tickets have been oversold due to an “administrative error,” organisers have confirmed. The coach package tickets went on sale on Thursday, October 1, and sold out in just 30 minutes.
What happened with the coach tickets
More coach package tickets were sold for certain departures than there are seats available, according to an email See Tickets sent to customers. The UK’s biggest music festival returns next year from June 23 to 27, after taking a fallow year in 2026 for the ground to recover.
General admission tickets went on sale three days after the coach tickets and sold out entirely in 45 minutes.
How affected ticket holders are protected
The festival has confirmed that coach ticket holders will not lose their spot at Worthy Farm next year. Instead, the bookings will be automatically converted to general admission tickets, with the cost of the coach tickets refunded.
Those affected will have until October 31 to opt to keep their coach tickets. If they do not, their booking will be converted and refunds will be issued to the original payment card.
Details on refunds and next steps
Coach ticket prices range from £26 to £185, depending on the departure town or city and whether it is a single or return journey. See Tickets said that the error would not affect customers’ festival deposits, and that they would be able to pay the remaining balance for their tickets as standard in April.
The company added that it is “looking forward to welcoming you to the festival in June.” Some fans said the mixup would actually come as good news to some Glastonbury ticket holders, who were no longer bound by catching a specific coach to get to Worthy Farm.
If you purchased a coach ticket, you are required to board your designated coach for the initial journey to the festival. If you miss your coach, you risk being denied entry. Your festival tickets are given to you on the coach. The Standard has contacted Glastonbury and See Tickets for comment.
