Anyone looking to into the music event of the summer, set to take place from Wednesday 21st June to Sunday 25th June next year on its traditional site of Worthy Farm, in Somerset, must have a registration number.

Once this crucial step is complete, festival fans can start preparing for the big rush on tickets, which go on sale on November 3. 

Here, FEMAIL outlines where you can register, and what you can expect later as music lovers gear up for the event, which earlier this year saw incredible headliners including Diana Ross, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar.

How to register?

Anyone who wishes to purchase a ticket needs to register – although this doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get one. Registration is free of charge on the festival’s website – glastonburyfestivals.co.uk – and will close today, at 5pm GMT.

If you have already registered with the festival you don’t need to do this again, but the site recommends updating your photo if it’s no longer a good representation of you.

To register, you’ll need to send a passport-style photo, which will be vetted by Glastonbury, and can be refused if they feel it is not appropriate. This is why it is recommended to have this completed well ahead of ticket sales, to ensure everything is in order.

Every person you may wish to book tickets for needs a registration number. Children 12 and younger at the time of Glastonbury can get in for free and don’t need a ticket, or to be registered.

What happens next?

Tickets plus coach travel will go live at 6pm GMT, November 3 and general admission tickets will go on sale at 9am GMT on November 6.

When the ticket sale goes live, the Glastonbury website can be overwhelmed by traffic, which makes it slightly temperamental. It will help if you know exactly which tickets you want, and have all the details ready. 

To book tickets, you need your registration number and registered postcode for each person on hand, alongside a debit or credit card with which you can make the  transaction. 

Tickets will be sold exclusively at glastonbury.seetickets.com.

The festival site says that if you see a ‘reduced’ version of the See Tickets site – with a ‘minimal version of the holding page’ – don’t panic! This doesn’t mean the site has crashed, but rather that its serving the maximum people it can at the time.

What are the different types of tickets, and how much are they? 

The coach tickets – which offer options for travel to and from different locations in a bid to make festival commuting greener – include a £50 deposit plus the price of the coach trip, which differs based on the place.  

Bath, Glasgow, Leeds, Oxford, Taunton and York are just some of the several cities listed. It is only possible to book tickets from one departure town in a single transaction. 

People who buy their tickets via the coach will have to get on the coach to receive the all-important festival entry tickets. 

Meanwhile general admission tickets will cost £335, plus a £5 booking fee. The hefty sum will provide revelers with entry to the festival, five nights of camping and a selection of freebies including mobile charging, firewood, and a programmed among others amenities. 

For both ticket types, the ticket balance is due in the first week of April 2023. 

How many tickets can be booked at a time? 

Many people will want to attend with friends, with each member of the group trying to nab as many tickets as possible. 

Glastonbury has limited the number of tickets to six per party, and they are made personal to each of the attendees to make re-sale impossible. 

When will resale tickets be available? 

Resale tickets will be available in Spring, according to the Glastonbury website.

Can you get in for free?

Glastonbury tickets don’t come cheap, and they’re more expensive than ever in 2023 – but it is possible to get in for free. 

Each year, Glastonbury recruits people to help out on the administrative side of things, and a few roles are available to grab, which is perfect if you have the time. 

On the ground jobs are also going, such as security, chaperones, tractor drivers, and more. 

The different job listings appear occasionally on the Glastonbury website, so revisiting in the months before the big weekend might be a good way to nab a spot on a whim. 

If you are already employed and understandably don’t want to quit your job for Glastonbury, there are other ways to get there.

The festival is always looking for people to volunteer to pick the litter revelers leave behind, pictured – and three eight-hour shifts will get your ticket refunded

Each year, hundreds of festival goers earn their ticket by offering to volunteer on the site, mainly taking on the mammoth task of cleaning up Worthy farm and picking up the litter throughout the festival and once it’s over. 

People who are recruited by the festival usually do have to pay for their ticket upfront, however, they will be refunded after completing three eight-hour shifts.  

Litter-picker Amanda Ayers told Metro: ‘After we finish our shift at about midday, we’re completely free to do whatever we want. 

‘We don’t miss any of the music at all and we can still see all the headliners, as most of the stages open between 11.30am and midday. We can stay up as late as we like and enjoy what’s around – as long as we can get up on time for our 6am shift start,’ she added.

You can also apply with independent organisations to be a camp steward or site warden for the people who are staying at the festival site. 

However, these wardens might be asked to take on either night or day shifts, which means you might miss some of the onstage action. 

Some charities, such as Oxfam, Shelter, WaterAid and the Samaritans offer some spots to work at the festival as well.  Some charities also offer the chance to work at Glastonbury, such as Oxfam, Shelter (which runs a bar), WaterAid and the Samaritans, which has a Festival Branch.
