I got into Glastonbury for FREE without breaking any rules – here's how you can do it too | The Sun
A FESTIVAL reveller has revealed how she got into Glastonbury without paying for a ticket – and says others can do the same.
Highly sought after tickets for this weekend's festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset set back music lovers £335, without the added cost of food and drinks.
Hundreds of thousands of people will attend the world-famous event across three days to watch live performances from the likes of headliners Arctic Monkeys, Elton John and Guns N' Roses.
But not everyone in attendance will have parted ways with their money to experience the festival this year.
My London's Ellen Jenne has told of how she is attending the festival this year, and has done so on multiple other occasions, without spending a penny – and says others can do the same.
She has also been able to attend Boardmasters and Reading Festival for free.

Ellen will camp in a private field with its own toilets and showers, while also indulging on catered food and making use of a separate and quieter car park.
She is doing this by volunteering as a steward for Oxfam.
The charity is one of the partners of Glastonbury along with WaterAid, Greenpeace and Shelter and requires volunteers to support staff working at the festival's gates for vendors and attendees.
Ellen paid a refundable deposit, the same price as tickets, which gives her the opportunity to attend up to 16 festivals across a single summer.

She described the sign-up process as similarly "painstaking" to those queuing virtually to get Glastonbury tickets, but she has recalled how she was first able to attend the event for free in 2016.
Following her shifts in 2016, Ellen was also then given priority access to volunteer at the festival again the following year.
Having received her place along with a friend, Ellen was asked if she would consider "pre-festival" shifts, meaning she had to attend the event five days prior to its commencement.
But this also meant her shifts were finished by Tuesday and she was able to enjoy the entire three days of music and other performances for free.
Her workers wristband allows her entry into a crew bars and avoid having to queue for drinks.
Attending Glastonbury for a fourth time this year, she has encouraged others to pursue the money-saving alternative to forking out hundreds of pounds to attend the hugely popular event.
