Music fans fuming as Glastonbury tickets sell out within an hour despite 'technical problem'
Music fans have spoken of being "devastated" after missing out on Glastonbury tickets which sold out within just an hour for the 2023 music festival. In a morning which was described as "carnage" by fans aiming to book tickets online, thousands were clicking refresh in a bid to get their hands on the tickets - which have increased in price to £340 for next year's return.
It added, which may give a slight glimmer of hope to fans: "There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2023." The swift sell out left fans hoping to secure tickets "fuming" and "devastated". Many took to Twitter to describe their frustration that having got to the final screen on the See Tickets page, only to be "kicked out" and having to restart the process again.
Sharing the holding page image, @LennonyFresh said: "Worst hour of my life staring at this. 1 device the whole time, fast internet and still, nothing." See Tickets apologised to those who missed out or experienced problems on Sunday. In a statement on Twitter it said: "Tickets for @Glastonbury Festival 2023 are now SOLD OUT. Confirmation emails are going out now. Congratulations to everyone who got tickets this morning. We're sorry to those who missed out or had issues trying to book."
On Twitter, @Niaccurshi said: "It always exceeds supply. Begs the question as to when you're going to as an organisation do the ethical thing and move to system that doesn't create a lottery via hardware limitation. You already have a lottery based system here, but one that wastes people's time and emotion."
