The first chance to buy tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2025 will take place later, with coach packages going on sale at 18:00 GMT.
The festival will take place from 25 to 29 June 2025 at Worthy Farm, Somerset, before a fallow year in 2026.
Coach tickets will be available to buy at 18:00 GMT on Thursday, before general admission tickets go on sale on Sunday 17 November at 09:00 GMT.
Coaches will depart from 28 locations across the country including Bath, Bristol, Swindon and Taunton.
Customers purchasing coach fares will pay for a festival ticket costing £373.50 and a £5 booking fee, as well as the cost of a return or single coach fare ranging from £47 to £160 depending on location.
The deposit – the amount customers pay to secure their ticket – is £75.
“You may book up to 6 coach tickets per transaction,” the festival website says.
“When booking a ticket + coach travel option you will need to pay the deposit plus full coach fare, with the Festival ticket balance due in the first week of April 2025."
It comes as festival organisers announced last week a huge change to its ticket booking process, with the introduction of an automatic queue system.
The change means that fans will have to be online before ticket sales begin on 14 and 17 November.
Rather than refreshing a holding page, they will be "randomly assigned a place in the queue" once tickets are available.
The headliners for next year's festival have not yet been confirmed.
Headliners for the 2024 festival were Dua Lipa, Coldplay and Sza, with other stand out performances including Shania Twain and Avril Lavigne.
All customers hoping to secure a ticket to next year’s festival must have already registered.
Organisers say customers who do not manage to secure a ticket in November will have a chance to buy a ticket in the spring resale.
