Glastonbury Fans Outraged as 2025 Tickets Go on Sale
Festival-goers Express Dismay Over 'Ridiculous' Prices
Music lovers have expressed outrage over the "ridiculous" prices of tickets for the 2025 Glastonbury Festival. Tickets went on sale on Thursday, November 3, with standard tickets costing £335 plus a £5 booking fee.
This represents a significant increase from the £280 price tag for 2022 tickets. Fans have taken to social media to vent their anger, with many vowing to boycott the event.
'Taking the Mick'
"This is an absolute disgrace," wrote one fan on Twitter. "Glastonbury has always been a festival for the people, but now it's just become a playground for the rich."
Another added: "I've been going to Glastonbury for over 20 years, but there's no way I'm paying these ridiculous prices. The festival has lost its soul."
Rising Costs
Glastonbury organizers have defended the price hike, citing rising costs of staging the event. The festival has seen a significant increase in its operating expenses in recent years, including the cost of security, infrastructure, and artist fees.
However, fans argue that the price increase is excessive and will make the festival inaccessible to many people.
'A Sad Day'
"It's a sad day for Glastonbury," said one fan. "It's supposed to be a festival for everyone, but now it's only for those who can afford it.
The backlash against the ticket prices is likely to put pressure on Glastonbury organizers to reconsider their pricing strategy. It remains to be seen whether they will reduce the cost of tickets or offer more affordable options for fans.
