Glastonbury Tickets To Go On Sale In October

The Glastonbury Festival is once again getting a good jump on the 2009 summer concert festival landscape by offering first-com, first-serve ticket sales beginning in the first week of October 2008. Possibly one of the most anticipated music gatherings of the year, there is always a battle to get tickets to this monster party.

 

Despite having found huge success with this year’s big acts, including controversial act Jay-Z, Glastonbury co-founder Michael Eavis has stated he will not try to book another “controversial” act for next year’s headlining spot. In a recent statement to BBC News, Eavis said that he would book more traditional acts in order to ease the stress of the event. Apparently ticket sales were sluggish in the beginning and it weighed heavily on the people behind the scenes.
