Music and caravan enthusiasts snapped up a limited number of tickets released yesterday (October 26th) for next year’s Glastonbury festival.
According to efestivals.com, passes for the five-day event, which is one of the country’s largest celebrations of music and culture, were not on sale for long.
Taking place from Wednesday June 23rd 2010, the festival will welcome thousands of revellers – many of whom will stay in caravans and tents.
Weekend tickets went on sale for £185 plus £5 booking fee and £4.95 postage but quickly sold out, with next year marking the event’s 40th anniversary at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Recent headliners include Muse, Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Blur and Neil Young.
However, when the festival first opened its gates in 1970, the line-up was somewhat different, with T.Rex, Keith Christmas and Al Stewart on the bill.
The festival’s opening year was tinged with sadness as attendees made the trip knowing that music legend Jimi Hendrix had passed away the previous evening.
