Here's everything you need to know about how to be at next year's Glastonbury Festival.

Is Glastonbury Festival happening in 2023?

The festival takes a break once every five years to allow Worthy Farm's fields time to recover.

However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival last took place in 2019, so it is set to go ahead next year - and for a few years after that, too, before another break.

When do Glastonbury 2023 tickets go on sale?

Traditionally, the first round of tickets go on sale in October the year before the festival, with a resale of unwanted tickets in March of the year that it is happening.

Of course, this year was a little different as ticketholders have been waiting to attend since 2020 - although the usual resale went ahead in March.

It's expected that the 2023 festival ticket sale will be back to its usual schedule of beginning in October 2022, although an exact date will be confirmed nearer the time.

How to buy tickets for Glastonbury 2023

If you want a 2023 Glastonbury ticket, you need to get organised.

Competition for tickets is fierce each year and to add to the difficulty, you'll need to pre-register before they go on sale.

At any point in the run-up to tickets being released, you'll need to register on the official Glastonbury website with a picture of yourself at the correct size.

This is to guard against selling on and touts, as your photo will be used for your ticket if you're lucky enough to get one.

Everyone over the age of 13 will also get a registration number that needs to be used to buy tickets, so if you're buying for a group, you'll need everyone's registration number.

Those who have registered in previous years and since 2010 should already have a valid registration number, although registrations from before 2010 have been deleted and you'll also need to ensure your photo still looks like you.

Once tickets go on sale, you'll need to get in quick to secure them, so make sure you're ready and waiting on more than one device for the sale to open to give yourself the best chance of buying tickets.

The balance then has to be paid by the first week in March.

Which ticket type do you need for Glastonbury 2023?

Most people will need to buy a weekend camping ticket for the festival, although there are some local and Sunday-only tickets available for those living near the site.

In previous years, people living nearby have had the chance to buy tickets before the general public by paying a deposit.

There are a number of camping options available, from the main campsite areas which are included in the price of a weekend ticket, to bringing a campervan, hiring one of the on-site tipis or booking the off-site camping area Worthy View.

If you're bringing children, those 12 and under don't need a ticket and won't need to register.
