Emily Eavis speaks out on Glastonbury 2023 ticket price increase

nme.com:

Glastonbury ticket price increase in a new post on social media.Earlier today, it was revealed that tickets for next year’s event will cost £335 plus a £5 booking fee – an increase of £55.

In 2022, the tickets cost £280 plus a £5 booking fee. When the tickets originally went on sale in 2020 they were priced at £265, but the cancellation of the festival plus inflation led to an increase.Now, in a statement, Eavis addressed the rise, writing: “I wanted to post about the 2023 Glastonbury ticket price which was announced today.

We have tried very hard to minimise the increase in price on the ticket but we’re facing enormous rises in the costs of running this vast show, while still recovering from the huge financial impact of two years without a festival because of COVID.”Eavis continued: “The £50 deposit on ticket sales day in November will be the same as ever, the balance not due until April.

And, as always, there will be opportunities for many thousands of people to come as volunteers or as part of the crew.“In these incredibly challenging times, we want to continue to bring you the best show in the world and provide our charities with funds which are more vital than ever.
