Glastonbury Registration Re-Opening

Although selling one hundred thousand tickets in the space of a few days is no small order, many have labelled this year's Glastonbury sales as somewhat of a failure. In response to the sluggish take-up, Michael Eavis will be re-opening registration, enabling a new pool of people to get hold of Glasto tickets.

From 16:00 today, fans will be able to submit their personal details and a passport sized photo. Successful applicants will then be able to purchase tickets via a direct link.

Organisers are hoping to sell the 37,000 tickets that remain in short order. "This will give them the chance to see the best line-up of any festival this summer", says Eavis. Many festival-goers are thinking the opposite however, whilst Glastonbury officials blame the run of bad weather for the lack of Glastothusiasm, many instead point to the rather mediocre headliners. The Verve, Kings of Leon and Jay-Z will close out the days of the festival.

Rumours are circulating that Jay-Z is deeply unhappy that his presence is becoming such a point of controversy, and that he is considering pulling out of the festival. Eavis has denied the claims and reasserted that Jay-Z will be headlining and that everything is "fine".

This year's Glastonbury will take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 27th-29th. To register from 4pm onwards today (April 8) go here.
