Glastonbury 2014: Technical problems delay ticket sales

Organisers say the sale of the remaining 120,000 tickets for next year's Glastonbury sold out in record time.

It's after the ticket provider See Tickets posted on twitter to apologise, saying they were having "technical issues".

People initially struggled to get through to the ticket website.

An update later said "after a difficult half an hour, we've stabilised and are processing orders".

The tickets went on sale at 9am 6 October, three days after 15,000 coach and ticket packages sold out within half an hour.

Organiser Emily Eavis later thanked people for their patience before announcing that all tickets had sold out in a record time of one hour and 27 minutes.

Last month, festival organiser Michael Eavis said they won't beat this year's festival.

In a statement today, he and his daughter Emily said they were sorry to all those that missed out on a place.

"We have, once again, been blown away by the numbers of people who were hoping to join us at the festival", they said.

"We genuinely try to make the ticket system as fair as it can be".

Prices for the 2014 event have been increased to £210 plus a booking fee.

The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford and Sons headlined the event at Worthy Farm this summer.

He added: "[It's] downhill all the way now. I've had 44 years of an incredible career and we're still milking the old cows as well."

When asked about who would be headlining Glastonbury in 2014 Michael Eavis said people wouldn't be surprised.

"Pretty obvious isn't it?" he said. "There aren't many left. It's the process of elimination isn't it?

"I think we've got three or four really good ones lined up for next year and we're sorting out 2015 as well."

There is speculation about who will play at Worthy Farm between 26 and 29 June next year.

David Bowie is one of the bookies' favourites to headline, an Oasis reunion and a set from Foo Fighters have also been rumoured.
