The first batch of tickets for Glastonbury 2016 have already sold out.

Music fans' annual struggle to get to Worthy Farm has started, with 15,000 coach and ticket packages going up for grabs on Thursday night.

Predictably, they all went pretty much instantly but standard tickets will go on sale at 9am on 4 October. That's Sunday, so set your alarms.

Last year's festival sold out quicker than ever, with 120,000 tickets going in just 26 minutes.

The ticket price for 2016 has gone up to £228 - plus a £5 booking fee. As usual, children aged 12 and under go for free.

There will be a resale for any unwanted tickets, or any which haven't been paid for, nearer the festival which is on from 22-26 June.

This year's festival was headlined by Kanye West, The Who and Florence and the Machine who stepped in for Foo Fighters after frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg.

The line-up is yet to be announced but last month festival organiser Michael Eavis told Newsbeat that they have booked headliners for the next two years.

He said four of the acts have headlined before, while two of the acts booked will top the bill for the first time.

Eavis also told us that the festival will not be taking a year off in 2017 as planned.

Instead, there will be no Glastonbury in 2018.
