Less than an hour for Glastonbury Festival sell out despite web issues

Tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival have sold out in less than an hour, as the website selling them struggled under the weight of massive demand.

Many angry music lovers hoping to snap up tickets (including booking fee) from SeeTickets.com were left to stare at a message saying the site was unavailable as the 9am Sunday start time passed.

But despite the problems faced, See Tickets announced at 9.50am that all of the tickets were gone.

Fans who were unable to get on to the sales website took to Twitter to venttheir frustration

On Thursday the coach package batch of tickets sold out in just 23 minutes with a number of fans experiencing website difficulties, and last year 120,000 passes were snapped up in just over half an hour.

Miss Eavis had earlier on Sunday tweeted fans, thanking them for their "patience".

See Tickets added, "Huge demand for @GlastoFest tickets this morning. Tickets selling so do keep trying."If you're trying to book @GlastoFest tickets please stick to one tab/device only."

Those lucky enough to get tickets to the festival in 2016 were treated back in June to performances by Adele, Coldplay, Muse and LCD Soundsystem.

Next year's festival will take place from June 21 to 25, with the line-up not being announced by organisers until spring.
