resale date announced for Glastonbury Festival tickets

The resale date of cancelled/refunded tickets for this year's Glastonbury Festival tickets has been announced as 9am on Sunday 17th April.

Tickets will be sold online at http://www.seetickets.com/g2011 and via the Seetickets booking line 0844 412 4635. The number of tickets available is expected to be quite limited, because these are returns, not a second batch. Tickets will be limited to four per transaction, and only available to those who have registered beforehand will be eligible to buy a ticket.

Anyone aged 13 or over (when the Festival starts) who wishes to buy a ticket must be registered. Registration involves providing contact details, a valid e-mail address, and a passport standard photo.

In order to purchase tickets in the re-sale, you must be successfully registered by Friday, 8th April. Registration will then close until after the resale. Online registration can be carried out by clicking here.

Those already registered can check their details by visiting http://seetickets.com/see/getglas as soon as possible (this link will also close before the resale).

As well as standard Festival tickets (costing £195 + £5 booking fee), there will be a number of Combined Coach and Festival Tickets on sale. These tickets include either single or return coach tickets from a range of locations around the UK.

Travelling to the Festival by coach helps substantially to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions produced by Glastonbury - as audience transport actually contributes to two thirds of the Festival's total emissions. Traveling by coach also reduces the number of cars on the road which means less traffic queuing to enter the site and less CO2 emissions from cars in slow traffic approaching the site.

This year, for the first time, ticket holders who arrive at the Festival by public transport or bicycle will be given a Green Traveller lanyard, offering discount meal vouchers, exclusive solar showers, access to compost toilets and a discount on a Festival T-shirt.

Festival organisers have strived to make this year's coach packages as affordable as possible, with all fares lower than 2010 rates. The full timetable and price list for these tickets is shown on the official site, here, (the price will be added to the cost of the ticket in the combined packages).

Tickets have sold out for this summer's Glastonbury Festival which runs for five full days from Wednesday 22nd until Sunday 26th June 2011 across a 1000 hectares (2470 acres) of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset.

UK ticket balances will be payable in the first week of April 2011 from 9am Friday 1st April until 11.59pm on Thursday 7th April with balances either paid online at http://www.seetickets.com/g2011 or on the booking line: 0844 412 4635.

Anyone who doesn't pay their ticket balance during the applicable week will be automatically refunded their deposit (minus a £10 admin fee).

Acts confirmed for the Festival include U2, Coldplay, and Beyonce as Pyramid Stage headliners, plus Primal Scream, Mumford & Sons, Elbow, Everything Everything, Anna Calvi, BB King, Big Boi, The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Castles, Friendly Fires, Fleet Foxes, Gruff Rhys, James Blake, Janelle Monae, Laura Marling, and Warpaint. No other acts are confirmed yet for the Festival, although as usual eFestivals will bring you the very best-sourced rumours, allowing festival-goers to see who is playing long before the bands are formally announced - keep your eyes on the Glastonbury 2011 rumours, updated as we receive information.

The window for International ticket buyers to pay their balances has now ended.
