THIS BLOG HAS NOW FINISHED.

The moment is finally here.

At 6pm this evening (October 4), the first batch of tickets for the 2019 Glastonbury Festival will go on sale.

There is expected to be a considerable demand due the event taking a fallow year in 2018, with Worthy Farm being given time to recover.

We will be bringing you the latest reaction as the clamour begins.

Live updates from before, during, and after the sale will appear below.

So, how do you get tickets?

To book a combined coach and festival ticket package, you will need the need the registration number and registered postcode for each person (up to 6 per transaction) for whom you are booking.

You will then be asked to choose a departure town and day and will have to pay a £50 deposit per person, along with the coach ticket fare.

General admission tickets go on sale at 9am on Sunday (October 7) and are usually gone within 50 minutes.
