Beardy Glastonbury man Michael Eavis, pictured, has told fans of the festival that their new ticketing system - the ticket-buyer will need to submit a passport-style photograph of themself - is much fairer than anything done in previous years.
The pre-registration system, which closes on February 28, will stop people selling on their tickets for inflated sums. Says Eavis:
"It means unscrupulous people won't be able to sell their tickets on for a profit. I assure you that your details will not be used for any other purpose."
Those wanting to register should click here and fill in their details. Pre-registration does NOT guarantee you a ticket, which go on sale on April 1 for £150ish.
Organisers are refusing to fully confirm the line-up for this year's festival, which is due to take place from June 22 'til June 24, until tickets are on sale. Acts rumoured/self-confirmed to appear include The Who, Arctic Monkeys and Björk.

i should expect i shall register this evening
which is exciting, and obviously more important than mr divers article.
what else do you want, cunt?
a badge?
i heard
that arcade fire had self confirmed or am i getting confused again?
bf
fucking lame
Glastonbury is shit, and the more uptight they get about tickets and fences, the more shit it becomes.
I'd rather just go to Tapestry...best festival ever
wrong
although you're right about the uptight/shit ascension parallels.
i miss the days you could stroll into selectadisc and pick up a ticket 4 hours after they went on sale with no troubles at all.
I don't
like Glastonbury.
I like Reading
I'm with this guy.
He's on the trolley.
urgh
i hate carling weekends
FUCK SAKE
people moaning about it not being the same is the single most annoying thing in the world. Of course it isnt. It got huge. What are ya gonna do? If they didn't have the fence then they would not get a license and it wouldnt be on anymore.
I liked Banksys "stand here and moan about it not being the same anymore" sign last Glasto.
Twenty years ago it was also full of Yardies and the crime was about 100 times worse.
I just did one of those SUPPRESSED LAUGHS
out loud at work... and nearly spat out my water.
ha ha
that banksey thing is brilliant
everything changes and the tenth time you go ant going to hold the same exitment as the first few
but your right about the crime i nearly got burnt alive in a pastic tent when a
gang of marauding scousers burnt a hole through are air vent and pulled are bags out .... they didnt get anything ..
ohh the good old days ....
still hiking 4 miles and jumping the fence was the best buzz ... times change deal with it
hmmm
hmm...glastonbury will always have that 'its not as good as it used to be' because for so many people it was their first festival. Personally i think it HAS gone downhill, but im not sure if thats because my tastes now are better served by green man, atp etc. One thing that IS certain is that other European festivals catering to the same audience as glastonbury are better organised-bennacasim, roskilde, sziget to name but a few- plus you have a friendly atmosphere there because people come from all over europe and are happy and excited to talk to other people...and complain less!
And as for toilets- it si just the brits who cant use them properly- or perhaps dont clean them enough-ive never had problems at otehr euro festivals....
Glastonbury doesn't change
you do
i usually live in somerset,
and you had to go and queue outside glastonbury tribunal for hours, but youd always get a ticket. also it meant more hippies went, because they dont all have computers.
BAh.
Everything's 'not like it used to be' isn't it?
I'm sick of people blabbering on about stuff like that.
Put yours on ebay.
I don't mind medically and physically altering my appearance, unfortunatly I will not buy your ticket Damian
too right
Agree 100% - I went in 2004 loved it. Now I'm the grand old age of 30 I'd rather go to gigs in London and stay in nice hotels, rather than slum it with a load of dopeheads for 3 days not bathing, and crapping on top of other peoples crap in a makeshift bog - ewww!
And I speak from experience
I've been to every one since 1992. 2005 was my last.
