Here’s the proof it is still the best festival in the world –  tickets to Glastonbury sold out in 32 minutes.

More than 118,000 tickets were sold in less than half an hour on Sunday with music fans snapping up the chance to secure their place at Worthy Farm.

A spokesperson said: “We have, once again, been staggered by the sheer number of people from around the world who hoped to come to the festival, with demand significantly outstripping supply.”

However the huge demand meant thousands were left disappointed as they failed to get tickets.

The spokesperson continued: “We’re sorry to all of those who missed out. We really wish we could fit you all in.

“But there will be a resale of any returned tickets in the spring, and registration will open again in the next few days. Thank you for your incredible support.”

Coldplay and Adele are the favourites to headline the June 22-26 event with Foo Fighters also expected to perform after being forced to pull out this year due to frontman Dave Grohl breaking his leg.

If you’ve been left disappointed, there’s still hope. There’s a ticket resale in April, failing that Oxfam grant tickets in return for eight hours work…
