Glastonbury festival 2014 tickets sell out in record time
Organisers say 120,000 tickets for festival next summer have been sold in one hour and 27 minutes.
Next year's Glastonbury festival sold out in record time on Sunday as hundreds of thousands of music fans scrambled to book their place.
Around 120,000 tickets, costing £210 each, were snapped up in one hour and 27 minutes, according to organisers, who said more than one million people had registered for the event.
Michael and Emily Eavis, who put on the festival, said in a statement: "We have, once again, been blown away by the numbers of people who were hoping to join us at the festival, and we're sorry that many of you have missed out on a ticket.
"We genuinely try to make the ticket system as fair as it can be, but when demand outstrips supply it is an unfortunate inevitability that some people will be left disappointed."
Technical issues affected the first 30 minutes of sales, but See Tickets said that after the glitch around 3,000 tickets a minute were being sold.
Next year's festival takes place on Eavis's farm from 25 to 29 June. Last month Eavis said that the headliners were "more or less in place".
"They're three bands who haven't played Glastonbury, and that's important," Eavis told NME. "There aren't many bands left who haven't played the festival, and before we run out I'd like to persuade the ones on my wishlist to come down. I think I've managed that with these three."
Immediately fans began guessing. The website eFestivals had already suggested back in July that Fleetwood Mac, Depeche Mode and Elbow could be the 2014 headliners. But Gigwise discarded the "bands" idea and proposed the involvement of festival "virgins" such as Daft Punk, the Strokes, Rihanna, Adele, Kanye West and a reunited Led Zeppelin. The bookies' favourites are Oasis, the Foo Fighters and David Bowie.
