Eavis Jr “humbled” by Glasto sell out
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 October 2009
Emily Eavis has said she feels “shocked and surprised” that next year’s Glastonbury Festival sold out on the day tickets went on sale. In fact, it took just twelve hours to clear all the tickets, converse to the slow pace of sales for recent Glastos.
Speaking to the NME, Eavis said: “It took a few months last year, we went on sale in October and were sold out by February, so it was brilliant, but we’re just a little bit shocked and surprised. It amazing to sell out this far in advance. I’m sure the 40th anniversary has something to do with it, and we’ve had a really good run of a few brilliant years. It’s quite humbling for us, because people are showing a lot faith in us, and it makes us think we’ve got to rise to it and really pull out all the stops next year! To be honest it’s what we’ve been doing for next year anyway, but it’s a good reminder”.
Cancelled tickets will be resold later this month, with registration for people who want to buy them opening on 12 Oct.
