Tickets for Glastonbury 2020 have sold out in just under 35 minutes, a near record time for the festival.

All 135,000 tickets were sold in just 34 minutes, taking slightly longer than the record of 26 minutes for the 2015 festival.

Tickets went on sale at 9am on Sunday and the website began to slow as a record 2.4 million people tried to get access to the festival.

Coach and ticket packages all sold out earlier this week in a near-record 27 minutes.

The event is celebrating it's 50th anniversary which runs from 24 to 28 June at Worthy Farm in Somerset.

Finally after 5 years trying with the same people.... WE ARE GOING TO GLASTONBURY!!
