How to get a refund for Glastonbury 2020

Jason Bryant

Ticket refunds are available for the cancelled Glastonbury 2020.

The festival was due to celebrate its 50th anniversary with headline acts Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift, but it has been forced to end proceedings due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Those who have paid their £50 deposit for a Glastonbury 2020 ticket will be able to roll it over to next year’s festival, making them guaranteed to get a ticket for Glastonbury 2021.

Those who would prefer a refund of that £50 will be able to contact See Tickets in the coming days in order to secure one. This option will remain available until September this year.

For those who are happy to roll their deposit over, that will happen automatically. 

Further information regarding rolling over coach packages, official accommodation bookings and local tickets are yet to be announced. 

In a statement, festival organisers Michael and Emily Eavis wrote: “The cancellation of this year’s Festival will no doubt come as a terrible blow to our incredible crew and volunteers who work so hard to make this event happen. 

“There will also inevitably be severe financial implications as a result of this cancellation – not just for us, but also the Festival’s charity partners, suppliers, traders, local landowners and our community.

“We were so looking forward to welcoming you all for our 50th anniversary with a line-up full of fantastic artists and performers that we were incredibly proud to have booked. 

“Again, we’re so sorry that this decision has been made. It was not through choice. But we look forward to welcoming you back to these fields next year and until then, we send our love and support to all of you.”
