Glastonbury 2009 is a sell out
By Amira Hashish, Evening Standard 01.10.09Tickets for this year's Glastonbury Festival have sold out.
An early ticket deposit scheme was launched in October, and organisers said the "vast majority" of festival-goers completed their full payment by February 1st.
No headline acts have been confirmed for the event, which will take place in late June.
Emily Eavis, who runs Glastonbury with her father Michael, said: "We're chuffed to bits that we've managed to sell so many tickets so far ahead, especially when you look at the weather outside.
"Thanks to everyone for keeping the faith; it's certainly shaping up to be another vintage year for the Glastonbury Festival, with a brilliant line up to be unveiled in June."
Last year around 3,000 tickets remained unsold in the days leading up to the festival.
