Glastonbury tickets still on sale
|
Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis reckons three years of mud may be putting festival-goers off as tickets sell slower than previous years.
Eavis said around 100,000 tickets had been sold by Sunday afternoon.
He said: 'It's a nice little sale for a Sunday morning. And that's without them even knowing who's playing - we haven't announced our line-up yet.
'In previous years all tickets were sold-out within a couple of hours but I think three years of mud may have taken their toll, but even so, 100,000 isn't bad.'
Eavis said the line-up would be announced on May 1, adding: 'People will be astonished, astounded when they see who's playing. I'm so excited about Jay-Z too. He's the best thing we have had here for years.'
The festival takes place from Fri 27-Sun 29 June and the line-up is already taking shape. As well as headliners Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve, swathes of artists have thrown their hats into the ring and confirmed their appearance for the summer’s biggest party. Official confirmations include:
