The bucket list item for all festival lovers, Glastonbury Festival, is one of the most iconic music and arts events in the world, and getting tickets can feel like a marathon in itself!

Whether you are a regular at Glastonbury, or it’s your first time in 2025, why not make it a little more comfortable with a motorhome.

Here’s everything you need to know about securing your spot, including the all-important motorhome passes, so you can enjoy Glastonbury in style.

Understand the Ticket Process

The first step to getting Glastonbury tickets for 2025 is understanding the festival’s unique ticketing system. Here’s how it works:

Pre-Registration

To even be eligible to buy a ticket, you must pre-register on the official Glastonbury website. This involves filling out a form and uploading a passport-style photo. If you’ve registered for a previous year, you don’t need to register again, but it’s a good idea to double-check that your details are up-to-date.

Everyone aged 13 or over on the day the festival opens its doors next year must be registered to attend, but this does not guarantee you a ticket.

Registration for Glastonbury 2025 is open now so if you haven’t registered get to it NOW!!

Ticket Sales Phases

Glastonbury tickets typically sell in two phases:

Ticket + Coach Package: This sale happens first, where tickets are bundled with coach travel from various locations across the UK. These tickets can sell out in minutes and are being released on Thursday 14th November at 6pm.
General Admission Ticket Sale: This is when the majority of tickets are sold. Again, these sell out extremely quickly, so it’s essential to be prepared. These are being released on Sunday the 17th November from 9am.

Tips for Securing General Tickets

Since Glastonbury tickets are in such high demand, there are a few strategies that can increase your chances:

Get your group organised: You can book up to six tickets in one transaction, but everyone in your group must be pre-registered. Coordinate with your group so that everyone tries at once to improve your odds.
Be prepared on sale day: Ticket sales typically open at 9 am on Sunday 17th November. Make sure you’re logged into the website a little before, have your payment details ready, and avoid refreshing the page too often (this can slow you down or get you locked out).Tickets cost £373.50 + £5 booking fee.
Use multiple devices and browsers: Try accessing the ticket page from different devices (laptop, phone, tablet) and browsers to give yourself a better shot.
Stay patient: If tickets sell out before you get one, don’t despair—there’s a ticket resale in April for any cancelled tickets, and this gives you another chance to secure your spot.

How to Secure a Motorhome Pass for Glastonbury 2025

If you’re planning on staying in a motorhome or campervan, you’ll need to purchase a separate pass for access to the motorhome fields, which also tend to sell out quickly. Here’s what you need to know:

Motorhome Pass Sale

Motorhome passes are sold separately after you’ve secured your main festival ticket. Typically, these passes go on sale in early 2025 (around February or March).
Passes are available in two sizes: Standard (for vehicles up to 8 metres) and Large (for vehicles over 8 metres). Be sure to select the correct one for your motorhome.

Camping Fields for Motorhomes

Motorhomes are designated to specific camping fields at the festival, and access is controlled to ensure vehicles have space and proper facilities. The motorhome fields have toilets, waste disposal points, and access to water.

Choose Your Campervan Pitch

Once you have your festival tickets, quickly decide on the type of campervan pitch you need. There are four options:

East Quiet Campervans (Blue Route)
East General Campervans (Blue Route)
Bath & West Regular Campervans (White Route)
Bath & West Large Campervans (White Route)

The first two options are on-site and suitable for vehicles up to 8 metres long. The Bath & West options are off-site with shuttle services provided

Motorhome Pass Tips

Book as soon as passes go live: Like the main tickets, these passes sell out incredibly fast, so be online and ready when they go on sale.
Be clear on vehicle dimensions: Ensure you book the right size pass, as festival staff will check the size of your motorhome or campervan.
Bring necessary documents: You may need proof of your motorhome’s dimensions and, in some cases, insurance documents.

Preparing for Motorhome Camping at Glastonbury

Once you’ve secured your ticket and motorhome pass, it’s time to get prepared for your camping experience. Here’s what to keep in mind:

What to Pack

Water & Electricity Hookups: Motorhome camping at Glastonbury is off-grid, meaning no electricity or direct water connections. Bring water containers, a portable solar charger, and spare batteries to stay comfortable.
Waste Management: Make sure your motorhome has a working waste disposal system, as you’ll need to manage your own waste during the festival.
Parking Space: The motorhome field allows for extra space beside your vehicle, so bring foldable chairs, a table, and perhaps an awning to create an outdoor living area.
Festival Gear: Don’t forget your festival essentials—wellington boots, waterproofs, sunscreen, reusable water bottles, and plenty of snacks!

Arriving at Glastonbury

Motorhome arrivals are generally allowed a day earlier than tent campers, giving you time to settle in and find a good spot. Be prepared for some queues at the entrance, as security checks take time, especially for vehicles. Aim to arrive early to get a prime parking location.
