Get ready to mash some buttons - extra tickets to Glastonbury Festival 2023 will go on sale this week for locals.

A small allocation of tickets is held back every year for residents who live near to the festival site in Pilton and those tickets are going on sale this Sunday (November 20) here.

Only "permanent full-time residents" registered with Glastonbury Festival from an address in the event's catchment area (see map below) will be eligible to apply for tickets in the local sale.

That catchment area is split into two zones to make sure that those most likely to be affected by the festival have the best chance to secure tickets.

Residents in the inner zone can book tickets from 9am on Sunday. The inner zone includes Doulting, East Pennard, Glastonbury, North Wootton, Pilton, Pylle, Shepton Mallet, West Bradley and West Pennard.

An hour later, residents in the outer zome (Alford, Allhampton, Ansford, Ashcott, Ashwick, Baltonsborough, Barton St David, Binegar, Butleigh, Castle Cary, Coleford, Cranmore, Dinder, Ditcheat, Emborough, Evercreech, Holcombe, Leigh-upon-Mendip, Lovington, Lydford, Oakhill, Stoke St Michael, Street, Walton and Wells) can buy tickets.

Applicants can purchase four tickets per transaction, with weekend tickets costing £340.

There is also an allocation of Sunday-only tickets available to locals, also opening this Sunday, at 11am GMT.

Those tickets are available to residents who live in the wider Mendip and Central Somerset area. A condition for selling Sunday tickets is that travel to the festival site is by bus.

Earlier this month, coach and ticket packages for next year's Glastonbury sold out in 22 minutes.
