| Paskage sale - travel + festival. Oops - just festival. Is that allowed Posted by grahame at 18:54, 21st October 2026 |     |
From the BBC
An administrative error resulted in coach journeys to the Glastonbury Festival being oversold through its official ticketing partner.
More coach package tickets were sold for certain departures than there are seats available, according to an email See Tickets sent to customers.
Those affected will not lose their tickets however. Instead, their booking will automatically be converted into a general admission ticket and the coach fare will be refunded.
The ticketing agency declined to comment further, but the BBC understands Glastonbury Festival was not responsible for the error.
Glastonbury coach ticket prices range from £26 to £185 - on top of general admission - depending on the departure town or city and whether it is a single or return journey.

I have to ask the question - "so how are the people who paid for a package supposed to get to Glastonbury then?" I can't imagine Tui selling a holiday to Majorca include flights and hotel, then telling people to make their own way from Leeds, Liverpool or Luton to the hotel.

I imagine your only recourse would be to get a full refund on the entire package if you couldn't attend without coach travel.
