“If you have doubts about any company offering tickets, accommodation or competitions to access Glastonbury Festival please contact the Festival office," the statement says.
“Tickets for this year’s Festival are sold out. Any cancellations will be made available via official resales in the Spring.”
It concludes: “While some of the Festival's official partners may run officially endorsed competitions in the coming months, as of today (Sunday, January 14) there are currently NO legitimate ticket contests running for Glastonbury 2024.”

Those who missed out on the main ticket release last year, which sold out in an hour, will get another opportunity with the re-sale taking place at some point this Spring.
To get your hands on a legitimate ticket, Glastonbury is asking people to pre-register with an official ID before the re-sale date — therefore each ticket has an image of the ticket holder printed.
Glastonbury 2024 will take place from June 26 through to June 30 at Worthy Farm. No acts including headliners have been confirmed as of yet.
