The iconic music festival continues to break new records as tickets for the 2014 festival sell out in one hour and twenty seven minutes.

Father and daughter duo and organisers Michael and Emily Eavis revealed they were “blown away” by demand for tickets, while also expressing disappointment for other wanna be festival goers who failed to get one. In a joint statement the two of them said “We have, once again, been blown away by the numbers of people who were hoping to join us at the Festival, and we’re sorry that many of you have missed out on a ticket. We genuinely try to make the ticket system as fair as it can be, but when demand outstrips supply, it is an unfortunate inevitability that some people will be left disappointed”.

Ticketing website See Tickets earlier apologised for the problems suffered by hundreds of thousands of fans as the website suffered from technical difficulties. Before managing to sell as many as 3,000 tickets a minute, the website reported “issues” which led to a “very difficult half an hour”.

What makes this feat even more impressive is the fact that the headliners are still to be revealed, although rumours as always are circling. David Bowie is one of the favourites to headline, after a year which saw him release his first new material in over ten years with 2013’s The Next Day. There are also whispers that the likes of Foo Fighters and Depeche Mode could also make headlining appearances.
