Michael Eavis told 6 Music: “175,000 have gone through as of today – and it’s going through at about 600 an hour.”
He added: “It’s a pretty high number, really. People have been very good about it. Not too many complaints and it means we can forget about touting forever.”

Organisers have made a licence application for an expanded capacity of 177,500 people. Mendip District Council will make a decision on 26 March, a week before tickets go on sale. Michael Eavis says the council is pleased with the photo ID system which is designed to stamp out ticket touts.

Glastonbury Festival takes place from June 22nd to June 24th at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
