Glastonbury Festival organisers have been increasing the security of tickets over the years to ensure that touts have no place at the Glastonbury Festival. This year they are confident the system is foolproof.

However, please still keep your ticket safe and don't leave yourself vulnerable to someone who might want to try and test their chances at breaking the system.

And remember, if you lose your ticket – you aren't getting in.

All tickets will be personalised with a full colour facial image submitted during the ticket registration process and checks will be made at the gates. Every ticket holder will be required to present their personalised ticket.

If you are clearly not the person whose face is printed on the ticket you will be denied entry.

These safeguards should ensure there is no chance of being assaulted for your ticket before you go beyond the big fence.

Please keep your ticket safe before the festival and don't have it sticking out of your back pocket while walking up and down the train on the way to the festival.
