In news that will surprise no-one, Glastonbury 2017 has now sold out.
Registered fans of the three-day festival prepared to battle it out this morning at 9am to secure some of the 135,000 tickets available to get caked in mud next summer.
And by 9.50am, all of the tickets were gone, after the unsurprisingly huge demand caused some issues, which meant the tickets sold in a slower time than recent years. Last year's batch sold out in 30 minutes and the previous year's went in 27 minutes.
Emily Eavis, co-organiser of the festival and youngest daughter of Glasto founder Michael Eavis, also tweeted to say the tickets had all been snapped up.
Tickets have now sold out. Thank you for your huge support and loyalty and we are sorry to those who missed out.
On Thursday night (October 6), coach and ticket packages for 2017 sold out in only 23 minutes, leaving people just a bit miffed at missing out.
And if you also missed out on this morning's ticket scramble, it's not over yet. Next Spring, there will be the usual resale of unwanted tickets.
Daft Punk, Radiohead, The Stone Roses and Lady Gaga are among the rumoured headliners for next year's festival.
Glastonbury 2017 runs from June 21-25 and will be the last edition before the festival takes its traditional break in 2018. Whether it'll be coming back to Worthy Farm remains to be seen though.
One potential issue with a Glastonbury festival in 2019 is that a planned move from the legendary Worthy Farm to a new site has fallen through.
Michael Eavis was eyeing up Longleat Safari Park as a potential new permanent home for the festival, due to a pesky gas pipe causing issues at the current site, but the owner of the Longleat estate, Lord Bath, has been overruled by his son.
