  Glastonbury sells out in 24 hours
Updated 02 April 2003, 09.52
Glastonbury tickets sold out in record time
The Glastonbury festival has sold out in just one day.

Organisers said even they were surprised when more than 100,000 tickets were snapped up in record time.

They cost £105 each for the whole weekend and went on sale at 9am on Monday.

A total of 112,500 tickets have been sold.

Crazy prices

Radiohead's Thom Yorke will be at the event
Big name bands like Radiohead and REM are already confirmed to the headline the event, with loads of other top names expected to be added to the line-up.

Last year, the tickets took several months to sell out.

But there are worries that the lack of tickets means people will start charging crazy prices for theirs.

Not fair

Tickets were £105 each
There are already reports of people selling their tickets on the internet for up to £500.

Organiser Michael Eavis said this was not fair, and he would try to cancel any tickets sold in this way.

Glastonbury is held from 27-29 June.
