According to Michael Eavis about 90% of the tickets for this years Glastonbury 2009 festival have been sold. An estimated 136,250 tickets have been issued to date.

A welcome change of fortune for a festival that has experienced difficulties over the past few years. 2007’s event was hit by terrible weather and 2008’s festival, with headliners like Jay-Z, the Verve and Kings of Leon, failed to sell out. Event organisers took a different tactic for the 2009 festival, putting tickets on sale in October – six months earlier than normal.

Confirmed acts for 2009 are:

Blur, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Kaiser Chiefs, along with Primal Scream, Supergrass, The Zutons and The Ting Tings.
