Title: Glastonbury Festival (27/06/2008-29/06/2008) Post by: Lee on April 09, 2008, 12:30:39 Glastonbury Festival organisers have given revellers another chance to register for tickets after the renowned music event failed to sell out (link below.)

Dismissing claims festival-goers had been unimpressed by headliners Jay-Z, the Verve and Kings of Leon, Mr Richards said slow sales could be attributed to fears of more wet weather. Rumours that the US rap star had dropped out were also untrue, he said. More than 250,000 revellers registered earlier this year. Ticket registration will open again at 4pm today, see http://www.glastonburyregistration.co.uk/ for more details.
