If you thought buying tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival was going to be easier following this year's slow sales then you'd be wrong...

Registering for Glasto 2009 opened yesterday and you'll have to be either ready to buy a full ticket for £175 by 5th October or at least pay a deposit of £50 with the balance due by February. Yes, the system all but cuts out the ticket touts but is it worth shelling out so much money 9 months up front? Glastonbury used to be full of hippies and party animals now it'll just be rammed with very very organised people - probably all holding clipboards while they dance round their iPhones.
