Festivalgoers hoping for a ticket to Glastonbury Festival this year will have to register their interest next month (February) if they are to succeed in getting one, organiser Michael Eavis revealed today (January 8).

The 2008 registration will be similar to last year’s system, which involved supplying contact details and a photo in a bid to combat ticket touting.

Speaking of the plan, Eavis said "I want to keep up the momentum we gathered last year by stopping ticket touting altogether."

"Thank you for being so supportive of our registration process, which is, after all, quite tedious. I appreciate it so much," he added.

The Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 are coming soon – and it’s time to have your say. Vote now by heading to NME.COM/awardsvote and you could win VIP tickets to the ceremony, which takes place in London on February 28.

Would be nice if Eavis could confirm that the glitches from last year have been fixed. Once a order has been placed, it should be impossible for the same person to simply hit refresh and order more tickets. Some people being able to get 30 tickets for their friends whilst others can`t even get through to the site was hardly fair, and i don`t remember anyone admiting there was even a problem !! How i long for the days when i could walk into a record shop a couple of months before the event and buy a ticket over the counter. And if you`ve got more people registered than tickets available before the deadline, what`s the point extending the deadline and giving those who`ve already registered less chance of getting in ?? If you can`t get off your arse and register in the month available, you really don`t deserve to be going to Glasto !!
