December 12th 2024.
It's that time of year again when music lovers from all over the world are eagerly trying to secure tickets to the highly anticipated Glastonbury Festival. People have gone to great lengths to get their hands on a ticket - from waiting in long queues to downloading multiple browsers and even forming ticket syndicates with friends. Yet, despite all their efforts, many were left heartbroken when the November ticket drop came and went without them snagging a golden pass to the biggest event of the summer.
But fear not, for there are still a few ways to get into the iconic Somerset festival, with the most unexpected being buying large quantities of cheese. Yes, you read that right - cheese! In a stroke of genius marketing, Worthy Farm Cheddar has partnered with the Co-op, offering customers a chance to win one of 10 pairs of tickets to Glastonbury Festival by purchasing a block of their delicious cheddar.
Naturally, this exciting opportunity caused a frenzy among fans, with the winners set to be announced tomorrow. While we still don't know who will be headlining the Pyramid stage, one thing is for sure - everyone is desperate for a chance to attend this legendary event.
Some fans were willing to go to extreme lengths, like @Ryan01020304061 who wrote, "Honestly the s**t I have to do to try and get Glastonbury tickets. Buying cheese now ffs." Others were frantically searching for Co-op branches that stocked the Worthy Farm cheese, like @lilaclove76 who tweeted, "@coopuk please can you tell me where my local shop that stocks @Worthy_Cheddar is? I've been to the Spital shop today and they do not stock it, my local @mycoopfood stock it but they're not part of the Glastonbury Tickets competition and I need to be in it to win it."
It's a testament to the popularity of Glastonbury Festival that fans are willing to chase after cheese just for a chance to attend. As @IanBates10 put it, "It's bad that Glastonbury gets us chasing cheese to get a ticket... most likely the stress of April resales..."
But let's not forget the star of the show - the Worthy Farm Cheese, which is produced right on the festival grounds. Even those who are lactose intolerant couldn't resist the temptation, like @GlastObsessed who wrote, "I am lactose intolerant... but needs must!" And @wheresmytent_ who said, "Trying to stay off Twitter, but hoping my fellow Glastonbury addicts can all keep their fingers crossed for me. Ran out tonight and bought 4 blocks of Worthy Cheddar using my @coopuk card, praying that I might be lucky enough to win a pair of tickets."
As the competition has now closed, all we can do is wish luck to those who managed to get their hands on some Worthy Farm Cheese. The winners will be announced on December 13, and with the festival set to feature amazing acts like Stevie Wonder, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, and Neil Young, it's definitely worth the wait.
For those who didn't win, the next chance to get a ticket will be in the April resale, when cancelled tickets are put back into the pool and re-sold. And if that fails, you could always volunteer and litter pick your way to the fun. With a lineup as promising as this, it's no surprise that tickets are in high demand, especially since 2026 will be a fallow year for the festival.
So, to all the hopefuls who didn't get a ticket this time, better luck next time. And for those who do end up attending, have an amazing time and don't forget to share your experience with us!
