Photo identification will be introduced at this year’s Glastonbury Festival in an attempt to stamp out ticket touts. The world famous music festival returns in June after a two-year absence. And festival organiser Michael Eavis is planning for this years event to be the biggest, with an extra 25,000 tickets going on sale to the public. In an effort to cut out touting, tickets for the three-day festival will feature a picture of the person who bought the ticket. The photo tickets will be non-exchangeable and if the ticket holder does not match the picture they will be denied entry. He said that the artists performing would not be disclosed until later in the year but added that this year’s line-up was the “best ever”. Subject to being granted a new four-year licence, the festival is due to be held on June 22 -24.
