Organiser Michael Eavis has previously said that up to 20,000 tickets could be on sale, via a telephone booking line, but exact figures were not available. The unwanted or cancelled tickets sold out by telephone booking by about 1130 BST, after going on sale from 0900 BST.
Only people who pre-registered will be able to go to the event at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset. Organiser Michael Eavis previously said up to 20,000 tickets could be on sale, but exact figures were not available.

A festival spokesman said: "We're quite relieved about it and it seems to have been successful.
"We can now look forward to June 1 when the line-up will be announced."
