Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2013 sold out today in less than two hours, causing ticket company phone lines to be jammed and the website to crash under the load.

135,000 tickets for the weekend event have been sold at £205 each. The festival will be held at Worthy Farm in Somerset from 26 June to 1 July 2013.

"After one hour and 40 minutes, tickets for Glastonbury 2013 have now completely sold out (in record time). We would like to say an enormous thanks to everyone who managed to buy a ticket - but we'd also like to extend our sincere apologies to the many thousands who missed out."
