| 'Successful' registration | |
| It is the first time music lovers have had to register for tickets for the Somerset festival. | |
| In March around 400,000 people registered by sending in their details and a photo of themselves in the hope that they would eventually be able to buy tickets. | |
| Organisers have since hailed the registration process as a success as they say it has prevented touts from buying tickets. | |
| This year festival-goers will be asked to make a difference to climate change by reducing their carbon footprint. | |
| As well as eating organic food, washing in carbon neutral showers, using eco-friendly toilets and being supplied with recycled toilet paper, revellers will be invited to join the I Count campaign. | |
| It details 16 steps to reduce their environmental impact, and aims to sign up 100,000 people in three days. | |
| A small number of returned tickets go on sale on the See Tickets website on Sunday. |
