After a further agonising two-week wait for music fans across the UK trying to secure Glastonbury tickets, greetings card marketplace thortful.com has launched a series of “Sorry you didn’t get a Glastonbury ticket” cards for those who miss out. This year, it’s estimated that 2.5million people will try for the 200,000 available tickets on November 16 and 19, potentially leaving 2.3m disappointed music-lovers.

To soften the blow of the frantic group planning an intense hour-long wait of crashing web browsers, thortful has launched a range of “Sorry you didn’t get a Glastonbury ticket” cards for families and friends to gift each other if they aren’t successful. The cards, featuring Glastonbury co-creator Michael Eavis apologising that you didn’t get tickets, one that claims it’s going to rain throughout June next year, a deepest condolences on missing out on Glastonbury tickets design and one that claims the headliners could be terrible, are available to purchase in various sizes from thortful now. After Elton John’s epic Pyramid stage performance last year, fans are hungry for more as rumoured headliners include Coldplay, Madonna, Dua Lipa2 and more of the biggest names in the business.

A spokesperson at thortful said: “We wish everyone trying for tickets the best of luck this weekend. It’s always a stressful and intense experience trying to secure a spot at Glastonbury, but we hope the unlucky people who don’t succeed can share support and humour with our new card. Good luck everyone!”
