100,000 Sign up for Glastonbury Festival

More than 100,000 people signed up for Glastonbury tickets on the first day of the festival's registration system.

The process, designed to beat ticket touts, requires fans to submit their details and a passport photo.

In return, they get a unique code, which must be quoted to buy a £150 ticket when they go on sale on 1 April.

Despite reports of problems with the website, organisers said things were "running smoothly" and reminded fans they still had a month to register.

"Our concern is that there are people out there in the world who haven't quite grasped that this is taking place," a spokesman said.

The glastonburyregistration.com registration website will be open until 28 February. Forms can also be collected from Millets camping shops.
