Music fans have vented their frustration as they struggled to buy resale tickets to Glastonbury Festival online.
The last tickets to the three-day event at Worthy Farm in Somerset in June sold out in 20 minutes as people flooded the website to secure a place to see artists including Radiohead, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran.
Those who were unsuccessful criticised seetickets.com, the official seller.
So thanks to @seetickets having the worst website in history for the first time in 10 years I'm not going to Glastonbury. Gutted
