A spokesperson said: “The Glastonbury 2023 coach + ticket packages on sale this evening have now all been sold. Thank you to everyone who bought one.
“Standard tickets are on sale at 9am GMT on Sunday morning (and National Express will offer coach travel to standard ticket holders from across the UK).”
Tickets for Glastonbury 2023 will cost £335 plus a £5 booking fee, with co-organiser Emily Eavis saying the festival is facing “enormous rises” in costs.

Anyone who purchased tickets tonight or who plans to on Sunday must pay a £50 deposit. The full festival ticket balance is due in the first week of April 2023.
Ticketholders who successfully secured their place at Glastonbury 2023 tonight were also required to pay their full coach fare up front.
Glastonbury 2023 will take place between Wednesday, June 21 and Sunday, June 25 at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Arctic Monkeys, Harry Styles and Sir Elton John are among the bookies' favourites to perform on the iconic Pyramid Stage.
Music fans who are unsuccessful in puchasing tickets in November's sales will have another chance to book in the spring resales.
Tickets can only be purchased online at glastonbury.seetickets.com by people who are registered on the festival's Seetickets website.
Joy and frustration as Glastonbury coach and ticket packages sell out
Some festivalgoers have taken to Twitter to express their delight at securing their place at Worthy Farm next year.
Others will be trying again on Sunday when general admission tickets become available, with some saying they had problems accessing the Seetickets website.
Thanks guys! See you next year 😍
