The Glastonbury Festival is one of England's most popular contemporary performing arts events.
Now organizers hope to defeat ticket scalpers with the help of the Net.
As of April 1, fans will be able to apply for the £150 tickets, which amount to photo ID cards, online we well as by post.
The Who, The Arctic Monkeys and Bjork have already been confirmed for the 22-24 June festival, and some 137,000 tickets will be sold to the public, says the BBC: "The registration web site will close on 28 February.
BUT - "apply for" is the operative phrase because the organisers have emphasised registration doesn't guarantee a ticket, "and that there is no advantage for anybody who registers early," warns the Beeb.
It quotes organizer Michael Eavis as saying, ""The people who buy the tickets on 1 April will be the people who are actually coming to the festival."
