Thousands of Glastonbury Festival fans are jamming phone lines and its website after tickets went on sale earlier.
This year's event, which is being headlined by US rapper Jay-Z, takes place on organiser Michael Eavis's farm at Pilton, Somerset, from 27-29 June.
Fans had to register their interest in advance of tickets going on sale, with demand slightly down on last year.
Mr Eavis said the drop in numbers was down to not having "the super, big headlining act" this year.
"We've gone for something middle range although Jay-Z is huge in America," he told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat Czech Senate passes new deadline for passports with fingerprints ...

"It's going to be absolutely brilliant. But it's not like a Radiohead or a Muse or a Coldplay or an Oasis is it? So we didn't expect the demand to be quite as high."
Tickets went on sale at 0900 BST on Sunday morning.
Last year 177,000 people attended the festival, while more than 700 acts played.
Confirmed headliners also include Kings of Leon and The Verve, while Hot Chip and The Futureheads are also confirmed as playing.
