Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2013 sold out today in less than two hours, causing ticket company phone lines to be jammed and the website to crash under the load.

135,000 tickets for the weekend event have been sold at £205 each. The festival will be held at Worthy Farm in Somerset from 26 June to 1 July 2013.
