No headline acts have been announced but tickets for Glastonbury 2009 have already sold out.

An early ticket deposit scheme was launched in October, and organisers said the "vast majority" of festival-goers completed their full payment by February 1.

Emily Eavis, who runs the Glastonbury Festival with her father Michael, said: "We're chuffed to bits that we've managed to sell so many tickets so far ahead, especially when you look at the weather outside.

"Thanks to everyone for keeping the faith; it's certainly shaping up to be another vintage year for the Glastonbury Festival, with a brilliant line-up to be unveiled in June."

Last year around 3,000 tickets remained unsold in the days leading up to the festival that takes place in late June.
