Fans that wanted to attend this year's Glastonbury Festival had to register with a passport sized photo on the website's detailed ticketing system that was designed to beat scalpers. With the new system, the photos will be printed on the ticket of the person who purchased it. Over 137, 000 tickets were sold out in about an hour, the fastest time ever, say organizers. The festival takes place Jun 22-24, 2007 in Somerset.

The Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and The Who will headline the event in Somerset from 22-24 June.
