Pop star Lily Allen has revealed she gave away her free Glastonbury ticket allocation to random villagers, rather than giving it to ungrateful friends.
The 29-year-old 'Hard Out Here' singer is set to perform at the iconic music festival next week and she didn't want to give her free passes to people who never really appreciate it, reported Digital Spy.
"I get a certain allocation, and because I am on the Pyramid main stage you get more. My husband has been in charge of ticket allocation. I have quite a lot of blaggy friends who hit me up for stuff all the time and never really appreciate it. I have all the calls, 'Can we have some tickets?" Allen said.
"He has given them all to our villagers. There's, like, 25 kids from Canham who have never been to Glastonbury and who are going to have such a shock, and all my showbiz mates are like, 'Er?'" she added.
