WANDERERS boss Sam Allardyce has snapped up the first tickets for this year's Glastonbury festival.

Big Sam bid £10,500 for them at a charity auction held in London on Tuesday night.

He will arrive at the festival in June by helicopter to watch the headline bands.

Organisers are keeping tight lipped about the line-up and say they will announce confirmed bands on June 1.

Sam bought the tickets at The HMV Football Extravaganza which was in aid of the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity and was also held to celebrate Teddy Sheringham's career.

Tickets for Glastonbury go on general sale at 9am today.
