London: The parents of the Aussie pop superstar Kylie Minogue will have to buy tickets to watch her perform though she is headlining this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Mirror.co.uk reports that her record company EMI is under financial strain and has been forced to cut back on free tickets for friends and family of stars, so people like Ron and Carol Minogue will have to pay for themselves.

EMI has also been forced to cut back on the number of business class flights for its performers.
