Glastonbury Rip Off!

Oh the memories, in my days, we used to go armed with a ladder, clear the fence then exit to receive a wristband for re-entry, enabling us to get our tents and enjoy a free weekend of it at Glastonbury.
Of course this was a few years ago, I think I'm too old to be clambering through fields and climbing security fences nowadays, it also seems more like Fort Knox too. Happy memories of the place, but now I choose to watch it on the telly and get a much better view of the stage's, nice and comfy on my sofa and at a fraction of the cost

I got back from Glastonbury today and it was absolutely superb. Not very MSE though at £2 for a cup of tea and £4 for a slice of pizza but absolutely superb!
Franz Ferdinand & Blue being the pick for me

Glasto = too many flags, too many yuppies these days, the song "common people" springs to mind, ticket prices are outrageous as well.
to the OP - no one spends £600 at a festival unless your one of the above.0 -
Franz Ferdinand & Blue being the pick for me
Riq - unless Glasto has really changed, I'll assume you meant Blur!0 -
Son and gf came back yesterday, they loved it and done it on the cheap But they did see Hobnobs at £2 and a pack of paracetemol (usually around 16p) being sold for £4 :eek: Honorary Northern Bird bestowed by AnselmI'm a Board Guide and volunteer to help get your forum questions answered and keep the forum running smoothly on Special Occasions, Green/Ethical, Motoring/Overseas/UK Travel & Flood boards, it's not part of my role to deal with reportable posts.

The most I've spent there is £200 and I was there for a whole week with work!!
How the hell you got £600 from I don't know?!
You bought the tickets with attached T&C's - you decided not to go so tough sh*t. That's life I'm afraid.
You'll just have to go through life not buying a gig ticket ever again, as something might happen so you can't go?!?!0 -
I know, thankfully they didn't pay anything like that for anything.............I'd have fainted and then whacked them one :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Guess it's a captive audience so to speak and when people have a hangover in the morning or munchies late at night they're going to fork out whatever I sposeHeaven forbid savvy!!!!!:eek: That's ridiculous, though I suppose some poor folk are forced into paying that extortionate sort of price.
