    Contemplating trying to get a "last minute" ticket for Leeds

    All of the above are gated arenas :(

    So the beer is for the campsite in the evening

    Travel: 4 to a car - much cheaper than the bus :)

    oh, I've always wanted to do Burning Man!
    I think Mr P and I are arranging to go next year. And Tomotina too.

    Glasto for this year though!

    I'll post up offers for the supermarkets for all the festivals, so make sure you keep coming back to check! :)

    Don't do English Festivals they're so expensive. I went to benicassim last year and spent a week in the sun on only £100 as the food was so cheap and lovely and we could go to the supermarket and get £3 bottles of vodka and whisky that we drank over the week. Ryanair goes to Valencia and the weather is going to be good.
    I spent the same amount of money in 2 days at V festival and it was wet and muddy but I shouldn't complain as i got a free ticket and got to put wristbands on the hollyoaks cast
