Do I splash or save?

[farewellandgoodnight]

I'm taking about £600 I should imagine but i'm travelling light and aiming to buy all my food, pharmaceuticals and most of my fags and booze in there.

It's my holiday for the year so I don't see any point in trying to take it easy.

I was aiming on taking £150 with me but after reading this, that seems very little!!

[punkincowcat]

I am relieved to hear that I am not the only one taking £150 or less. I'd like to take more but I just cant afford it. I'll be bringing a box of wine and vodka with me so hopefully that will do me

you'll be fine.

besides, as it's going to be scorchio, alcohol hits harder and you'll need less booze!

[tinpottery]

I say take as much as you can. Money doesn't make a good time but it does help. I hate that feeling on the last day of a festival when you only have £3 in your pocket.

[srvman]

maybe 1500 to 2000 quid, i quite like cider..

[Liam92]

i'm taking this

[chuckley]

I was plannin on £50 a day but due to lack of finding a new job since redundancy i have zero. so ma mums gona borrow me £100. ive got skittle vodka n red wine to last the fest and decided to bring food with me as i got a camping stove, so may as well put it through good use.

should be alrite tho!

[chuckley]

Im gonna try and get by on £60, I have managed fine with that at other festivals, plus I'm gonna be bringing my own drinks so that will reduce spending.

[travelling mr pastry]

im planning to spend about £200 on treats, £100 on booze and bring about £3/400ish. should keep me in food and altered states for most of the weekend

[Spindles]

Watching the finances REALLY carefully all month..been skint for ages and this month I'm trying to save as much as poss. Might have £250 if I'm lucky, which is way more than I've ever taken before...determined not to do the festival on a shoestring this time.

To be fair if you live on oggies, hare krishna tent and stick to your own booze you can do a fest cheap and have a bad ass time all the same, but as stated the feeling of having less pounds in your pocket than hours left at the festival is a bit of a bummer.

[noil46]

I shall take a about 150 quid with me, spread between myself and the missus, if i need more which i always do i'll go to a ATM, never had to queue before, just don't go at busy time, like the middle of the day.

[roseyrose]

After buying provisions to take with me i will have about £60 too but i did the festival on 60 last year and was fine, surviving on vodka, vino and extras!

As long as you have your own booze and food it is possible to get through the festival without spending anything if you really had to.

[cejx]

splash!!

We'll have £600 between the 2 of us... which sounds a lot I know, but we've worked bloody hard and deserve it! I've also been a skint student... living on bugger all, but 15 years on with a decent income... f**k it! You can't take it with you eh?!!

[Joshuwarr]

I survived on about £100 last year. I think I will have about £120 this year haha. Will be cooking a lot of meals though, mainly breakfast.

[travelling mr pastry]

i dont understand how people an do the fest on less than £100 really.

[xxtinkerbellxx]

I've been saving for months for this Me and the boyfriend are both students so money is very tight but weve managed to save £400 for the both of us. Also brought a box of wine, 3 crates, breakfast for everyday and stuff like cous cous or pasta for lunch and then we plan to buy food in the evening. Hopefully that should last us the whole festie but got more money coming into the bank on friday. how long are the atm machine q's?

[travelling mr pastry]

depends on what time you go, they are rarely ever that long. alot of the nicer places to eat close in the early evening, well, the pizza shop in the greenfeilds, and its well worth having one. try to get a lunch in there at some point in the fest as its well worth it.

[Redwinevino]

This could be my last year at Glastonbury for a while (want to check out some other festivals), so I'm wondering whether I should splash the cash and go all out while I'm there.

Ballpark figure for how much money I should bring?

[naffers]

all you guys saying your taking wine, how are you going to get it in, im sure i read u cant take glass bottles, coz ive got a few crates of carlsberg export but their glass bottles so was rele pissed i couldnt bring them.

[heidisuperhero]

because it's my only "holiday" of the year i've decided to take about 500 quid. i don't intend to spend it all (and there are other factors such as taxi to the fest).....so i don't think it's too excessive.

[naffers]
