markeee Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 agree with denwyn and travelling mr pastry, i take around 400..don't want to have to limit myself or think ' oh no i cant have another burger or pint, can only have 2 a day' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refriedgenes Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, I'm going to use 26 litres of diesel to get there, which is 103.9 x 26 which comes out 27 quid and 2 pence. I'm going to eat at Katy's Thai wonderland which costs 4.50 once a day, 22.50 to eat for the weekened. That's a total of 49.52. Plus one pint at 2.80, that's 52.32, and now it all starts to get a li'l messy.... I don't think you can quantify an experience such as Glasto using monetary definitions, as long as you can still get a pint at sundaynight close off, you're laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Everyone is estimating the food at £4.50 a meal. Most stuff last year was £5, plus we've got this whole 'credit crunch' thing .... I wouldn't be surprised to see most stuff at £6 this year. Peace x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madabout G Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I am, and I will not get into an argument, but I knew plenty of other people would start posting. I replied directly not to your post, but just as a way to highlight dangers. Yes I am over 40, but more than that I am very aware of the steps that the police and security are having to take to stop the organised gangs, like the ones last year across the festival scene. Some of those where specially targeted. You may not be going to a meet, but others will be. I wear a tshurt with my name board on. But I know very little on the matter, and this is the last I will say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockworkpurple Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Probably about £150, more if i can afford it! I get paid Tuesday. Tuesday AFTER the festival But totally agree with Dominic1983 about the lock-ups. Safest place to put your wad when you're not giving it to those nice people from Brothers....

Kaye Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm not been funny. It's a bad move posting how much you will have on you...... You never know who could be at meets etc and there are organised folk around. Not to scare you sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockworkpurple Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm not taking any money . . . . I'm going to mug Rufus at the efests meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 £200 is what I normally need... Will probably take £300 just to make sure I don't have to queue at any point for the cash machine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomaniac Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'll be taking about £500 and so as not get it stolen I'll be hiding it in the side pocket of my tent, should be pretty damn safe there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Androoo Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 £50 should do me nicely as I can't be tempted to buy my own drinks at the bar cos I'm 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatyparson Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I'm taking my tent, sleeping bag, spare clothes and £400.00. Arriving Thursday, so that's £100.00 a day. Should be enough to get elegantly w*nkered. No food. No drink. Buying everything there. And some. What about you guys?

Peevis Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 This is the point. You'll spend whatever you take.. It's what happens @ Glasto. Take £200 for emergencies, (expect it' all to be spent too) 'nuff mind alterations and booze to get you through and enjoy. Don't take too much 'cos you'll end up with no cash a few shite things you thought were cool after fifteen hours drinking but is too large to fit in your car and upon sobriety turns out to be a minging peice. Drugs, booze, food it you are a woos. What else do you need? Fresh pants if you a a girl I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voisey Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Last year we took so much food that we ended up throwig most of it away as it had gone off in the sun. This year I am going to take more money with me to try and avoid doing just that! Besides which, I don't spend much time at the tent apart from the sleep so it's easier to buy lunch and dinner when out and about. I am hoping that £400 will cover me for the 4 days...

ihavetheleedsfestivalfootball Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 A tenner, 5 litres of vodka and a big pile of madman should see me through til Monday. Eating is an unnecessary chore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuel Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I usually take £250, £50 a day is enough to eat on and buy a few treats. i don't drink anymore or do drugs so that cuts what i need money for right down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
