More newbie questions!

[Cockney_Jesus]

I'm arriving on the Thursday morning, I won't miss too much on Wednesay will I?

How much money to take?

How long does it take to get between the Pyramid/John Peel/ Other/Avalon stages (ones with the most bands I want to see.)

And do they have the overpriced drinks like at Reading where every food stall sells normal drink bottles for £2 or is it more reasonable?

Thanks

Only getting to know the site, make sure you have a good wander on thursday other than that you shouldnt miss too much and you'll have agreat time

How much money to take?

its entireley up to you, personally im taking about £250 which gives me £50 a day for the 5 days. thats to buy all meals get a few pints of brothers and some spare for other purchases. although im sure if your cash strapped you can do it cheaper.

How long does it take to get between the Pyramid/John Peel/ Other/Avalon stages (ones with the most bands I want to see.)

its depends on the time of day ect. leave a good half an hour to get between stages and you wont be dissapointed.

And do they have the overpriced drinks like at Reading where every food stall sells normal drink bottles for £2 or is it more reasonable?

it depends, some stalls will try to rip you off with high prices others sell cans for cheaper. best bet is to stay away from generic burger vans the type ou see at reading and V.

hope that kinda helps

ALL of these questions have been answered before. Use the search function.

Pardon me for stating the f**king obvious...

Funnily enough, this close to the festival I'm getting a bit bored of the same questions clogging up the board time and again when so many of us have been so helpful in the past and the board's search function is so good and user-friendly.

I don't think pointing someone to the very useful search function classes as 'shit'. I certainly find that function on this, and other, messageboards, really handy, but not everyone knows it's there till they're told.

[Storm_NL]

Yes ... but only if he's smarter than the average bear and only wants to watch the 'good' bands

Will £75 get me by

Think il be living off 10p chocolate bars and own-brand noodles for the week.

[mikeb]

If I don't keep a careful watch of my bear in the arena, is it likely to get spiked?

[MJMilz14]

It can be done, yes!

...and you can always supplement your income by selling on alcohol and cigs..

[Storm_NL]

I know I should live within my means but... I want to drink my alcohol and smoke my cigs

I could bring a load of toilet roll, and stand outside the loo's waiting for people to turn up without it. 25p a square

[MJMilz14]

You'd be amazed what people will pay for if you're polite/persistent enough, and they are mashed enough...

For example, I would pay a princely some right now, for not being able to hear the next door neighbours having sex...
