Dominic1983 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I took £90, but, having brought my own booze and food, spent just £19! It was on the occasional pint of cider or some hot food when I felt like treating myself. I've never spent such a small amount of money at a festival before, I was somewhat shocked to say the least! I know someone who spent £300, and someone else who spent £600!! That's just mad. How much did you guys spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man drew Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Worked out about 150 when i was in there and 50 on booze to take in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 About 150 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jutt69 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Me and the misses spent about £500 Plus £80 to get there Plus £400 on tickets That's an average Glasto spend for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markeee Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 prob about 400 then more for ticket, travel and of course my own booze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmcga Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Just over £200 I think. But then I bought all the food and drink I had while I was there (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks every day plus booze, coffee, etc). I'll feel it this month, but I think it's worth it - I love the Glasto food and it's all part of the experience for me. Plus I come on the train and can't be arsed with lugging tonnes of booze / food / a stove with me. Cheers, John. PS: £19?! That is pretty impressive!

Madabout G Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Took £300.00 cash and took another £120.00 out of cashpoint nr Jazzworld area. Then again, I was buying almost everyone I talked to drinks. I'm like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scappaflow Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I too spent much less than planned. Without really trying I spent only £120 or so. I had £200 with me. However had every bar been selling Brothers Strawberry Cider I think I could have easilly spent a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_Babs Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I took £200 and only spent £105! That was at last count yesterday morning. I did then buy two bottles of water for £1 each (bargain!), a plate of cous cous with chilli for £3, 2x Q Reviews and a mag, some snacks and a Mcd's on the way home, so that all brought my spent up by quite a bit!

solarfall Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I took £100 with me and came back with £30 change. Cashback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1999 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 think i spent about 250-300 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilVJ Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Took £250 but only spent about £200. The fact that you could take in your own booze to main stages was not something I was expecting and saved me cash. However like someone else said if there was a brothers bar next to the pyramid and other stage I would have spent a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeddyDriver Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 ouch we took a grand, not wanting to go without anything we wnted, and due to the fact that we are not having a summer holiday this year ! In the end we got through 650 quid, but was for 4 of us, and we all came home with quite a few souvenirs to be fair so not too bad ! Missus then spent 30 quid of the remainder at the local laundrettte yesterday evening ! so as not to clog up our own washing machine availability for the next 3 weeks !!

Aragorn Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 £240 between me and the missus - tool all our own booze though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammachine Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Around £200 between me and my wife. All booze and extras were bought before-hand and we only bought drink/food there - no extra tat/t-shirts etc. We had a B&B on the Tuesday, but overall, it was a pretty cheap Glasto.

Chris-TT Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Every year I seem to spend a lot less than I expect! I took £200 this year, as I thought if I need more there’s always cashback/cashpoints. I only spent £120. I did bring a couple of litres of vodka and plenty of cans of cider, managed to get through all of that too. I spent around £50 on food and soft drinks, which meant I spent about £70 at the cider bus. That’s still 21 pints I guess and to be honest, I wasn’t trying to be conservative with my money at all.
