Yes

Dunno, but they were about £3.30/£3.50 last year

To be honest, I think it's quite a good system. I reckon the overall waiting time would be a lot longer if you had to pay at the bar each time and the bar staff had to go and ring up a till, collect the money and give change.

It's not your local remember, there would be untold people just walking off without paying and the amount of change they would need to carry would be immense.

other festivals manage it no problem at all and infact have shorter queing times at the bar than you do at V.

They were £3.10 last year

I imagine they will be £3.30 this year as thats what Download were charging, by the way last year had many more cash only bars than before, so maybe buying loads isn't the best idea

Is it one token per drink?

If you buy a job lot of them on the friday and dont spend them can you exchange them back on the sunday?

Or is that Niave of me!!

I agree. If you plan right you queue once to buy your tickets and then the beer queues move a lot faster...I can't imagine anything worse than there being band coming on I want to see and I'm stuck in the queue behind some numbnuts counting out coppers to pay for a pint...(well I can obviously...catching herpes off a relative would be a bit worse I'd imagine)

Can't quite remember but I do recall reading somewhere that you can only exchange them on the day you bought them, during the last hour the bars are open. It might not be neccessarily on the day you bought them, but it's definitely during the last hour only.

Nah...you can even post them back after the festival and they'll send you a chq
