money

[parkylad]

i was talking to my mate at work and i asked him how much i should bring. he said he usually brings about £100 but i thought this was maybe too little..

just wondering how much you guys/girls bring?

cheers

[Elbear]

Probably about 150. £50 a day should be enough.

Thats if you drink a lot at the bars...

2 meals bought per day = £20 (bring one meal per day i.e snack bars fro breakfast)

the festival guide thing = £10

then £30 on booze (roughly 3 pints per day in the arena. I don't drink much in the arena however)

that tops out at £100 and id say you could do it for less.

[Poleski]

£10 per meal?! Where ze f*ck where you eating?! I get 3 for that price!

[Kyelo]

stovies a chocolate bar and pint

[Paul ™]

It can be done cheaply, just depends on your budget!

For commercial festivals like this I take about £50 per day, for smaller ones like Bearded Theory this weekend I will take about £30 per day.

[Poleski]

Well that includes a drink! That's cheating!

Food is what £4-£8? So an average of about £6?

Drink is what £3.50 give 20p or so?

Work it oot from there *

*please not narcotics may reduce food intake

£150 is a safe bet.

There is a cash machine if you get too messed up and end up buying hats & blow up couches ;p

[Guy Rope Tripper]

I usually take about £100 with me to festivals, take plenty of my own grub & booze though so that I'm not forking out fortunes for burger van food over the weekend

[Tokely]

about £300 - £350 but thats for 2 of us, gonna have to teach the mrs how to be a tea totaller lol

[Window Licker]

£150 should see you straight man, £50 a day will easily cover food, pints and other random shit e.g. hats, shades, t-shirt etc.

With booze and breakie back in your tent thats all your gona need.

That reminds me, I need to buy some Sterling, bastard Euro is weak as a jakeys bladder at the moment though

[preacherman_1]

Depends on festival, how long it's for. £50 a day is a good shout plus i'd normally take a tad extra just in case.

[rachbon]

i've spent less than £20 at a festival before and have spent about £200 at others. whatever you can afford to take, you'll manage on it if you have your own booze and food and you're not too bothered about buying t shirts etc.

i usually take about £170, and spend most of it. i like a cold pint of cider so buy quite a lot of booze and usually end up buying daft stuff like sunglasses and hats.

it's nice to be able to take loads of money and know you've got enough to buy whatever you like. but festivals can be done on the cheap.

Having a cracking time....................PRICELESS.

Sorry had to.

[rexclark]

I'll normally do the £50 a day and take a wee bit extra just incase. I like knowing I've got enough to buy whatever food, drink etc... and not have to worry about it.

[EileenAllardyce]

hmm.. I was thinking about taking £200 but not sure if that will be needed, as I will be steaming so hardly eat much but if I do I tend to just eat bits and bobs not full on meals.

[Iain333]

Think I spent 150 last year, so will take roughly the same again.

[PammyT]

I take about £100 and usually come back with plenty change, but that's because I mostly drink what i've brought and only buy a few drinks a day from the bars. Same with food, maybe buy one or two meals. If it's your first i'd go with the £50 a day and a bit more to be sure rule!

[Cosmo Kramer]

I think I've always taken £200 to TITP and always came back with a bit so I'll probably do the same for Rockness.

It's one of those things though, you could easily do it on a tight budget if you wanted.

[pinkartstudent]

Since my train tickets cost me £85... i may have less money that i would normally take.
