Bar Prices predictions 2022

[Jimmyjam1]

I'm going with:

£7.50 a pint

£15 for double with mixer

No idea about cocktails or wine as I never drink them. 

What's your predictions? 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Not a chance pints are £7.50.

They’ll break the £5 mark though, probably around £5.50.

[nikkic]

Anybody remember what a pint was in 2019? 
 

 

[she bangs the drums]

Based on sporting events we will be looking at £6.50 to £7 a pint 

[Avalon_Fields]

From the festival website: 'The prices are equivalent to London pub prices'

So, expensive then.

[Enda Krabappel]

Can’t see pints being above £6. £5.50 is a good shout.

[Avalon_Fields]

The Avalon Inn 2019 was £6 a pint, other bars were around £4.50 - £5 (From an earlier thread)

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Regarding doubles/mixers, I don’t think I’ve ever bought one at Glastonbury. I buy plenty of pints for the coldness, but you can bring more than enough spirits to last the whole weekend. I am partial to a Bloody Mary though, especially from the place with the cage and the singer above it.

If I remember right latitude and reading were over £6 for tuborg😨 lager which is well above London prices..we tended to buy out of the co-op and smuggle in 

[stuartbert two hats]

I'm going for 6-6.50. 

[stanh]

£5.50-6.50 is my guess, although, at the Manchester Arena last night pints were £7-8 a pop

[FloorFiller]

£6.50 will be the average price for a pint at your every day bar I reckon. Really can’t imagine them breaking the £7 mark just yet, although that’ll probably come next year.

£6 plus is pretty standard for London these days. 

I paid almost £8 for a can of Guinness in Brixton Academy!

Didn’t we do this a fortnight ago?

Yeah, best Bloody Mary on site. Have one every day to kick things off

We do every thread every two weeks 🙃

10quid for a double surely cant be 15? That is insane pricing. Tho i guess wine is 7 quid q large glass so maybe. Dunno. Just 3 doubles almost 50quid seems absolutely criminal 😳

Clearly I'm spoilt at Anfield were it has remained at £2.80 for, admittedly, Carlsberg.

They pay you 😉

Cant argue with that price though. 

Found myself not paying £3 for a crunchie ice cream today.

I too walked away from an expensive Magnum at Chester Zoo today. I'm getting frugal in my age.

For what it's worth, I think it will stick around £5.50/£6 a pint. More to the point, how much are the mixers going to be in the co-op this time round!? 😂

I'm also curious about festival co-op prices, specifically for cans of Thatchers cider. If there's not too much of a premium, I might forgo carrying 10+kg of cider in on the train/coach.

Co-op don't do alcohol, I think they only sell it at festivals with separate camping & arena.

I'm expecting £6-6.50 for a pint, £10 for a double.

Well damn. Carting boxes of cider half across the country it is then...

The co-op was good for mixers - £1 a can - in 2019, and great for bags of ice at £2/2.50. Most things in there were 'regular' prices, but they won't sell alcohol as it detracts from the bars.

That's why I drink spirits!
