How much do you spend?

Just don’t expect any big names, they don’t book them

 

They did say in the feedback survey report that they were looking at increasing name value next year. Though doubt it'll ever become a focus.

You’re doing well to get all that for only 1500€

 

True, we've become quite prolific in getting value for our money. Tbf we're usually flying from Venice, so it's not like we're dropping a 1000 quid for intercontinental flights, but to put things into perspective, a Glasto week costs us about an average months salary.

It's easier to keep the spending down if you travel by car/campervan to take food and booze.  More difficult if you're going by coach and don't have mates to take stuff in.  I always choose to go by coach but am lucky enough to have mates going by car to take a copious amount of booze in for me.  Still spend a shitload on food and extra beers though!

The biggest outlay for me by far was buying everything like a tent the first time I went. My second time, probably spent around £300 if not a bit less and that’s with me taking in a fair amount of booze and occasionally buying a cold one. I’m one of those people that likes charging around the site and then randomly plonking down somewhere to have a tepid can and to drink the atmosphere in and then back off to charging around I go. 
 

Most of my money went on food and a few bits of merch. The food is great. The food is fuel. But definitely noticed that my overall spending was lower this year than last. 
 

by far the biggest investment was getting addicted to gym in the year after 2023, but that’s a general life thing and boy did I notice it this year!!! I was unstoppable until lights out at 6am.

The biggest outlay all weekend for us is food (unless of course you are drinking at the bars all weekend but assume most punters bring a lot of their own booze to offset). I've brought breakfast in the past but it's way too much of a faff so I'm not even going to bother this year. 

 

The reality is you can spend very little or an absolute fortune. The way I look at it is that it's once a year and you are bloody lucky to be there so make the most of it and indulge as much as possible.

I spend (after ticket and train fare) about £200 at the most, often less. That's on food, a couple of souvenir t-shirts and one or two drinks (I'm not a big drinker so would only have at most a couple of pints a day on top of a beer or two that I brought in myself).
