How much do you spend?

On average I'd say I go through between 30-50 quid a day so I budget 250 for the festival.

 

To be fair 80% of that probably goes on crumble.

Mrs P and I generally take £500 for the 5 days between us.  We usually come home with £75-100 left over.

TBF neither do I, but I do a festival that is more fun and several magnitudes more friendly and more loving, with almost 100% no twats.

Not sure about that- I was there

 

Definitely a far more chilled happy vibe though. Much less aggression than any other festival I’ve been to in the last two decades 

 

Assuming we are talking about Shambala, it is great but as I said in the Shamabla thread I did witness the worst aggression I've ever seen at a festival there this year. Was genuinely really bad and I dread to think what might have happened if a punter (large, biker, ex security) hadn't stepped in and dealt with it

Wow surprised about that. I take it that it was all dealt with and sorted in the end

Eventually. Security took a while to show up. The punter who intervened had it in hand until they got there. This is what I wrote in the Shambala thread

Having said all that about how good it was, I've just remembered I saw probably one of the most aggressive incidents I've seen at a festival. 

Outside Swingamajig on Saturday night, dunno what this guy was on but he'd clearly taken all of it. Don't know what started it. Possibly thrown out of the venue, I don't know. But he was really crazed, eyes all over the place, squaring up to Oxfam stewards and I think someone from the venue, getting right up into their faces. He didn't actually swing at anyone but he had that coiled spring, could explode at any moment vibe. Was trying to force his way back into the venue, absolutely couldn't be reasoned with. A customer (who looked like he could've torn this guy in two if he wanted to) then got involved and basically dealt with the guy until security turned up and cared him off.

Thankfully no actual physical violence but it can't have been nice for the stewards. The festival goer who intervened just looked annoyed that this prick has disturbed his night. Former festival security so it wasn't his first rodeo.
