Superscally Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I just can't believe anyone in their right mind would actually pay 1500 quid for a tent outside the gates. What the f**k? Mental. Actually mental. You could get a hotel and have someone taxi you to and from it for that? Also...it's a sh*t experience. I won't have anyone tell me Love Fields is cool. It's not. You know it. I know it. We know it. Get in the sea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelin Posted July 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 If you know of a hotel and an easy way to get a taxi that’s less than that please do share as it’s another idea. People can camp where they want with their honest money. Sometimes things just happened and they take the wind out of your sail and things have to be adjusted accordingly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it last year after about 20 years of pitching our own tent in family camping at Cockmill. It’s not cheap £1300 for an 8 man tent but having your car parked so close to tents was a god send. Also not stuck in a queue for hours before going into the Festival was a big bonus. How were the toilet and shower queues? I stayed at Worthy View last year and was a bit disappointed by the facilities. Might have a think about Tangerine fields if they manage that a bit better… also has the bonus of being able to book as soon as you have a ticket and not waiting around for second “T-day..” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpes vulpes Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 My mate stayed in an airbnb in Glastonbury village last year. as due to circumstances our usual group was not there. He did Glastonbury solo. he got the bus in and lift or taxi home. He said quite a few locals offer up their houses, there were a fair few people doing just what he was doing in the same street.

Alvoram Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 This is how much places are charging on airbnb for next year… Per night!!! (For 6) Can get cheaper further out, but part of the appeal of love fields is how close it is. Closer than the camper van fields, it’s even closer to most of the action than some of the free general camping fields… The whole “outside the festival” thing, whilst technically true, really is utter bollocks when it comes to LF. The whole glamping debate will rage on these forums every year. But every year more camp sites pop up, and more and more people use them. Good job really, given how tight general camping is becoming as people bring bigger tents and more and more bring event shelters and gazebos.

Jay Pee Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Glastonbury is meant to be an effort. Physically and emotionally. The amount of folk wanting an easy life and are not prepared to burn some calories and are happier burning good money is a bit odd. Aren't we in recession? Hell will freeze over before I consider spending 4 times what I could spend to attend so someone can wipe the toilet seat for me. My barometer is pretty basic. Our new (ish) neighbours are developing into quite the post code arseholes. They go in Worthy View every year. It's not scientific but the jigsaw pieces fit together.

balti-pie Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Bleh, let people spend money on what they like. If they have the £££ then go for it: there’s no such thing as a ‘proper’ Glastonbury or ‘what you should be doing’, it’s up to people to decide for themselves. I could lose my sh*t about people spending £120 on a T-shirt with a tiny black logo or whatever, but that’s up to them. You do you. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not stuck in a queue for hours before going into the Festival was a big bonus. We've done Tangerine Fields about 6 times now as it works well for us. Slightly further walk out of Gate B to the campsite than from Gate C back to Lovefields but for around the same price (£750 for a pre-erected 4-man tent) it's a comparable option. Parking is in the next field and the only mild ballache is having to lug your stuff over some steps that clear a hedge in between. Other than that it's great....especially the Blue Route drive in and the exit which takes you out North to the A361 rather than joining the main flow out of general East car/van parking. We only live in Frome admittedly but we leave TF at 1200 and are on our driveway in Frome at 1230. Oh, and we avoid the need for trips back during the day by chucking a bag with warm stuff into the lockup to pick up before the evening fun kicks off.

No mate, you’re the one being stuck up, listen to yourself ‘proper Glastonbury.’ Such a ‘Proper Glastonbury’ chap you clearly don’t even know where Love Fields is. The entrance to love fields is directly at Gate C, less than 20 m from the gate, (as a guess.) Campervan folk pass right by it on their way back to their camper vans.

blutarsky Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Love Fields isn’t provided by the festival Rob, it’s outside the festival grounds. I think what they offer actually seems pretty good but I’ll be f**ked if I’m ever spending that amount. Even if I was a billionaire I’d not do it, on principle. People are free to choose whether to splash out on it or not, in the knowledge they’re lining the pockets of a private landowner. It isn’t really in line with the festival’s original roots but times have changed. There weren’t 210,000 punters in 1970. The “it increases inclusivity” argument is BS.

Yadda yadda yadda tory tory tory, that’s always the default response isn’t it? I voted Green, previously Labour and have never voted Tory, not that it’s anything to do with you or the festival. I also grew up in a single parent family on a council estate, I’ve worked f**king hard to be able to afford holidays (including glasto) but that’s also none of your f**king business, as your past is none of mine. (I didn’t ask) I’m also a middle aged white male, but I’m not so stuck up that I turn my nose up at people who want to, and are able to, pay for things I don’t or can’t! That is why you’re coming across as stuck up. Also, I said middle aged, I didn’t mention class 😉 but that’s clearly your problem here… You’re just another person who thinks anybody that works hard to afford the things they WANT to pay for, must be middle class. Here’s the thing, the clue is in the title ‘working’ class. Some of us work 60-80 hours a week to be able to enjoy our down time. Most people on Love fields were working class, but hard working families enjoying their down time (I don’t know about the posher, more expensive part of love fields that was fenced off to even us… I’d imagine if you’re looking for Middle Class, you may find a higher concentration in there. But I don’t know, as I never entered.) £1500 between 6 is £250… I assume you’ve done those maths? And I assume therefore, you have the same issue with the similar priced tipis, Worthy View and Sticklinch… Right? f**k the Eavis, charging over £200 per person for glamping!!! Inclusivity, well if you can’t see how the various different camping options help those go who otherwise wouldn’t bother, then there’s not really much more to explain there, I would have thought that it was glaringly obvious. I don’t care if you go or not, why would I suggest you don’t go? You do you, and let others do them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I didn’t ask) I’m also a middle aged white male, but I’m not so stuck up that I turn my nose up at people who want to, and are able to, pay for things I don’t or can’t! That is why you’re coming across as stuck up. Also, I said middle aged, I didn’t mention class 😉 but that’s clearly your problem here… You’re just another person who thinks anybody that works hard to afford the things they WANT to pay for, must be middle class. Here’s the thing, the clue is in the title ‘working’ class. Some of us work 60-80 hours a week to be able to enjoy our down time. Most people on Love fields were working class, but hard working families enjoying their down time (I don’t know about the posher, more expensive part of love fields that was fenced off to even us… I’d imagine if you’re looking for Middle Class, you may find a higher concentration in there. But I don’t know, as I never entered.) £1500 between 6 is £250… I assume you’ve done those maths? And I assume therefore, you have the same issue with the similar priced tipis, Worthy View and Sticklinch… Right? f**k the Eavis, charging over £200 per person for glamping!!! Inclusivity, well if you can’t see how the various different camping options help those go who otherwise wouldn’t bother, then there’s not really much more to explain there, I would have thought that it was glaringly obvious. I don’t care if you go or not, why would I suggest you don’t go? You do you, and let others do them. 😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
