In some ways it’s an unfortunate consequence of Glastonbury waiting as long as they possibly could to push the ticket price over £300. If people had gotten used to the ticket prices being extortionate when they headliner trios like they had in 2017, for example, it would’ve seemed a lot less galling than paying £370 for The 1975 and Sam Fender.
Just to check, you can buy different camping options after you've bought the main ticket right? If I get the Combi ticket now in the presale then I can decide camping a bit later once I've worked out group size and whether I want to take my own tent or one of the pre-pitched options?
Yes and that’s true of any festival which traditionally pays in ‘exposure’ rather than cold hard cash. Big Weekend and the Capital Ball events are the same, their lineups are pathetic compared to what they used to be able to announce when there was a monoculture.
Oh yeah I agree, that smaller paycheck but with the added ‘esteem’ means a lot less than it did a decade or so ago. Artists want the bag and Glastonbury just can’t deliver on that and i think expectations are gonna have to be lowered a bit for future additions, or at least on a year on year basis.
