I don't know about this year, as reports suggest it was tougher than before. But in previous years I fully believe it was higher than that.

Could Glastonbury continue to sell out if they didn't have mega headliners on all 3 nights? A shift to arena level headliners on 2 of the 3 nights at the Pyramid, and one mega act each year (carefully picked against other acts to try and split the crowd accordingly). I know they don't pay as much as other festivals, but the amount spent must be increasing fairly significantly? That might help the costs go a bit further.

I think there's a mindset issue that people need to get used to contactless payment being "check the amount, then tap". You're right people just trust it, but in the same way you should check your change if paying cash, people need to be more aware. (And most places should have it set up so they tap what you've bought, and the card reader calculates the amount due. Even the little Square reader I use for gigs does that. I put in "3 tickets" to the machine, not "£12" - which makes mis-keying much less likely). But on those as soon as you pay you get a notification on the phone you paid with telling you what was charged, so you should be able to query it pretty much right away. But again, people need to get into the mindset of actually checking and not just assuming. But you're far more likely to get it sorted having paid by card than if you got given a five instead of a twenty for change.

They spent more than a day going round the perimeter looking for opportunities but failed. They then contacted some dodgy people, who they were variously describing as scousers, Irish, travellers, who they paid to loan them a wristband which worked. You don't get to see the wristband in the video, but it was either one that the festival gives people who've lost their 'pass out' or some kind of workers band. They gave it back to the dodgy provider once they were in. Every person who's shown in the video will be in trouble, along with the company they work for. They're a big enough YouTuber that a video like this is guaranteed to go viral and be picked up by the festival and their security/stewarding contractors. At the very least, the people will not be asked back to Glastonbury. They could also lose any regular work they have with that contractor. This is absolutely in keeping with their YouTube channel - they just shove cameras in people's faces and post embarrassing/compromising videos of them without their permission. In this case, the footage of the security, stewards and 'travellers' was clearly done surreptitiously because they'd never have let themselves be filmed doing this stuff knowingly. Absolute vermin.
