I took £90, but, having brought my own booze and food, spent just £19!    It was on the occasional pint of cider or some hot food when I felt like treating myself. I've never spent such a small amount of money at a festival before, I was somewhat shocked to say the least!
I know someone who spent £300, and someone else who spent £600!! That's just mad.

How much did you guys spend?

[Man drew]

Worked out about 150 when i was in there and 50 on booze to take in!

[When Jokers Attack]

About 150 i think

[Jutt69]

Me and the misses spent about £500

Plus £80 to get there

Plus £400 on tickets

That's an average Glasto spend for us.

[markeee]

prob about 400

then more for ticket, travel and of course my own booze

[johnmcga]

Just over £200 I think.

But then I bought all the food and drink I had while I was there (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks every day plus booze, coffee, etc).

I'll feel it this month, but I think it's worth it - I love the Glasto food and it's all part of the experience for me. Plus I come on the train and can't be arsed with lugging tonnes of booze / food / a stove with me.

Cheers,

John.

PS: £19?! That is pretty impressive!

Took £300.00 cash and took another £120.00 out of cashpoint nr Jazzworld area.

Then again, I was buying almost everyone I talked to drinks. I'm like that.

I too spent much less than planned.

Without really trying I spent only £120 or so. I had £200 with me.

However had every bar been selling Brothers Strawberry Cider I think I could have easilly spent a lot more.

I took £200 and only spent £105! That was at last count yesterday morning. I did then buy two bottles of water for £1 each (bargain!), a plate of cous cous with chilli for £3, 2x Q Reviews and a mag, some snacks and a Mcd's on the way home, so that all brought my spent up by quite a bit!

On the way to Blur all the stalls had stuff discounted. I got a Burger for £2.50!!  
I was so impressed I nearly bought two.

However forgot to buy a Q review.... hope the big poster is in the one available in the outside world.

[chuckley]

about £60 as had to pay train fare there in the end which ate into low funds.  only bought food there a few times... wasnt in the mood to eat the food there.

[rustybutcher]

only 30 quid.  mostly on brothers and a couple of growlers

[solarfall]

I took £100 with me and came back with £30 change.

Cashback.

[greg1999]

think i spent about 250-300 quid.

[NeilVJ]

Took £250 but only spent about £200. The fact that you could take in your own booze to main stages was not something I was expecting and saved me cash. However like someone else said if there was a brothers bar next to the pyramid and other stage I would have spent a lot more.

[Spindles]

Took £120, got home with 70p

[BeddyDriver]

ouch we took a grand, not wanting to go without anything we wnted, and due to the fact that we are not having a summer holiday this year !

In the end we got through 650 quid, but was for 4 of us, and we all came home with quite  a few souvenirs to be fair so not too bad !  Missus then spent 30 quid of the remainder at the local laundrettte yesterday evening ! so as not to clog up our own washing machine availability for the next 3 weeks !!

[Aragorn]

£240 between me and the missus - tool all our own booze though

[spammachine]

Around £200 between me and my wife. All booze and extras were bought before-hand and we only bought drink/food there - no extra tat/t-shirts etc.
We had a B&B on the Tuesday, but overall, it was a pretty cheap Glasto.

[markeee]

wow some of you managed to spend very little
did you all just take shedloads of drink
or just not drink much?!
