i currently have a very limited amount of money, and i have early bird.
i was thinking that i'd probably take a lot of my own food and maybe only buy some chips once a day or something, and then i'm going to take a crate or two and possibly buy some in the arena? how much will this roughly cost and does anyone have any suggestions on how to save money/what's the lowest and highest amount of money you've spent?

Last year I took £100 and was also an earlybird. By sunday I had about £15 quid left so it's possible to do it on less. I ate whenever, sometimes 3 meals a day sometimes 1. Didn't drink much in the arena, think I bought 2 pints all weekend.

Just take some cereal bars for breakfast and some other stuff to snack on whenever you nip back to camp and you could comfortably do it on £80.

Having said that you could easily blow £250 if you had it so it's down to you personally and how you spend.

I would go for spirits. You can sneak in a 500ml bottle in with you and it will last you most of the day and is alot easier to sneak in than a few cans.

I took £100 last year, I had nothing at the end and I was early bird, however £30 of that was unexpected having to get the train home to look after 2 veryyy ill + still hungover friends.
I didn't buy any alcohol there, only vodka from tesco and what I took with me, water during the day i.e. in the arena, shared food during the day which kept the cost down, so really only ended up drinking alcohol and eating a good meal before and after the music starts.

A friend of mine spent £0.00 aswell. but mainly due to the fact i had a job and all the money and he had no job, spent around £220 (but we forgot a lot of stuff, Chairs, Etc) also bought fire wood, this year i'm taking 150£ and just taking a hip flask of JD into the arena will do me

The asda petrov vodka pouches are essential for me. Usually buy two bottles of fanta to mix (in the arena) and a couple of pints and I always end up in a very merry state.

you can get away with spending however much you like really, if you bring your own food and drink... i personaly normally bring £200 - £300

Buying a couple of these & some more vodka to refill them with!

I'd take £100 minimum.

Picked up two pouches of this so far. Think I'm going to take another 1L of vodka and a filter to refill them instead of buying more pouches. Great invention though. Those capri suns with screw on lids are just as good too!

Last year I only spent £60, all I paid for was firewood, travel, weed, a beer bong and a little bit of food. Took all my own drink and was more than happy with that, took about 80% of my own food and was more than happy with that too.
