thank you please
thank you please
People are going to have to chip in here, but my memory of the past two years is:
1) Cash only - a good thing
2) That they only have Tuborg and a bitter (John Smiths?) on tap in the arena. Both of which make you piss non-stop. It is pretty expensive - £4 a pint I think.
3) You can't bring drinks into the arena. The searches are pretty weak, but it's still a case of having to think about it, hide some cans in pockets etc etc. I know this is the case in almost all festivals, but it's still pretty annoying.
4) BArs/pubs (as in sit-down areas) are fairly small and limited in number. Don't expect to get much time there sipping on a cold vodka and coke.
Either way, I may have been too harsh earlier. It's the same as most festivals nowadays i.e. one beer 'sponsor' paying an aboslute ****-tonne of money to the festival, and festival=goers having to spend extortionate amounts for watery beer.
