  2. The Festival's Not What It Used to Be

    in Chat

    No one is, I think, trying to say that all heath and safety is unnecessary, they're saying much of it goes waaaay too far.

    For example, at the last Glastonbury there was the 'Glastonbury World Cup' done by some members of these forums. I'm not trying to demean it in any way, but at the end of the day it was nothing more than a kick around in the park. The guys who organised it had to do a written risk assessment before the Festival said it could happen.

    Spontaneity of any and all kinds is now specifically excluded by the licence.

    Not all 'progress' is good.

    value is a subjective judgement.

    To someone who experienced it at the much-cheaper prices of the past, it can seem very expensive nowadays - because it is. "Festival inflation" has been running at 10+%, while inflation in general over the last 20 years has been nearly always less than 5%.

    So in relative terms it's much more expensive than it used to be, and therefore it's less good value than it used to be too.

    well the problem isn't the people that go then is it, the problem is all of the people that need to be paid to make the event happen as if everybody did it for free, from the cleaners to the artists, then there would need to be no charge, so you need to start petitioning those people, not the punters.

    And he's not exactly crowing about his wealth is he, he is stating the cost of standard camping in the country compared to the cost of the festival in response to your statement that it is extortionate, which it clearly isn't, unless you're harping on about the days when it was all free and everything should be free for everybody.

    Do you volunteer your own good services at the event?

    I bet he does,t , and as Neil has pointed out it was never free some one paid manly arabella with out her it would never have become what it is now which is quite simply the best in the world . period

    As someone who goes camping for hollidays and goes to gigs i'm baffled by the term used extorsionately priced.

    One man one tent any campsite in june £17 per night cheepest field no toilet no water.£38 most family site,s =£85--£190

    gigs most around 2hours,£35--£150.

    HOW THE HELL CAN FIVE DAYS CAMPING MORE THAN YOU COULD DO IN A YEAR GOING ON 24hrs A DAY AND NEARLY 60 STAGES OF TOP ACTS BE EXPENSIVE AT £195.

    I have to add i see my ticket fee as paying for the organisation and infastructure to be set up and taken down paying for acts , the fest is free u can do or see what you want, theres no extra charge to say entre avalon etc.
