How much do you think you spend at a festival?

[Joe!]

Hello All!

Just a quick question for a university project that I am doing and that is how much do you think you spend over the course of a festival weekend? (excluding ticket price)

It would be great if as many people as possible could answer this =]

Cheers

Joe

300.

Depends on the festival. At Reading I only spend £30 because all I needed to buy was a programme and food & beer from Tescos. Glasto, I'll probably eat more festival food, so will probably go over £100 at least.

So how much I spend depends on what the festival food is like and how convenient it is to get to a supermarket.

Hey, I've only done the last 2 Glastonbury's, but I've averaged in at £200 each time. But I take my own booze, and only have two smallish meals each day ...

Peace x

2 smallish meals a day?!? I normally have around 4 at Glasto! Any kind of amazing food you can think of (but that's a whole other thread..)

I probably take and spend around £200. But I also take a lot of booze and other assorted items with me that bumps that up a fair amount. Maybe £300? So about £500 including ticket?

Bargain really

I'vr been to 2 so far and take £200 cash and usually come away with significant change.

That's based on being there from Thursday and having 2 meals and a few pints a day

Meals tend to be between £4 and £6 and pints I can't remember - £3 or £3.50 for Gaymers or Tuborg i think but 3 Brothers festi-strength for £10 for sure though. Cosmic!

I'd recommend taking extra cash then you don't have to waste time (and £2 a time) getting it on site.

[srvman]

averages about 300 for me and all my mates...5 days of food and drink is going to be 150 quid if you eat 3 meals a day, not including alcohol...

[spikytom]

i usually take about 300 and am always surprised by how much i have left by the end!

[Pinhead]

£250, but typically only get through about 60% of that since I bring lots of homebrew which cuts alcohol costs. Eat little there too - only buy 1 meal a day really. Seldom buy much stuff either - maybe the off T-Shirt, CD, objet d'art.

I take rum and just add to coke for during the day. we also take food for cooked breakfasts whilst we're there.

I spend some money on booze (you've got to have the ciders), and one major meal a day. Last year spent only £80 - and that was spending freely! I think I spent about £120 the year before.

I always take about £200 though - I never like to feel I'm on a budget when i'm there.

[souldancer]

I usually take about £500 but dont always spend it. I like to have more than I need just incase I wanna buy a tshirt or something stupid depending on the mood or state Im in. There's so many choices of food to buy so I dont bother taking any with me.

Its like a holiday so I take more than I need so you dont have too worry then.

[Mel & Claire]

Less than £100. But then I don't drink, and only spend it on a t-shirt, 2 meals a day and fruit juice concoctions.

[mattrgee]

£40 - £50 a day is what I tend to spend.

[firstglasto]

Last year i spent £350. Totally worth it

[2/Z]

took 300 two years ago and ran out quite early on the sunday. took 400 to the last one and brought back 60. i only take 1 bottle of spirits with me so its all spent on food and beer.

[Beaver89]

Just a quick reaction to that statement. I used the free cash machines near the farm on Saturday afternoon and walked straight in and out no queue at all.

[Billy09]

£250 is more than enough for Wednesday moring to Sunday night. I take no food other than a packet of biscuits, and eat like a king from he stalls. I carry a 500ml pop bottle which I decant wine into from a box in my tent every time I'm there, and supplement my ale/lager/cider with this if I'm not near a bar.

[ninja-style]

WOOOOW

I cant believe how much you guyas spend.

I went last year for the first time.

I took around £70

we took all our own beer

With £15 a day you can easily get two meals

bring a bit of food with you and all your beer and you can do it for that cheap, or cheaper.

Worst comes to worst there is always he free daal at the harri krishna tent.....

[thelizardking]

last year i got from wednesday to sunday, eating 3 good meals a day, with £100. bearing in mind i brought all my alcohol with me.
