20/20 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 We manage on about £3-400 for the two of us. We take enough food and beer for Wed/Thu/Fri then start spending on Saturday. If you have been nailing it properly, you won't want much other than food by Sat anyway. Add on extras for fags, 'sweets', petrol, snacks, a bite at the services etc etc.We usually take more cash, but it feels so good when you arrive at the services on Monday and you still have a few crisp tenners in your wallet. No queuing! And you feel like you have saved money too. What better to spend it on? An overfilled, overpriced and over-commercialised Burger King after 5 days of green living at Glastonbury, bizarre!To be honest, by the time you add your tickets, your booking/registration/parking fees, your assorted Lidl and Milletts bills, your spenders, that new festival outfit/hat, and your new trolley....And it is a f**kload of money.

boddingtons Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 If you don't eat then you you don't need to experience the Turdis's or long drops. Seriously if you happen to be a volume beer/cider drinker then bringing a huge carryout is the only way (unless money is no object). Food wise 2 meals per day should be enough (brunch and dinner) and if you need to ask then breakfast = beer/cider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexclark Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'll probably take abou £250, thats £50 a day which should be enough. Might take a bit more if I want a T Shirt etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherboa Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 We took £300 each last year and that was enough for us, mind you we didn't buy too much from the markets, most of it went on food and drink. I find getting decent meals helps (not just burgers and chips) I ate veggie all week last year and that filled me up so I didn't eat too much! There was a great veggie place near jazz world, yum!We took some spirits with us and I would recommend buying a bottle of wine (or as I call it Loopy Juice) from those wine bar places, gets you happily drunk and lasts longer than a pint! This year we are taking crates of beer with us so that should help with the spending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Am I the only one on here who is surprised by how economical some people are? I'm a bit of a drinker and that's where most of mine goes (plus I have a habit of buying other peoples drinks when pissed) but talk of £100 or £150 for the WHOLE festival? No way could I do that! I treat it as 5 days/nights out on the trot and a good day and night out on the beer with food will cost me £50 - £75 on average. So £250 - £350 is probably the going rate IMO.

Guest musiclove123 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) As much as you can take! I know there used to be a Natwest bank up near the farm (as far as I am aware it's still there)? Edited June 2, 2010 by musiclove123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 That's true but I only have 2 meals a day at home anyway, so won't be eating that often at Glasto. Booze however is a different story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geztival_09 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 You say that now, but once you've tried the delicious food, combined with the legendary beer munchies and you'll be eating like a pig at a trough! I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amfy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Right no offence to anyone here , but you cant do glasto on less than a 100 quid if you are there for the week. I cant see it working, not without spending the whole time sponging off other people/mates. Which tbh aint exactly fair. I know some bring everything with them and do it military fasion...but you still need that all important cash to fall back on...god knows what gonna happen!i fear im being to aggressive ...but i f##king HATE sponges!
