How much Cash to a take?

[Madyokel]

We aimed on about £50 a day for th 2 of us..

Seemed to work out well.. Mind we took some drinks with us..

[BeeMac]

Was just having a chat to my sis who is a glasto virgin this year, she wondered about how much mullah to take and if there was cash machines there.... I have never used the cash machine, take roughly £200 which lasts me fine, but I told her the Q's at the m/c's can be horrendous, was wondering if any of you peeps know if the cash machines stay open through the night, are they 24hrs??

She gets paid during the festival and thinks she might need a top up.......

The Atm's used to be kinda supervised so they closed at night...I think...but not anymore...correct me if I'm wrong...I'm torn between being economical and taking no food/drink with me and having a complete blow out! Please advise?

[hans_gatwick]

I generally take £150 or so, although this year, due to me being a financial dum-ass, i am only taking £120, i don't buy anything but food and maybe a cold pint or two a day becasue i should be bringing my own booze

[ukslim]

What would Trotsky do if he went to Glastonbury?

[GingerRock]

I imagine me and the missus will take a couple of hundred each. Might bring some home if we're lucky but not much. She'll be buying all sorts of hippy jewelery, pictures of cows, and so on. I'll be buying beer and food only.

[Richk109]

Around £200 for me and hopefully I'll bring some back.

We're taking booze and food so should be ok.

[sonny]

I'm going to try and see how far £100 quid will get me, but after a few drinks I am just going to want to buy crap.

[saratink]

the only crap i buy tends to be a couple of £2 or £3 bangles that i tend to buy at the begining of the festival and wear for the duration

Food is quite costly and so is drink!

[dirty_dog]

take a big bag of whiz and you don't need to worry about food.

[Dirty_Dave]

MMm, do not drink and buy

Me and a friend bought another friend a 2 ft stained glass and brass Morrocan lampshade for her birthday that unfortunately fell when we were there.

She absolutely loved it but was cursing a bit when it came to carrying it back to the car.

[sizzlefee]

I'm going to take £200 i think which gives me £40 a day for food/drink. I am taking ALOT of beer though and some spirits!

[sonny]

Haha, Its like dont smoke green and go food shopping, the bill at the end is crazy!

"a 2 ft stained glass and brass Morrocan lampshade"....WTF!! By Marrocan you mean, straight from East London market. Good effort though!!

[-pogo-]

Organise some sort of massacre.

(I had believed Trotsky was one of the good ones, then I read a bit about Russian history )

[4AssedMonkey]

Wooo Hoooo!

Just counted up my Glasto fund (a whisky bottle tin that I've been throwing change in since about November last year) and guess what? A gnat's pube short of £300! That's me sorted an the missus is well happy that I won't have to dent the savings. Life's good.

[Paadzer]

It's not asking how much money you spend though - it's asking how much money you take.

If I take a 6.99 bottle of vodka with me -firstly that's not money i'm taking, and secondly, it's the equivalent of about 90 quid in shots bought off stalls!

Like I said - i had 200 in my pocket last year and would've spent it if I'd wanted but I never had the need to, and I didn't scrounge off anyone & I didn't do without anything I wanted either!

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

[The Cat]

£400 same as last year didn't quite spend it all though,not taking any beer or food so £80 a day is about right say 10 beers £4 a hit that's half gone with out eating plus tons of ways to waste money at galsto

[Alan L]

I reckon I'll be bringing £300-350 to the festival itself.

Flying down to Bristol on the Tuesday, so will lift £400 out then, have a decent meal, a few pints and buy some supplies. Whatever is left from that should be enough to last the five days.

I've based this on various other festivals, however i'm a first timer at Glastonbury. With limited scope for brining my own drink, this could end up being horribly short.

You should be fine with that amount, last year was my first and I spent £350 on alcohol and some food . I could of done it on alot less as I took booze with me but hardly touched it the whole festival,but it was my first time and I didn't care what I was spending.I will probably end up doing the same this year.

[Spindles]

Last year I had £220 when I walked through the gate, I ate a couple of meals a day, bought a sunhat and enjoyed a few drinks each day, walked out with a tenner for petrol and enough for 2 ice creams. I didn't go mad, budgeted well and only just made it. This year I'm taking my daughter, was previously aiming for £400 but now looking like I may have as much as £600. I don't intend to spend it all, but I have done LOADS of skint festivals for years and it will be great to be able to eat or drink whenever I want to without worrying I'll be starving come sunday.
