How much Cash to a take?

[20/20]

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.

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

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....

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!

[Paadzer]

I usually bring about £150 but have never spent it all - spend it mainly on food and drinks

Aiming for about 300ish probs more

[markeee]

That's my plan. Including taking my own ale.

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.

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)?

I'm aiming to spend no more than 200 while I'm there, but we'll see

Got to say that I'm shocked by the amount some people are taking!

thing is, eating 3x a day takes a fair bit of dollar alone

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!

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.

[saratink]

im even looking forward to some of the FOOD!

Including sausages from the sausage fest and nachos with melted cheese mmm

tis yummah!!

[dan05delaney]

Me too, one year I spent £5

[Paadzer]

please explain how?

[Paadzer]

I will also be using money to donate at the Glastonbury World Cup

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!
