How much Cash to a take?

[amfy]

We have a cool box for sausages and bacon for the first couple of days. Usually stretches to 3 days tbh because we take them heavily frozen and because theres quite a bit of frozen stuff it does keep itself pretty cold for a good length of time. Then we're onto tins of bangers and beans, hash browns, & stuff like that.

We usually have proper stuff Thurs & Fri. Maybe a combination of fresh & tinned on Saturday depending on what the weather has done, tinned on Sunday & then on Monday morning it's the good old full english at Michael Wood services with real cutlery!!!!

in past years i've managed to do it on as little as a £100 and as much as a £1000 spending money so probably somewhere inbetween those two amounts this year

[philly_eds]

Load up and take own drinks and food supplies.. i reckon i only spent about 50/60 quid last year. Couple Hot meals per day.. no problem!

[Peetle]

I think it was 2003 I hadn't been for a few years and was worried about running out of dosh so I took about £300 and to my surprise only spent a bit over £100. I don't take my own food (apart from a few non-perishable snacks like muesli bars) or booze but only usually eat one decent meal per day. And I used to go on the Thursday.

I always go on the train and carry all my stuff on my back, meaning buying things in the markets isn't really an option, plus I'm not one of life's shoppers so I'll probably not spend much time there anyway.

150 and ale and abit of food

[barkley87]

I always take £150 and usually have a bit left over, and the only food i take is usually a box of cereal bars. I don't drink though.

I took £250 last year and ended up taking out another £100 (which I nearly spent too) but did give the designated driver about £20 for fuel and to cover 1/3 of the parking pass. So I reckon £300 should do it. I ate out every meal and drank like a fish every day with little or no regard for the cost. Didn't do any shopping though - not my thing.

[montjuic]

Okay, tell me if this is possible.

I have bought myself 3 crates of booze already (45 tinnies) and will be buying as much cereal bars/food that keeps as possible

I really want to do it on £100, I'm not interested in souveniers etc as I can't be arsed bringing them home.

Can I survive Wed-Sunday on £100 buying my dinners and the odd pint here and there?

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!

That's pretty much what me and my mates are aiming to do. Last year I think I took 200, shared a crate with my mate (went on the coach) and took a bottle of gin for myself and box of red wine that I shared with my other mate. Spent about £120 over the weekend (Weds night to Mon), and that was having a HEAVY one from the bars on Thursday night.

We also took 2 BBQ's and had bacon sandwiches 2 of the mornings.

Should be do-able this year on just £100

[sjmlcean89]

Im only taking 50 quid and plan to spend less than half, will more that stock up enough before hand!

[4AssedMonkey]

Would you recommend bringing some spirits then?

[jameshay1]

Rolf's money saving tip.

Breakfast ceral bar

Lunch Share an oggie with a mate.

Dinner, your too twated to worry about food by then.

£1 corn on the cob dudes are a life saver as well.

[Rosstitute]

£300 is ample money

[Arcane2]

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.

[smiley33]

get some JD and Red Bull

absolute loopy juice....

[montjuic]

I think I will take £100 with me but I will get paid on the Thursday so may well have to delve into July's budget from an ATM and just live on the breadline for another month.

This festival will be my ruin!

[Bobs]

I'm taking £50.. thats it.

But i get paid on the friday so will have a nice juicy £200 to tuck into then

[al_coholic]

Me & the Mrs will probably take £350 which is what I took last year, but only spent £240. We take our own breakfast and probably about half the booze we consume, and spend the rest on site, we treat it as a sort of holiday so I dont mind spending the extra cash.

This year I am taking more of my own beer though because I ran out last year
