chappiepunk Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you take a camp chair in with you for a sit down you can stash stuff in the bag with the chair. I managed to get a 2ltr bag of wine, 3ltr bag of Westons Vintage cider (£7 from Tesco!) & about 4 cans into the arena. Also managed to get 4 cans up each trouser leg once by balancing them on top of each other & walking like John Wayne. I have never been caught.

Mega Ross Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I got away with having 4 cans stuffed in the side pockets of my shorts 3/5 times over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I do find myself doing the picking up cups thing now - after mass exoduses from the NME tent - usually if I'm quick I can get a pints worth and then get an ale - having the real ale bar there meant I was tempted to drink this year - usually it's a couple of pear ciders (if they're on sale) and that's it for that day I can't drink lager or the apple cider.

Mega Ross Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) It's extortionate I'll agree but I adopt a no expense spared policy for reading. I figure the other 360 days of the year I'm constantly trying to stay within budget, usually overdrawn and worrying about money. And I haven't had a holiday in several years so 5 days at reading I just go "to hell with it" and usually end up spending £250 odd over the 5 days on food, fags, drink and merchandise. Worth every penny as well. Last year most of my cups went to my mate Lee in the banana suit, stored them in the bottom of the banana and saved himself a few quid. I don't bother with it personally.

rustysub Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Think you're right,you have to allocate a shedload of cash to get hammered; being hammered is maybe why I thought RHCP were good in '07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemo Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I think this is the approach I need to take this year, I only had a pint or two at the bar over the weekend & faffing around in your tent for food & drink makes you miss stuff, even if it is nice to have a rest for half an hour. But this year I'll just buy stuff in the arena to save myself a walk. Anyone have any feedback on those roast dinner in a yorkshire pudding devices I still fancy one of those to this day, they as good as they look?

rustysub Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Apparently the Yorkshire puds are delicious, my lads & daughter swear by them. I normally fill my face with a chicken burger when I stop to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Ross Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's pretty damn good considering it's van food. All about the steakwiches though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I find worrying about money at a festival ruins it so I always make sure I take a load of money & have enough for emergancies. I like being able to buy my mates a drink if they run out of dollar. So long as they pay me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Ross Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 if you flirt with the serving girls (blond mum & daughter in the arena facing the stage) you get a few scoops more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
