You would think someone would have finally sorted this out after 41 years wouldnt you and seen a niche market that could easily be filled!?!

Last year we were buying bags of ice from the ice crean vans for a tenner a bag. Ouch.. considering they were Lakeland Party ice bags which come from my home town and usually sell for £1 :angry:

if they can do it at Burning Man - surely they could at Glastonbury

[ukslim]

sure...but is Burning Man as considerate of energy mis-use as Glastonbury is..?

[saratink]

nope.

Figure out a fair price, and get it done. Ice will sell. People will buy it regardless of the weather, so long as the price is not outrageous. If it's hot the whole weekend, it will sell even quicker. Besides, if they're marking it up, they won't need it all to sell, yet still come out on the positive side.

It is far less energy efficient to have to have to freeze a f**kton of ice at home, transport it all the way to the festival, and have 3/4s of it melt before it even gets used. I would buy it onsite.

But if it is a wet one (which it wont be ) they would sell very little! I think thats why it hasnt been done on a large scale

Agreed. It is a weekend of hedonism after all, and no matter how much some people try to claim otherwise, energy efficiency is far down the list of priorities.

I would buy ice whatever the weather. Drinking whisky without ice just doesn't work for me.

Winter or summer all my cold drinks have to be ice cold. But I can survive for 6 days without

They sold it at the 24hr general stores, haggle with the price, they sell it in paper cups at like £1 per cup or something but we always sent the girls and they managed for about 50p a cup...

I specifically remember picking it up at the yellow store the opposite side of the brothers bar (next to the carribean food stall I think) by West Holts stage. Another one was on the way towards pyramid stage tucked in the far right corner.
