Quite an interesting article; very surprising to see the average age of an attendee of Reading be over 35.

It's quite sad really; the youth of today can't even afford youth culture.

Average age of festival goers:

1) T In The Park - 37 years seven months

2) Glastonbury - 36 years eight months

3) Isle of Wight - 36 years one month

4) Reading and Leeds - 35 years eight months

OH GOD IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED

The research, conducted by MSN used a sample of 2,000 people in the UK

Hahaha what a load of shit

[Andy0808 v3.0]

The perks of having used statistics in my dissertation and knowing about the pros and cons of sampling haha.

2000 people interviewed when discussing festivals that combined have an attended of way over 400,000.

[the wonderwhy]

Plus, nobody under 30 even goes anywhere near MSN anymore anyway.

[Yellow_Fellow]

New DEP is pulling some fantastic reviews.

Come on Reading, tell me you booked them...

[LondonTom]

Jesus...

Breakdown of what festival goers expect to pay for a UK festival - £423.01:

£103.66 on a ticket

£80.02 on food and drink

£71.61 on camping gear

£60.70 on transport

£49.67 on wet weather gear

£57.35 on festival fashion and dress-up

That seems crazy to me. OK, the smaller ones are cheap, but not many weekend festivals go enough under £100 to get the average that low surely?

Surely camping gear and wet weather gear are one-off purchases that you make every 4-5 years if that? I'm still camping in the same tent as I was back in 2006, although I'm tempted to buy a new one for this year.

And £57.35 on fashion and dress-up? Seriously. Fucking trendies.

[Com Truise]

£80 on food? I spend about £20 in Lidl the week beforehand

[ladbrokeboy]

id say i end spending just over 300 but 220 of that is on the ticket

Yeah Food and Drink seems about right to me, if your buying all your food there your looking at least 15 quid a day. (Mind with the free bap and shit choice at Reading, I think I only done about a tenner a day on just food).

The rest seems wildly off. (Maybe Transport, but would depend on the festival for most I guess.)

[Andy0808 v3.0]

NME have actually published an article on their website in regards to that survey, do they have anyone at that company who isn't as thick as shit?

[Andy0808 v3.0]

For me;

Around £200 on ticket.

£110 on Food and Alcohol.

Camping gear is every few years but about £65

£40 for travel

£0 on we weather stuff

£0 on festival fashion

If i buy new clothes before a festival i don't intend to have them exclusively for that festival.

[mrtourette]

As a non-camper my usual weekend expenditure would be £60 food, £50 tabs and £150 booze.

[Asdaprice]

I probably spend about 350 overall including tickets, but once I'm there I don't usually worry about what I'm spending. If I want a beer and a burger for 13 quid then hell I will!

[sjseabass]

I've never bought alcohol at a festival. Out of 9 days of music I've been at Reading for, I've only had a drink on one of those days (my own vodka and my mate's rum). Does this make me weird?

[Andy0808 v3.0]

I always treat myself to a couple of cold pints of cider each day at festivals. usually regret it though when i realise i've spent 26 quid on 6 pints

[adam1234]

I would say

£210 ticket

£60 food overall taken with and bough at the festival

£40 camping equipment usually leave it there

£150 alcohol taken with and bought there

£0 wet weather gear and festival clothes only

wear old stuff

Was just talking to my cousin's friend (year 11) on his Facebook status about how good Nine Inch Nails will be at Leeds, and his friend bursts in with "It's all about the Sunday, johnny marr, Palma violets, jake bugg" and then "That sounds like a perfect day, Palma violets are gonna be the best band all weekend". Wow, people actually think these things?

[Dead throne]
