the deposit being non refundable would be a vastly unfair idea........you assuming when you say that the majority of people just `decided` not to go and not had circumstances come up where they literally couldn't.

 

Its not unreasonable to lose your deposit if you cannot attend due to reasons that are not the festivals fault.

Unfair, but entirely industry standard.

Luckily Glastonbury doesn't believe in doing unfair things that benefit them just because it's "industry standard".

A non refundable deposit is just about The Worst idea I've EVER heard.

Okay. But you're aware we already have one? There's a £15 non-refundable deposit, every year.

That's what I don't get - how people can object to the notion of a non-refundable deposit on principle when there already is one. All we're actually arguing about is how big it should be.

No-one's forcing anyone to put down a deposit.
