ruby.10 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi everyone, I am currently in my last year of Uni studying Events Management and I am doing my dissertation looking at how peoples motivational factors have changed and how festivals are now a more commercial experience rather than the celebration of music. I would really appreciate if you could answer a few questions for my survey will only take a few minutes! Would love to hear peoples opinions on the topic and if anyone knows any good contacts in the festival industry that I could email or any articles online I could reference in my dissertation that would be much appreciated!

grumpyhack Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Done but I can't see what you get from the questions. My reasons haven't changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt2007 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 It feels weird that you seem to be comparing Glastonbury with V. Like comparing a non league side against a premier one...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoonerRob Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Done. Just out of interest... what's the hypothesis for your dissertation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fur_q Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) I've completed it but if I were you I would not use this in final year degree level project as to me it shows you haven't done any investigation into qualitative research methods so I'm not sure it will add anything to your project.

Thearg Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Really struggling to see the point of that,I can't see what you would gain from the same question over and over,my answers were identical apart from I've never been to V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Done, but like others have said, I can't see what you will get from my answers. I've not been to V and my reasons for attending festivals has not changed. It would be nice if you could return to the thread and explain your thinking.

clarkete Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 It's fairly common isn't it:- Register new account. Post survey, which invariably has some elements which people think are questionable or imprecise. Some folks complete the survey and add their comments to the thread. The original poster doesn't respond. Next time we should all get together and put in the same answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richi1988 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 You need to set that up in a way that if I answer no I don't have to fill anything in on the next question. Have you attended Glastonbury?.... No (next year!) yet I can not complete the survey without answering about attending, makes no sense.

toppo Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Was going to do this as usually do but when the OP can't even be arsed to answer genuine questions posted by forum members I shan't waist my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's an odd research method as you know nothing about the people completing it other than they are from a festivals forum. You have no information on the demographics so I can't see how any information gained would quantifiable for a dissertation level piece. It just screams of "I like going to festivals...so I'll just do my dissertation on that", which will lead to you having a panic in a couple months time when you realise there's not enough body and opinion to give a decent final piece. Sorry to be negative. I'm sure it's great and you'll be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I just did the survey. I'd scrap it. I'm, not even sure it's High School level research, never mind final year of uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisUWE Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hey, I've done your questionnaire, can you do mine please? I'm a final year product design student & i'm doing research in to Festival Hygiene. I would really appreciate some responses for my questionnaire. Go as in depth or brief as you want.

RichardWaller Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I've done the survey too but I'm not sure what you're hoping to get out of it. Fair enough, V is one of if not the most commercial festival out there, but there are also festivals less commercial than Glastonbury, and really, the most commercial festival on the planet can be just an equal a celebration of music as the least. If we're going to go down the road of saying oh my festival's a celebration of music and yours isn't, your taste is invalid, then we're just dickheads. Two people could go to one festival for different reasons, one person could go to two festivals for different reasons, some people's weekends will be ruined by swamp fests, others will make the most of it and have a fantastic time. Reading your post and going through the survey, it made me think of an article I read a few months back https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/17/baby-boomers-have-already-taken-all-the-houses-now-theyre-coming-for-our-brunch I think that's kinda significant when it comes to the popularity of festivals too.. Festivals seem to have achieved a bucket list status now, people are buying experiences cos fuck it, we're screwed, the housing market is ridiculous and 75% of us earn less than the "average" salary and 40% of that is going on rent. Glastonbury is the jewel in the crown of the festival circuit, literally millions who try to get tickets miss out every year, but there are plenty of other festivals out there. I'll go to Glastonbury every chance I get because it's Glastonbury, had some amazing times there and love the atmosphere, layout, activism and there's always some hidden treasure to discover. But it's always my main holiday of the year when I do go, cos to me, it's so expensive. But this is me, do I count as a millennial at 33? I don't know... I'd written off home ownership, but now I'm so sick of rip off private landlords and crap flats and houses that I'd like to buy somewhere if I can. Even if it's only a shared ownership thing. I reckon it'd be interesting to look more into the demographics of festival attendees, where they come from, what they do, how much they earn, what they believe etc. If you find out from this survey what people's priorities are without knowing anything else about the people, I'm not sure how useful that'd be.
