I emailed them yesterday £4270 + VAT was the cheapest they offered for 2 people I emailed them a couple of weeks ago - they told me they had accommodation available if I had my own tickets but they didn’t have any tickets left to allocate. Apparently I’m now on a reserve list. Cheapest i’ve found is Yurtel at £8,400 for two (incl tickets). It is VERY nice accommodation and if it was a dream line-up year then MAYBE I could justify the price ... but not this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My calculations would be per person if split between 2 350 - farm pass 325 - tent pass 485 - hosp ticket £1485 + vat = £1392 Still expensive but the cheapest I have seen Edited May 23, 2019 by ledwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done a lot of research just in case I win the idiot tax in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_8 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 the festival 485 ticket and farm 350 ticket are both each per person. The tent pitch would be split i imagine. whether it be a 2 man pitch or 8 man i don't know, it probably will say on their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentura Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Still looking at £1,160 pp + VAT minimum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_coholic Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 For £1000 you could buy 285 packs of Mallets and enter the competition 285 times which will greatly improve your chances of winning one of the 5 sets of their tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there from Tuesday night got in once Wednesday morning and the other 2 times Thursday evening. He who dares Rodney he who dares! I can get entry to the festival through fellow scousers (for a nominal fee) who will get me in but then I don't have a wristband and neither does my wife. If it was just me I wouldn't have a issue with this but I know my wife would not be able to relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Rabbit Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) And to top it all off I’ve just had a call from the courier delivering the Mallets Cider Festival Pack I won telling me that they’ve “damaged” it. Not sure what that means but I’m seriously considering going down to the depot to rescue the code from the 4pack of cider it’s supposed to contain! Not really fussed about the rest of it!

franathy Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Next year I'm just going to get onto the volunteering early, still try for tickets but at least it won't be so stressful. I have thought about going down the hospitality route before but I don't think I could do it, I just think what if it ended up being really muddy and/or rainy and I'm there thinking I could have had a luxury month (or two) in Thailand for the same money. I have done the wristband sneaky thing once and another time used someone else's ticket; both are definitely doable but I don't fancy doing it again now I'm that bit older.

Laoise Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi guys - been lurking here all day and think I have finally reached breaking point and willing to shell out for a hospitality package (within reason). Cheapest I can find though is £2.5k pp - tent pitches at Winding Lake are sold out. Anyone know any more realistic options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
