scaryclaireyfairy Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 As someone old and broken and dreading the walk in with just my basic gear, if they're selling cans - even at inflated prices - they'll make my time so much easier. The bars will be seeing more of me this year but nothing beats the convenience of having a couple of warm cans in your rucksack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got this image of 100k people queuing on Wednesday morning with a daysack with pants and t-shirts, a tent and a sleeping bag, saying "so where is this co-op?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I would bank on them struggling with demand .. im not sure how they could do this whilst keeping vehicle movements to a minimum ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to Glastonbury to get away from work From the sounds of it , its going to be in a campsite (no dea where I jus read that) so hoepfully not in the one you're heading for). If you don;t have a ticket then you can apply to work there if you lready work at co-op ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that the announcement was specifically related to drinks bottles. So it only really would affect water, soft drinks, milk etc which can all be sold in cans or cartons. Obviously the long term goal will be to go beyond that, but right at this moment it's exceptionally difficult to completely get rid of single use plastics as Shambala found last year when they tried and failed.

Pinhead Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Wonder how this will affect the other traders on site... Sure they charge up at the festival but then their pitch fees are often well expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantkatestacks Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 They will have to put it somewhere easily accessible to the road for deliveries. I would go for either where John Peel used to be or down the road near to Wicket. I bloody love Michael Eavis though, what a good deal for the village.

jparx Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Is there any where decent to buy mixers in bulk? Just cans of lemonade would be ideal. I usually drink rum/southern comfort straight so I've never been bothered to look, but the missus will be after mixer. We can take some with us, but it would be handy to get some on site. Wondering if this Co-op will be a game changer in that regard, or was there already a place to get it? Be interesting to see how they handle tinnies. If the Latitude one was outside of the main arena, it wouldn't have as big effect on bar sales by the stages. Can't imagine the bars at Glastonbury being too happy if you can buy crates on site since there's no gates between the camping and "arena". Would be a huge bonus for punters if that's the case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would save me a ton of weight (well, a few kilos). It was hard enough to find them in plastic bottles anywhere. Usually end up decanting into old Lucozade bottles (the little ones, who said these things are "single use"?). I wonder where it will be. It's going to have to be fairly big.

At a guess, Paines/Dairy way. Or maybe in the NW, to draw people to that end of the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
