Bar Prices predictions 2022

[gfa]

There's no way its going to be £8, i'd be surprised if its £7.50 too honestly. Bar price scaremongering!

6/6.5 or 6.5/7 i think. last year everywhere was 6/6.5 that I went to and inflation is not at the point where its going to be £8 pints.

Why have I never thought of making my own?! This could be lifechanging! And help my wallet.  

This is a @Mardylife hack. When hes not busy calling people c**ts he can be quite resourceful.

Exactly.  Travelling down from Scotland, I've only ever taken spirits to Glastonbury and even then you have to hope they're OK in the hold luggage.

Surely just grab some in duty free after the flight and a 2L mixer bottle and your golden?

with my own mobile beer dispense*r i'm going to try and avoid the bars, should save a small fortune.

*thats beer i'm bringing, which will be an easy carry on my mobility scooter. 🙂

Rum and ginger beer, get the ice from the bar

Is the correct answer. I normally take a couple of limes with me as well so I can stick a wedge in, even invested in a bag of mint one year.  My hot debate for this year is whether I can feasibly take some bitters and a plastic pipette with me. Nothing makes a rum & ginger sing like a drop of bitters.

Ginger beer is hands down king of the mixers, goes with vodka, rum, whisky etc etc. Basically all you need. 

Is also the correct answer.

EDIT: having just thought about a plastic pipette to control dosage as I typed that post, the answer is clearly yes, I will be taking bitters.

Do we think this weekend festivals will give us an indication of bar prices? 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Never mind the cost of a pint, how much is a Cuba Libre and/or a Mojito? I think I paid about a tenner for one in 2017 by Arcadia from a sw*nky little American Airstream. After 10pm, beer just doesn't cut it anymore

A can of bud poured into a cup was £5.95 at Wembley stadium last weekend. So much winning that day

[CauliflowerEar]

Small can of Asahi at Camden Palace was £6.40 last weekend. They have had £70 million spent on the venue refurbishing it in the last few years, so i wasnt overly surprised. So if any bar at Glastonbury comes close to charging those kind of prices, they are taking the piss and the 'hippy vibe' is well and truly non existent. Just laugh and walk away!

£6.65 for a Carlsberg tonight at Shepard’s bush empire for Brian Fallon! 

[Tremas]

Pints of Carlsberg at Seaside Beano in Camber Sands last weekend were £4.10. Sufficed to say we made the most of that. Probably the cheapest pint I've seen at a festival in some time.

[Alvoram]

I am expecting somewhere between £6 and £7, which is far too broad of a guess...

So I'm going to go with £6.45.

[Joshuwarr]

£6 for a pint of Camden Hells at the Electric Ballroom in Camden tonight. Not bad considering some of the prices quoted in this thread...

[Hogshead]

Some of the prices quoted are worrying enough to ask 'how much is the Ice'  and 'can i get i small enough to fit inside my cans!' Look, we can only hope they don't take the p***. History and ethos suggests they won't. They still good enough to let us bring in our own (within reason) so lets assume we'll be OK and enjoy a great week

Duty free from scotland ? 😂

[Hotchilidog]

£5.80 for an Aspalls at the Electric Ballroom for Julien Baker

[The Dawg]

I'm off to Bearded Theory this morning and the beer prices are usually very reasonable and a good selection to choose from. So, no I don't think this weekends festivals will give an idea.

I was at that, quality gig, it was £7 for a pint of San Mig (which tasted like water)

Was every penny on Saturday 

[lazyred]

Most pints at Bearded Theory are 4.50 to 5.50. Double and mixer are 8. 00

Food seems pricier. Some options at 8.00 but most are 10.00 to 14.00 Cheapest one I've seen is a pie for 6.50

The company that runs some at Shindig also run some at Glasto, so possibly.

GFL stipulate that stalls have to offer a meal for £5 don’t they? Part of the application process to provide a menu which includes low cost simple meals.

I'm thinking those soy sauce fish thingies may be convenient for bitters. Project for the week end: see if they can be cleaned enough as not to taste like soy sauce.
