balti-pie Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 i typically take a few nice cans and will spend £50 on them, then have a drink as and when i fancy one, and eat whatever i like whenever i like it - four meals a day isnt unknown - and i typically take about £400 with me, and return with a good £150 of that. its a holiday, so i dont want to scrimp, and i dont - but i still dont really spend that much money somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithoniel Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Budget around £50 a day, sometimes go over some times under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plan on a good amount of bar drinking.. £6+ a pop for a pint.. plus all food and stuff.. maybe £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yes, I usually burn about £50 a day. I don't take my own drink, but do take breakfasts and coffee so am really only buying one large meal a day (about a tenner). Then the rest on snacks and drinks.

al_coholic Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 £100 a day at least for 2 of you, to cover food and drink. Each meal will probably be £8-£10 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjfish Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 £10 a meal (ish) x 3 £6 a pint (ish) x 3 (the rest will be by own cans) £50 a day? Maybe buy a t-shirt and other nick-nacks ... + £? total: £250 - £300. (£50 spent on booze from home) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 No holds barred? You can hit £100 a day if you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 As usual, £50 a day plus £100 buffer. £350 in total and I tend to get through most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulshane Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 i generally go through £250-300 on food and beer in bars, even with bringing my own tins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Usually take £200 for 5 days but will probably expect to spend more this year due to inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yeah, around £50 a day here too not including merch. We take out own booze but buy food on site, usually two big meals and a snack, then we'll throw in the odd cocktail/cider bus visit as well.

Use the lock ups and only have the minimum physical cash on you. Better to use card that has an instant freeze feature to stop transactions like Monzo or Revolut for daily spends. Leave your main bank card secure as well. Edited June 16, 2022 by squirrelarmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperTechnoHorse Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Relatedly does anyone expect most vendors to take contactless this year? In 2019 I used exclusively cash so never really got a feel for what % of the festival accepts card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to bring heaps of cash if it's not needed but don't want to be left having to draw it out either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBuggy Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Similar to others, it's usually £300-350 but with 10% inflation I wouldn't be surprised if this year's pushing £400. That's definitely prioritising comfort though - travelling light, cold cans gone by Wednesday, no holding back at the bars and food the rest of the weekend. Did it on a fraction of that back in the day, with trolley loads of cheap cans, own-brand vodka and instant noodles to compensate, but it sounds like that's not the experience you're looking for!

I have no idea how you guys spend so little. I bring loads of my own tins etc and me and the missus will still do £100 a day each most days, sometimes less sometimes more.

ceetee Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I was hoping to pay for everything on card, but had a few issues with vendors card machines playing up at a few events recently (much smaller than Glastonbury) so taking £100 in cash for those situations, card for the rest - usually spend £300 to £400 over the weekend.

JoeSchmo Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I don't mean to be "that guy" but if it's your first time, you don't want to get too drunk. You want to be sober enough to experience as much as you can. Hope you have the best 5 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraMaze Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I know I’ll easily spend £600. I’m not going to fool myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboi Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Booze - I’ve got 10 cans a day + 150ml of rum. Food - I’ve got bacon rolls, Teas & MRE potato’s. I intend on buying 1-2 proper meals a day = £20 I’ll buy 2-3 pints a day = £20 £50 per day is reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
