2023 Ticket Price Confirmed

[brettredmayne]

Worked out my ticket and coach last year and it’s an £81.75 increase 

[sisco]

Out of interest how does it compare to other Festivals?! 
 

I go to Victorious Festival too which is mid tier and costs £155.  

[circus92]

Crikey - 20% increase!  Bit more than I expected - had thought around £310

In a different league , it’s like a championship football club vs Man City

It'll sell out but there'll be less people in the pool for tickets. Me and my girlfriend do it as a twosome, but a lot of people will go as a group and if a few in their group are priced out, none of them will go.

Oh I get that.  Headliners for that are more Subs/JP headers.  
 

I meant more the likes of R&L, IOW etc

[Mezhyp1]

Bit conflicted on the price. It probably takes it out of range for a lot of people which is a great shame, but I still think it reflects decent value in these times with the likes of Kendrick charging +£100 for standing gig tickets

Someone do a poll with options:

im priced out

1 or more of my group is priced out but I’m going

I’m still going with everyone I expected to

on it

[circus92]

Not familiar with all the costs involved but feels a bit excessive.  I get that energy etc has gone up, and hire for PA's and other equipment will all have gone up but it just feels a bit much.

The big question is whether they are hiking by 20% AND allowing the same numbers in as last year.  If the numbers were down a bit it might be more understandable

[JoeyT]

For that price it's a travesty if we don't get:

Prince

Elvis

David Bowie

Jesus wept.

[circus92]

... still great value though and will still def be going if I get lucky!

I'd be interested in seeing minimum wages hours needed to work to get a ticket over the past 20 years

Poll:

This will wipe out a decent few in our group. £405 for London Coach - thats a months rent for students.

[Jack.194]

Feels awful to say but I’m glad that that price will likely mean, as someone trying to get tickets, I’m more likely to get one. Got to price a fair few people out, that’s quite the increase.

[JoeyT]

Might have to dig out my camo gear, grappling hooks and twix's 😬

[March Hare]

I called this on the cost of living thread.  The maths add up.  Demand is high and they announced on a good day to bury bad news

When you put it like that, it is quite mad.

They come in 2 bar packs …. In these days of cost of living might they just double ?

2003 

Ticket - £105

Minimum Wage - £4.50

23.3 hours

 

2023

Ticket - £335 

Minimum Wage - £10.90

30.7 hours

I’m probably unlike most here in that I rarely see any live music outside of Glastonbury, so my ceiling for price of tickets is perhaps higher than most, but yeah - oof. It’ll probably put me off going on consecutive years but it won’t trouble the festival much. There will always be people willing to pay, although the demographic will change. 

[JoeyT]

My biggest issue is going to be trying to justify the £340 outlay to my non-glasto going wife 😂
