That's pretty much the rate of inflation isn't it?  

Also wonder if this is some of the land they rent from a neighbour? 

Yep they rent the land for anything outside the fence and some fields inside the fence too.

Anywhere with long drops tanks in the ground inside the fence they own, anything with composters they don’t.

Cost of hiring the fields, cost of infrastructure/utilities/hire of showers/toilets/facilities/ storage and hire costs of tents, equipment/staffing. still cheaper than some of the glamping options and closer to festival. Plenty of free camping inside the festival for those who cant afford it. You are paying for convenience and a little bit of extra comfort I suppose? Not everyone can afford a campervan either. 

A lot of those costs come with running CV fields too, and you get a bigger patch of land there compared to what you get at WV. Hiring tents, showers, toilets etc I get but still seems a bit steep compared to CV. I've stayed at WV twice and loved it but not sure the cost is justified for a 2 man tent you couldn't swing a cat in and that you boil alive in if it's warm with no means of ventilating with windows etc.

Tipis were £1150 in 2022, so that’s a 52% increase in two festivals. Now technically that £1150 price was set in 2019, but it’s still eye watering

Never thought about that before, makes sense though, who’d want one of them on your land😊

I’d agree with that. No way can it be called glamping. The car parking close by, the small queue getting in and not having to lug a tent across the site are the main advantages. Big queues for the showers and limited flush toilets though the composters are also available. The new path up the hill to WV still needs to be tested in wet and muddy conditions.

Not quite true, but almost. There is a few on steanbow farm land.

But there's quite a bit more infrastructure and staff in Sticklinch or WV, well was in the former when I stayed and (tipi aside) these prices are not dissimilar to if you just bosh them into the link below.  When I stayed in a bunkpad in 22 the price they charged was less than it cost at other locations (not sure if they still quote on second link below) - seemed like they trimmed the offering to essentials so they could keep the price down for Sticklinch.

Inflation aside, they know they sell out instantly so it's safe the raise the prices.  Even if the costs associated with providing this type of camping and the associated infrastructure haven't increased (not likely) the festival clearly needs to increase revenue generally.

Something I've wondered but never asked: Is there a resale for worthy view/sticklinch accommodation for those that pick up tickets in the resale or are they strictly limited to people who were successful in the general sale?

Some become available again, yes.

4th glasto but going to try for Sticklinch this year and it'll be our first time doing pre-erected.

Question: How quickly do the accommodation options sell out? Especially the 2 person options like the pods and Bell tents?

2022. A winding path up through the trees rather than the path with steps.

if I recall options can go quite quickly but might appear again as people drop them in baskets ... id be prepared to go at dead on and you should be fine .... the first to go are usually teepees

That path + gradually worsening lines for toilets+ way higher price this year = back to genpop for us.

2 beds, tipi’s and caravan East go quickest but the rest take a little longer. 
 

they don’t have many Pods or bell tents so get in on the dot.
