Ticket Price Prediction

[dotdash79]

How much do you think tickets will be?

 

2024 was £355

2023 was £335

2022 was £280

2020 was going to be £265

2019 was £248

 

I would say they will be £380, deposit will stay the same at £75

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Think you're not far wrong with that estimate. 

[balti-pie]

I’ll go with £375, cos it’s a nice round number 

[Avalon_Fields]

£385 

[northernangel]

That price hike from 2022 to 2023 was madness!

[faymondo]

£390 then bust through £400 for after the fallow year. 

[K2SO]

£100 deposit with a final price of £400

[StoneCircle]

I am going with £380…....

They needed to cover the staff furlough costs at a guess.....

Not to mention the huge %age increases just on basic infrastructure such as cabins, trackway and heras etc.

[kalifire]

I also reckon £375 is likely.

[stuie]

How much was it last year? 
 

Don’t think the deposit will change.

Inflation has slowed down heaps, i don't think its going to rise more than it did 2023-2024.

 

Going for £370 or worst-case £375.

[nikkic]

£375 

 

Then £405 after the fallow year

375 seems more likely. Don’t think they can just increase by the annual general inflation number. They will be looking more at wage inflation, whether they need extra income to cover the cost of artists demands and if they want to spend more on infrastructure, new attractions etc.

Suspect most new things will come post fallow year now .... this will be a holding year in terms of new things at a guess

While it's true that inflation is much lower, that may not tell the story here.

 

Firstly because inflation isn't even close to equal across all sectors, and the festival is much more exposed to some sectors than others. Secondly because we don't know whether or how much they've tried to cushion the price rises in previous years by absorbing some of the rises - they may need to rise costs above inflation just to get back "level". Thirdly because they may be looking to put a bit extra in the bank to cover them through the 2026 fallow year - we know from the accounts that GFLs rainy day savings were pretty much wiped out during the COVID enforced fallow years, but don't know the current situation yet.

[Dave_c]

I'll go out on a limb and say no change given the huge increase from 2022.

Fair points but whack on an extra tenner max. Can't believe some are saying £390+

[shuttlep]

I think no change this year. then a fallow year and then a big hike to £400 , with the excuse of not having the festival for a year and blah blah blah bolocky we need to make money money 

[Franky]

I am also going to say it will not change from last year, f**k knows why but I am feeling chipper lol

 

I am fully expecting to be shafted on this lol 🙂

[cheesey_toastie]

A price rise of £20 isn't even 2.5 pints at the bar. 

 

I don't want them to hike it up and price people out but I think we all need to be realistic that costs for staff and infrastructure have gone up massively, artists now find live performances their main source of income (so are rightly demanding bigger fees). The festival is in a tricky place here. 

But the coach prices - they can get in the sea (tickets).

I think it'll stay the same.

[SticklinchJoe]

I've been away for too long. All of those past prices seem crazy to me.
