Here is the truth no one wants to admit. The £360 ticket is just the entry fee. It’s like buying a ticket to Disneyland but forgetting you need money for food and a Mickey Mouse hat. You will spend more once you are inside.
You need to factor in travel. Are you driving? That’s petrol and parking (about £50). Taking a coach? That’s another £30-£60. Then there’s the food and drink. A bacon sandwich costs a tenner. A pint of cider is around £7. Over five days, a reasonable budget is another £200.
Pro tip: Bring a good tent and a few packets of instant noodles. Your wallet will weep if you buy all your meals from the stalls. My friend Sarah survived on peanut butter sandwiches and festival wine. She saved a fortune, although her breath smelled like regret and Skippy.
