‘Sod Glastonbury! Who can afford it?’: Londoners on festival prices

Are festivals too expensive these days?

Transcript

00:00Yeah, the prices are insane. It's less about the price, it's more that I'm getting old,

00:04but yeah, the prices aren't meant all now. Back in my day, it was, you know, the 90s, it was

00:11you know, 80, 90 quid for a weekend ticket. So, I mean, that's inflation, isn't it? It's going to

00:18go up. But I think you get more for your festival these days, like you get more, you know, more

00:26bands to see more of an experience. So it's, it's not too bad, I think. But yeah, I wouldn't go now.

00:31I can't afford it now. Well, lads are up to get a six pack, go and watch the football. They can't

00:36even afford a game of football, let alone a blimmin 800 quid ticket for a festival. I mean,

00:41sod Glastonbury, you know, it's just, how can people afford it? You know, it's middle class

00:46kids probably. I don't know. I'm just generalising. But I do think that they're overpriced. They

00:52shouldn't be allowed to be that constant. They should be regulated, actually. But again,

00:57who's making the money out of them, you know?
