Are festivals like Glastonbury overpriced?

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 men 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

00:17it's going to go up. But I think you get more for your festival these days, like you get more,

00:23you know, more bands to see, more of an experience. So it's, it's not too bad, I think. But yeah,

00:30I wouldn't go now. I can't afford it now.

00:32Well, lads are having to get a six pack go home, watch the football, they can't even afford a game

00:36of football, let alone a blimmin 800 quid ticket for a festival. I mean, sod Glastonbury, you know,

00:42it's just, how can people afford it? You know, it's middle class kids, probably. I don't know,

00:47I'm just generalising. But I do think that they're overpriced, they shouldn't be allowed to be

00:53that constant. They should be regulated, actually. But again, who's making the money out of them?
