), we were all ready to go this year and found that the price had doubled
, We go to glastonbury every year so we're only looking for a small cheap festival and as glastonbury the best festival in the world has not even sold out yet tell's me there's something wrong here, cost's have gone up so people can't afford much anymore, so why expand a festival at the hight of the credit crunch and do very little marketing to support it?, at the end of the day it is a business even if it is for fun becouse there's so much involved with cost's, safety, security and so forth which all comes down to one thing ............... a good business plan (which includes a good marketing plan)

86.162.154.129Maybe it was a bad year for expansion, maybe mistakes have been made they always are, everywhere. However, it is a bit shocking to suggest that a good busimess plan was not made. Everyone seems to think they are experts when they jump to make criticism with no knowledge of the business plan made, what the costs are and so forth. - Re: high prices at low times

213.205.211.229Thats a fare and honest comment Jon,it's true to say that i'v not seen the business plan, lets hope the mistakes are used in a constructive way for next year to build a better and stronger festival in terms of stability

86.165.233.214Where else can you have a weekends entertainment for less than £60 as good as Bliss. In fact I was surprised it wasn't more!! And Glastonbury the best festival in the world...I don't think so. Unless of course you agree to a police state with ID cards and corporate control of your entertainment. And before you say it, I do know better as my first Glasto was in 1971 before you were born most like. - Re: high prices at low times

213.205.200.103I was born in 1979 yup yup,does'nt mean i don't know anything tho hahaha, we went to 2000tree's festival last weekend which was £39 a ticket, i had a fantastic time, it was on par with blissfields i would say in terms of bands, main stage, acoustic type stage and a few stalls, as for glastonbury i'v had a love affair with the place for years, ok it's big with big bands but for me it's about the small stages and the green fields oh and on the subject of the green fields we found this fantastic little rock band called "the operation" playing to about 20 people and ooooooh my god they rock!, they are looking for places to play live if you guys are interested
