What was the point of this post?
Working man? So are you saying the only people going to football now are people out of work? Of course working men still go to football, or are you saying the stands are full of Tarquins?
One of my daughters went to Glastonbury last year. She is at uni but got a part time job to pay for the trip.
Well, they’ve got two years to save up for the next one

How much is a match ticket?
It doesn’t take a genius to see a family going to football is out of reach for the average family.
The dick needs to move to Asia where tickets are affordable.
And no the bank of mum & dad did NOT pay for any of the students in our group. That’s called education you want something earn it. Perhaps your population & politicos could learn that simple fact of life
Obviously the dick is so middle class he thinks that’s what everyone else does as well as him
Our politico’s say they haven’t got a magic money tree yet produce one to stay in power, a bit like the absolute tax free authority in which you reside…
Until the oil runs out…
Wrong again muppet.
VAT coming this summer then income taxes starting in Saudi & Kuwait at year end.
Keep dreaming things up
Income tax? Now not the future, now?
So… Sir Winston Churchill’s grandaughter (Arabella) had a lot of involvement in the setting up of Glastonbury in the 70s. There’s Bella’s field and a bridge. She was into alternative lifestyles and appears to have distance herself from the privileged lifestyle of her family. . But allsorts of people have been involved and going all these years. Since the fence became a proper fence it’s harder for poorer people to go.
Can you vote over there yet? Got a passport?
Fucking hell, really feeling that Glasto vibe on this thread now!

She was still an elite but again so was Tony Benn, if they used their position for the greater good then so be it, the fence has kept the poor out and the middle classes safe from the reality of the working classes having a good time.
Yes football is very expensive now and it is cheaper for families to watch it on SKY. But how many families used to go to football? Dads and children, but whole families?
Not many and that is my point.
And my point is how many whole families used to go when it was cheaper anyway? I dont recall seeing any families on the terraces back in the 70s but you might know different.
Still we have gone well off thread. Perhaps we ought to start a new thread about the class system and whether it still exists as it used to in the last century?

Well thanks for all the reviews and a BIG thanks to Bazza for the magnificent, magnanamous gesture of a middle-age over-privileged man buying a ticket for the next Glasto and giving it away to a working class youngster…good on ya.
If everyone acted like that the world and Glasto in particular, would be a better place.

Generous of you putting that in.
Flew straight over my head.
You could make the price of a ticket a £1 and the Ayatollah would still scoff - there are many reasons why lots of families don’t go - price is just one of those

I want a ticket for the next one but I also would like a younger crowd, makes sense and its not selfish, as I say have a look at Reading this year and I bet it is far far more lively, Glastonbury on the pyramid looked stagnant and quiet.
