What I found when I got inside though was simply unbelievable. All the things we were told not to take in were on sale including disposable cameras, umbrellas and ofcourse various food and beer stalls.
My main gripe however is the blatant daylight robbery that went on here as typically most items of food for example cheeseburgers; hot dogs and bacon baguettes were all around £2.50 and £3.50. If you wanted to enjoy a beer with your snack then this would set you back another £3.50 and there was a very poor choice on offer so it was either a cup of lager or cider and not a very good one at that.
No food or drink to be taken in to the venue
I know these guys all have overheads and it's really nice to be able to just come along and grab a burger whenever you feel like one, but is it really necessary to fleece us again after we've just forked out £30 plus for a ticket to
see the bands and will probably spend at least another £20 or more on a tour t-shirt? I think it is totally unacceptable that we don't even have the choice of bringing refreshments of our own to the concert, if this was possible at least then we could eat and drink what we want and be a bit richer at the same time
I don't think there's much we can do about this so I guess for now we'll just have to put up with it, either that or stop going to see our favourite bands at open air concerts which as far as I'm concerned isn't really an option. In the mean time, check out the links below as I think they are quite interesting and may be useful.
