Firstly, I have never been to Wilderness, but I really do get the impression that it is a typical modern rip-off venture. Beer at £5-6? You've got to be joking, surely?! At Cropredy Festival, which I attend (this year it will be 40 years since my first Cropredy!), and which is normally the same weekend, they charge around £4-£4.50 for a pint of real ale.

Also, I gather that at this event they prevent you from bringing in your own food and drinks (unlike at Cropredy). That for me has always sounded warning bells!

And why are there limited numbers of local discounted tickets? Rather than "discounted tickets", it sounds to me more a case of "how much can we rip the locals off and get away with it?"!

Just my tuppenny-hap'orth ... feel free to shoot me down in flames! :-)

PS: On another aspect - I should add that I live comparatively near the festival site, and have absolutely no complaint about the noise whatsoever.

Perhaps do what the aussies do at big events. Break in early to Cornbury, bury some beers in a quiet place and excavate them when you are in. The other option is drink gin or cocktails, more bangs for you bucks. Though I do not condone any form of criminal act or using alcohol inappropriately.

Never mind the ticket prices, what about the £5 they charge for a small beer? Rubbish! Even late at night in the Pit for a warm can of beer straight out of a 4-pack it was £5. Or was it £6? My memory is hazy. I am planning to drone in cold beers instead - does anyone want to go halves on a load-carrying drone?

Hi, its also a real shame that the Pre School will not be able to raise funds a the festival. We actually made a loss last year (the pig roast stall was not in a great location and we just cant compete with all the food stalls). I really hope Wilderness are able to work with the Pre school to come up with a plan for 2018. I will keep my fingers crossed...

Adult tickets are the same price as last year

This proves they don't care about locals increase prices that's making you ones that were backing it start to moan now. Perhaps the sound that comes from there might disturb you if you can't afford to go or don't want to go.

Totally agree Miles. It's very disappointing that Wilderness keep increasing the price for local residents.

Wow, the cost of our family (2 adults and 2 children under 10) has gone up from originally £150 to £300. That is going to price out a lot of locals. Is that a good idea? Surely you would want to keep them on-board?

Last year wilderness kindly provided parking tickets foc for locals as a lot of locals like to camp over the festival is this being offered again foc as depite being local caming gear is a heavy lot to lug upto site by hand and £15 is a lot to drop off camping gear and drive back to town..
