Most of them also include food and actual bed.. not blow up mattress, so from my point of view for comfort and cleaniness and a ticket with no stress its well worth it etc
ghostdancer wrote: » you're right, the cheapest package with tickets in your link is "REMARKA-BELL (FOR 2 PEOPLE) - £2245 + VAT + COST OF TICKETS AT FACE VALUE" which is just under £3000. I've done glamping at other festivals, and Worthy View at Glastonbury with showers etc. but for me, paying that much to have nice toilets which you'll be away from most of the day, and a proper bed is a colossal waste of money. which ones include food? of the 7 or 8 external campsites i've seen, none include food. they all have food areas with food for additional purchase.... e: not that I'd be fussed with food at a campsite anyway as I'd be inside the arena all day, and the many different types of food available is one of the best things about Glastonbury.

Neighbours charge them an arm and a leg, and also get guaranteed/given a bunch of free tickets. With any other land that isn't being rented by the festival, the neighbours can obviously do what they like, and several set-up glamping campsites (or more usually, an external company sets it up) and offer some of the free tickets they got from the festival as part of the packages. people pay lots of money for them, and so the neighbours get lots of money which makes them happy. Glastonbury festival doesn't officially endorse or acknowledge them, as GF doesn't run the campsites, and they're outside the festival walls etc., but if it keeps the neighbours happy and allows Glastonbury to continue renting other parts of the land, then they turn a blind eye to what the neighbours do with their bunch of free tickets. some other neighbours further away don't have bunches of tickets, so have just set up fancy glamping on their land up the road, but don't offer tickets as part of the deal, as they won't have any tickets to sell. the tickets that are given away free are usually hospitality tickets which don't require your photo/name on them, unlike the normal tickets which do.
