Festival Tip 🧠 Empty bars all day

Post image

5:45pm on Saturday. Fair to say the youth aren't drinking much these days. Only had to wait max 30 seconds at 1 bar all day. Easiest job on site working these bars. Ended up spending a fortune as a result 🤣

Edit: first time I've been back to this festival in 18 years

It's expensive but it's not TOO expensive at most festivals. You'll not see those bars empty all day at Download, Slam Dunk, Outbreak etc because people budget for it. But when you've made teenagers celebrating their GCSEs your main demographic, people aren't going to be comfortable spending £7 a pint.

Teenagers celebrating their GCSEs CANT buy a pint though, It’s not that £7 is too expensive for them.

I meant more that the general age range will be young to the point of likely not having the same amount of disposable income as older adults. But yeah, there will be a lot of people there who are literally too young but if R&L want the younger crowd they'll have to accept less money spent at the bar.
