Astonishing price of toastie at Glastonbury branded 'rip off' as food prices are revealed

As if just getting your hands on a ticket for Glastonbury wasn't hard enough, you've then got to work out how on earth you're going to get through the full festival without completely bankrupting yourself.

It's no secret that the five-day event in Somerset which people from around the world flock to costs more than a few quid to attend, but it's the sky-high food and drink prices that sting the most.

There's a whopping 300 food vendors and over 100 bars dotted across Worthy Farm this year, so there is plenty of choice for partygoers who need to refuel - however, you might have to shop around a bit if you want to find the best deal.

People have branded prices at Glastonbury 2024 a 'rip off' after finding out a simple cheese toastie will set you back somewhere in the region of a tenner, so be prepared to spend an arm and a leg if you're heading down there.

The general consensus on social media seems to be that people think it's pretty unfair that ravers are being charged over the odds for their festival supplies as they have don't have the choice to take their business elsewhere.

You can take your own food and drink for personal consumption on site with you, but amounts that are considered beyond what one person would need 'will be confiscated', the Glastonbury website states.

And seen as though people are lugging loads of belongings, tents, chairs and God knows what else with them as they head through the gates, sometimes, they just don't have space to bring their own food supplies.

So, how much will those poor folk relying on food stalls and bars to get them through be forking out this year then?

The Liverpool Echo has put together the price lists for two very popular watering holes at Glastonbury to give you an idea about how much people need to budget for if they're not planning on living off packed lunches at the festival.

Bevvies from the San Remo bar - which is situated between the Pyramid, Woodsies and Silver Hayes - as well as the Village Inn - which is left of the The Pyramid Stage and below the Kidney Mead camping area - aren't cheap.

Those toasties, eh.

One person even took to social media to say: "Was listening to some clown on radio this morning who has got a food and refreshment stall at Glastonbury. He seems to think £9.50 is fair price for a cheese toastie. What a f**king rip off!"

You could make at least a dozen of them at home for that price, but if you're hankering for one in the middle of Worthy Farm, you're probably going to pay it.
