Music festivals are an amazing summer experience-acres of mud, flower garlands and dubious drunken stunt. But they also don't know they're healthy for your bank account
You've already forgiven a fair dose
For the freshmen of the festival, in particular, it is easy to complete the expenses more than you planned. So, we've collected a couple of vetted and tested advice to help you cut the costs of the festival without a party!
Huck to save money at music festivals
Specify the daily budget
In the atmosphere of the festival it is very easy to take away and spend a foolish amount of money on alcohol and food
Decide how much money you'll be happy to spend on the entire festival and share them every day. Or take this sum of money in cash (
In any case, don't think you have to keep up with your friends when it comes to buying things. Lie to the music festival and concentrate your efforts on sucking the atmosphere of the festival
Reserve an emergency fund

You also need to make sure you put down the contingency fund in case you need to
The last thing you want is to leave high and dry with no money to even feed yourself, and finish when you need to borrow from your friends
Leave your expensive clothes at home
Paul Townsend
We will not pretend that people don't care how they look at festivals-flower garlands, boring shorts and accessories from the beetles-that is what the festivals say
But one of the biggest costs of the weekend could be
With limited security, it is better not to attract favorite coaches or jeans or any of them
Remember, the festivals are 80% of the dirt, so all you want to leave is clean, leave it at home!
Look at the free services
There are a lot of cool services, which are often overlooked at festivals, but with a sharp eye you can spend some time in the bag
You will often find tents in which you can generate the energy that will be generated
However, there is still a lot to say for switching your phone and enjoying the real life on the weekends
Bring your own charger
If you don't, you will be charged ... Charge! Avoid this by investing in a portable charger-they are not too expensive these days, they are worth long-term investments, and we often take them to our own
Most decent charging systems will be able to recharge your phone
If you feel very cheap, you could even offer a charge to another festival-mountain in exchange for beer!
Keep your money safe
Festivals are notorious for being suddenly the most careless people on the planet, and the loss of cash is nearly as common as Hunter Wellesus is on the main stage
Besides, the fact that tents are probably the easiest thing to break into EVER is also important to keep your money and valuers
Our advice? Investment in
If you think carrying a bag is a cardinal sin, go for it
Don't buy the festival program

This may be tempting to pay for the festival program, but it is not necessary, and they tend to be highly inflated
With tiny planning, you can
If you're not very sentimental, and you're working on a collection of programs from every festival you've ever been to, spending a tanner on a booklet that you have to lose in the mud is zero
Avoid the use of ATMs and cash

Cash money on you might not feel like the smartest idea, but you're already
It is really easy to lose your debit card if you are constantly blinking in a dirty field, especially among the masses of people who are insured at the festival
You'll get everything you need. It is unlikely that any festival will have cash registers, which offer free inference, so do not cast away this time! Get rid of the expenses and take your money before you go
Lots of festival cars
The other option is to take
Book your travel in advance
Like on any trip, it's simple:
People often make a mistake waiting until the last minute to book their tickets in the hope that prices will fall, but I bet everyone else will have the same idea!
As soon as you know the dates of the festival and the time of the opening of the campsite, book your trip ASAP. And one more thought of something about it later

A car with friends

If you do not plan to use public transport, you can ride with friends or on board to share the costs of what you are assigning to the driver
Take the others in the car with you
You can also use a trip to get a guide for the fun way ahead! Who in any case likes to drive alone?
Let' s check the limits of the festival to save for alcohol
There's nothing worse
Anyway, you'll always be sure
You can also specify a rule (or at least try!) that you will drink water until a certain time of day. It'll save you the alcohol all day, and your liver will be grateful!
Volunteers to get a free ticket
Every year, the festivals will be on a stamp for volunteers to help with things like handing out bracelets at the entrance, selling programs, or helping clean up trash
In exchange, you will
Volunteers to be at festivals for such charities like War Child, you can also get to some of the best festivals in the country-and
Sign as early as possible, since volunteer positions can quickly be filled. It is also a great way to get acquainted with new people and develop some manual work
Rover the plastic cups for cash
As more and more festivals strive to become greenish, making cash for disposal, quickly becomes one of the easiest ways to help finance your festival over the weekend!
Many of them are difficult to promote recycling
You could find yourself a couple of extra drinks just because they have leftovans and they do
Don't spend your money on expensive tents
You can easily spend hundreds on all your camping, but it's not necessary, and the chances of it being damaged are (let' s be honest) pretty high
Most of the collection you take at the festival ends in a dumpster, because you can always rely on the British summer
However, you may not want to go for the absolute cheapest, as the quality is probably fair. A lot of cheap, like chips of the festival ends in landfills that hurt the Earth (garden)
You don't have to empty your savings, but if you spend a little more on a tent that lasts a few years, you can use it again, which will save you money and the environment forever! Double win!
Keep an eye on him
Don't buy festival goods
It may be tempting, when you've just seen the best living kit ever, to rush and buy the entire festival product for an offer
Step up the moment, like it's gonna blow up in your budget, so take a few deep breathings and take a step back! You'll probably be able to pick it up for a cheaper online
If you really have a heart, at least to pick up a souvenir
Bring your food and buy food from the seller wisely
One of the biggest costs of any festival is food, so planning ahead of it can save you the absolute state
Take some food with you
It may seem obvious, but don't go for anything to do with preparation-when the time comes, most of the effort you can handle, it's opening a package (and even it's pushing it)
If you feel the temptations of the festival food, you jump out all your options before you do-watch what other people order to dry up, which salesmen have been walking around
Besides, maybe you should hang around the grocery store, just like them
button up the bottle
The growing trend of gypsies and festivals is to give you
A bottle with a bottle in the bottom of your bag can save you by shooting down your drinks, but you'll have to buy later! This rule is only to get more money from people, in which case it deserves to be broken!
So that's you! Follow these simple advice, and you might end up
