The doors of Worthy Farm were opened to festival attendees on Wednesday, signaling the start of Glastonbury 2023.
An image depicting the prices at a festival bar quickly gained popularity online, leaving several attendees stunned at how high they considered the cost of some drinks to be.
A picture of The Bread and Roses’ drink menu was posted by Twitter user Marc Faulkner, which ignited a passionate discussion.
Marc’s photo indicated cocktail prices ranging from £12 to £9.50, a pint of San Miguel priced at £6.80, and a double spirit with Red Bull costing £13.
Reacting to Marc’s image – also posted on That Glasto Thingy’s Twitter – one individual expressed: ‘F**k me those spirit prices.’
A separate tweet read: ‘Glad I packed plenty of rum,’ with another person more bluntly stating: ‘Robbing b*****ds.’
Other remarks included: ‘Just shy of 7 quid for a San Miguel?!’ and ‘Half a pint of coke for £3 [angry face emoji].’
Yet, not all reactions were of disbelief, with one Twitter user noting: ‘Actually not that bad.’
Other responses included: ‘Still decent prices!’ and ‘£6 for a cider, not too shabby.’
Glastonbury saw thousands of campers arrive today to celebrate the 51st year of the global spectacle.
