And when your parents, Brothers, Sisters or the kids ask 'what do you want for Christmas'?, rather than the novelty Sweater, undrinkable Wine, Gift Token etc, just ask for Croppers Camping Ticket, £35.00 Saved straight off (maybe even Full tickets if you are very lucky).
Tell them what you would REALLY like from Santa and get them in time for Christmas and save £3.80 (thats a little over a pint).

Assume 2 people x 3 days x five beers per day @ £3 per pint = £90

Take your own beer Malcolm that'll save £60. I must say I love that Cropredy allow that - some festivals make you feel like a criminal and frisk you on entry just so they can rip you off once you get in.

Long live Cropredy!


I live near IoW festival site ....

£175 for a camping ticket in 2011
You get frisked every time you go to the main arena (This can be fun Tongue) But you DO get good at smuggling
its a mile walk with all your camping gear from car to camping area's
Its over a mile walk from majority of camping area's to main arena
The toilets are appalling ( Overflowing bogs from day one)
80.000 people No Cropredy breakfasts and the local pubs still stop serving food at 09.30 AND NO WADSWORTHS
They virtually close the main Island Road to Newport for hte whole week many Islanders hate it

It makes Croppers look a veritable gift
good local rapport... and there are some great pubs serving great food
camp with friends near your car easy access to main arena
drink your booze , any one elses booze or buy from the freindliest biggest outdoor bar
Good site coordination and apart from a few hours the road system works
and its a freindly festival ( if you want frisking i'm sure someone will do it) Roll Eyes
Not just a commercial opportunity... The costs are overall considerably lower

I am sticking with croppers but I will get the ticket in January /February Fez Tiara

The prices look pretty comparable to other festivals - eg Shrewsbury (where the camping appears to be charged per person).

One thing Shrewsbury offers which Cropredy might consider in future is a family ticket (2 adults and two "youths").

Whichever way you look at it, a festival is always an expensive weekend!
