    Music events are are a total rip off for food and drink.
    Paid almost £23 for a round of four cans of Moretti (£5.70 each for a small 330ml can) on Saturday at the Paul Heaton/Jacqui Abbot gig at Donny.

    Inchs is a lovely cider when it's a ten pack of cans for a tenner in Morrisons. I suspect not as much when it's £6+ a pint at a festival.

    They were excellent Saturday night!

    I have to say regarding OP comments on prices of food I totally agree. Taking the p155 really.

    £7 for a pint is a joke. The wine was £29 a bottle which is a lot but ffs if you’re going to charge that at least make it half decent wine, which you can get at trade for £4/5 a bottle I imagine given that a good bottle of wine is £7 retail.

    also the failure to allow re-entry isn’t good - goes against the spirit of why the festival was invented in the first place

    It was worse than that, it was £6 for a 440ml can!!! Of which they ran out of half way through the festival. They then had the cheek to charge £6.20 for the same size can of Strongbow as its replacement. I wouldn't even clean the drains out with Strongbow. Worse than bin juice.

    Flipping heck. So a fiver more per can for the exact same product and size. How the chuff do you run out you get a van drive to the supermarket and empty the shelves.

    Tramlines isn’t Tramlines. As Chef tyke alluded to above what started off a free festival in and around around the city is now just a normal run of the mill park festival, with associated pricing structure

    I’m sure plenty who went had a cracking time but for me spirit of tramlines was happening in the city centre

    Tramlines fringe is all over the city - Western Park, Devonshire Green and a few other places.

    Used to be brilliant when it was free and all over the city centre. Bands just about to go big in tiny venues, Alt-J, Public Service Broadcasting, Nadine Shah in the cathedral, all sprinkled in between really good local bands, art installations, and then finishing up in The Leadmill

    Not sure about that lineup, but Doomlines looked really good. Much more my cup of tea

    My daughter went and also managed to smuggle drink in so she enjoyed herself, she enjoyed the Vaccines and Sam Fender. Got the early bird ticket so she thought it good value for money.
    I wouldn't expect Such a to be up to much now , 40 years ago that he was singing Baggy Trousers wasn't it!?
