00:00Some festivals can be a little bit over the top, but I've done the security side of things

00:06of festivals.

00:10Some of the time the paying for the ticket actually goes to the artists, because you're

00:13paying for the artists for them to give you a good day, but then they can, you shouldn't

00:24Yeah, I never went to when I was a younger person, so I do know people my age who still

00:29go and still love it, but obviously as you get older you aren't usually in a position

00:34to be able to afford the prices for young people, it's still been really hard.

00:38I think it probably is, if you think about the cost of living, if you've got all the

00:43other bills, if they made it a bit more affordable, it would attract a wide variety of audiences,

00:49I think.

00:50Yeah, it's all, because really festivals are not a necessity, they're luxury, so you pay

00:54your water, your electricity, your food, before, if there's anything left over, I might go

00:59too.
