How many full season tickets are sold and what is the capacity of the main site. 2500 tickets at around 150 quid plus 48 for camping say 200 quid times 2500 = half a million. Well, OK may be this is spurious but the point I'm trying to get across is that out of 40,000 average estimated attendee's (more for 2004)   means an awful lot do not directly contribute to the festival coffers. If each paid about fifteen/twenty quid on average the festival could survive the odd year of rain. How many people go to the festival to enjoy the fringe sessions Radway, middlebar, seafront entertainment etc but do not actually contribute financially to the festival. Ive heard people boast that they they don't pay anything to the festival I wonder if they will be boasting this year.
