Toluna Quicksurvey shows that Glastonbury Festival goers disenchanted with headliners and ticket price
• 80% think this year’s ticket price was a rip off
• 60% are disappointed with this year’s headliners
19th June 2009: Online research panel provider Toluna spoke to 2000 Glastonbury Festival goers in the last 24 hours to find out their true feelings on this year’s big event. It may be billed as the biggest music festival of the summer, but it seems that the music is a turn-off for this year’s festival goers.
Two thirds (60%) of respondents admitted they were disappointed with the headline acts, such as Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young and despite this year’s event being a sell-out, the £175 ticket price left the majority of attendees (80%) feeling ripped off.
However, reflecting the diverse range of activities on offer at the event, it seems that the music is not Glasto’s only attraction, with 50% of those surveyed instead viewing the festival as the ideal opportunity to relax and escape from recession-hit workplaces for a few days. Only 20% of the respondents stated the music was their only reason for attending and a further 28% simply love the atmosphere and feel good factor the festival brings.
With pockets tight, one third (34%) said they would definitely be bringing their own alcohol to the event. And despite predicted weather reports of a heat-wave, 73% of respondents will still be packing their wellies in anticipation of the traditional British summer rain.
