The Festival Chaos Thread

but we are of course respectable.

You might've fooled them, but you don't fool me!!

North Somerset Council says yes, but with strings attached: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/6261230.stm

Of the 30 newly-imposed conditions, I particularly applaud #5 ('no jester hats'), #12 ('no juggling'), and #24 ('no improv theatre groups').

It was agreed by councillors that proposed condition #31 will be in place in time for next year's festival (-the 'machine-gun towers').

I'm not going, but I'm surprised that the festival's licensing comes under North Somerset, I always assumed it was Bristol City Council ...

North Somerset starts as soon as you set foot on the southern side of the Spenshon Bridge. Confusingly, the Ashton Court Estate is owned by Bristol City Council - the local authority with jurisdiction over it is still North Somerset though.

fuck me, a 3.6m fence round the entire site ain't cheap, that's got to be £50k+

The two go hand in hand innit:

We need to charge more becasue we have to pay for a fence.
We need to pay for a fence so we can force people to pay more.

My friend just got her ticket. With the booking fee and parking (she is pregnant and has two young kids) it cost her £36.

Why dont they just hold it in Bath,

Its got just as much to do with Bath these days as it has Bristol and they could charge more as Bath is Bristol's Theme Park.

One entrance fee and all the rides are free
