Furious Glastonbury Festival revellers have had to bear the brunt of drink price hikes again – with some as high as £12.90.

Thousands flocking to the major music event have been left mortified by the ‘criminal’ prices after the full on-site bar list was shared online.

A pint of beer or cider will set punters back an average of £6.90, with the most expensive at £7.20. Burrow Hill is selling the cider for cheapest at £6.60.

Cans will cost £6.50, whilst a glass of wine is a staggering £8 a bottle of wine is £32 or for prosecco it’s £43. 

Meanwhile, spirits range from £7.95 to nearly £13.

You’ll get a better bargain with soft beverages, but festival-goers will still be expected to fork out £5 for energy drinks, and a half pint of juice is £3.

A small can of water is £2.50 – while a bottle of water at the Village Inn will cost punters an eye-watering £7.50.

Last year, the average pint was £6.75 – marking a 20p increase this year.

The headline acts for this year are fan favourites The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo (pictured performing at the event last year), Neil Young and Charli xcx

More than 200,000 fans have been descending on Worthy Farm in Somerset for the five-day event which started yesterday.

The headline acts for this year are fan favourites The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young and Charli xcx.

Fans, some who spent up to £400 on the tickets, took to social media to complain about the shocking prices.

One said: ‘Disguising prices with small numbers after the decimal point is seriously f***ing lame.’

‘£2.50 for a can of water is criminal,’ with another adding: ‘Glad they prioritised people’s health with £7.50 bottles of water.’

Some complained the prices were not worth the value: ‘Some of those prices are insane. 43 quid for a bottle of wine! You can buy a quality vintage for that money.’

Another chimed in: ‘Drink prices at events these days are ridiculous. They’ve basically doubled in about 4 years. 

‘I’m taking multiple cool boxes and frozen water bottles and will buy extra ice on Sunday. Last year only bought 3 drinks and had coldies all festie. No queues either!’

One joked: ‘And I thought I’d splashed out stocking up on M&S cocktail cans – turns out to be the budget option!!’

Many other festival goers have opted to stock up on their favourite ready-to-drink cocktail cans to avoid the sky-high bar prices, as Aldi reports sales for the budget beverages – as low as £1.09 – have jumped a whopping 110 per cent.

But the reactions were mixed, with many suggesting the bar prices were reasonable.

One said: ‘It’s just the same as in any city centre bar.’

‘Not bad on the price Increase from last year. I think they’ve kept it reasonable,’ another said.

A third joked: ‘Well it’s cheaper than a pint in London. So technically, I’m winning.’
