Title: Music Festival Taxi's
Post by: kempie on 22 October 2011, 16:48

guys need some help here and your all friendly enough so here goes....

how many of you guys go to festivals? how many of you hate carring all your sh!te from the car/drop off point to the camp site/village just inside the gates?

what if there was a service that let you (once you have got your wrist band) pay upto £10 to jump on one of these at the car park with all your gear and beer

then take you upto the campsite/gate?

thoughts/ comments please guys

i would pay £10 if that was me, the mrs and our gear. only trouble is car part - gate is the easy bit. gate to camp is the slog usually

but, would you pay 10 to get from the gate, to the campsite? i was thinking like, at least for a tenner, going from the car park -especially if you're looking at it from download's p.o.v-straight to the campsite, you'd be getting your moneys worth? if it were going from gate to campsite, i'd probably only charge a fiver per run, drop them in the middle of a campsite then go back again..

but, i don't know...

edit: i had a sudden brain wave;  :grin:

what if i were to charge 5 from the gates to the campsite on wednesday to thursday. And then 10 from the campsites to the drop off/pick up points on the sunday/monday, because let's face it, when the weather's sh!t & it's muddy, who wants to walk with ALL their stuff back to the car park..  :smiley:

I'd check on insurance costs and access from the festival organisers, in all honesty would they just see you as an additional H&S risk?

And for what's its worth at download I'd Definately pay for you to get me from car to campsite. It's a bastard trek!

I think that's quite an important part, because what it might cost you in fees and insurance could outweigh what you'll make. Also, have you seen the pedestrian crowds at festivals?! Getting through the crowds would be pretty difficult too.
