Hmmm.

Greenbelt festival ticket prices for two adults and two children, tier 2 rate, bought in early summer = £510

Plus campervan/vehicle passes. Plus tent passes or tent rental. But we'll assume it's only the ticketed price rather than the additional £230-odd for a pre pitched tent plus parking.


Apparently, around 20,000 people attend. Let's assume that nobody goes top tier and that there are equal numbers of adults and children rather than the larger families often associated with some faith groups. It will probably balance out over the reduced prices for children, concessions with the later tier prices.

5000 families of four x £510 = £2,550,000.


Let us assume that she only managed to get 5% of gate. 5% of over two and a half million is £127,500. If she got 1%, that was £25,500.



She's either bullshitting big time or no wonder she's howling and wailing about not getting to go to festivals for the last couple of years.


There's one called the Stone Cold Sober Festival. £800 for that same 2+2 family. 100 camping spaces. £80,000. 5% of that if she were to be invited to speak about booze and drugs stuff, veganism or other such things that are firmly in her niche when she's after some income = £4,000. Plus a free ticket, expenses, etc...

Oh excellent, some JackMaths. Thank(space)you for breaking it down. So if each speaker goes after 5% of the gate price on an £80k-generating event, that means if the organisers arrange 12 speakers across a 4-day event there's only 40% of the takings left for every other cost from marquee/stage/venue hire, staffing, promotional activity, etc etc. or, only those speakers who insist on an outlandish fee get an outlandish fee and the rest get buttons/expected to do it for free? Make it make sense.

One of my friends is in a band and I am DYING to ask how much the band gets for festivals but that would be horribly gauche so I shan't.

I have some idea, there’s a price list that gets sent about to those in such an industry, bands will have set fees for different festivals based on location but also the bands popularity. It’s easily more than a mil for a headliner. Maybe our favourite rock Dinosaur Snr knows more.

But yeah asking for %of ticket sales is more like getting door splits, which is more of a small scale thing that you get in the local pub/venue, paid £70 to turn up plus amount of ticket sales

To add to my earlier nugget post - per the chicken breast Jack admitted to burning last week, she's using Smart Price frozen chicken breasts (82% chicken, with water "for added succulence" according to Mr Asda 🤢). Here are the most recent reviews:

Virtually every recipe, every ingredient she uses (still stunned about that awful looking bacon) would deffo give me constant diarrhoea, my family would kick me out of the kitchen never to cook again if I delivered up her muck. She must be creating a nation of very sick people if lots of her followers are using these recipes and tips.

Yes, absolutely x

Still grunking so don't know if there's any more details on Mr Raa Raa's brother but who could actually be bothered with spilling all your mundane life with strangers online.

I still cringe when my Harold Bishop smells of biscuits multiple post gets mentioned, Jack's cringe function must have LEFT a long time ago.
