Yeah, I don't spend much at all, just food and beer from tescos and that's it (usually about 30 quid tops).

You'll probably want to take quite a bit if you're planning on buying drinks in the arena though, it's about 3.50 a pint, although some people cosy up to the drinks staff and manage to get cheaper drinks. Or alternatively, it's quite easy to sneak cans into the arena if you go around the back and use the staff entrance (I don't think it's officially allowed, but it's done anyway). 50 + card should do you fine.

If you realise you need more money early on, it's probably best to get to an ATM before the general public start arriving. ATM queues during the festival are usually hell, there are some ATMs on site (that charge about 2 quid a transcation) but the queues for them are horrendous.

For Latitude you will be able to get meal vouchers from the CAT office at the reduced price of £3.99 per voucher. The cost of all vouchers you use will be deducted from your end of season deposit return. Orange Festival Foods have also produced a lower cost snack menu - we'll pop details of this into the news this week.
