Value For Money
“This was amateur. Godskitchen are money grabbing...”
★☆☆☆☆
written by Ants in his pants on 09/08/2005
Good Points
Fairground rides were good but expensive.
Bad Points
High price of beer. Then they ran out of beer. Vodka was water. The outside was unlit and there were no signposts. G/F sprained her ankle falling over a hidden wire fence. Litter everywhere and no rubbish bins let alone recycling containers. Toilets unlit inside.
General Comments
This was amateur. Godskitchen are money grabbing gangsters.
-
No bands just people who play records.

This obviously just wasn't your kind of festival. Godskitchen... Amateur??? You obviously have absolutely no idea what your talking about, Godskitchen are up there with the best and are undoubtedly the best and biggest club in Britain and this festival was the best dance festival in recent years. There were no bands there because it is a 'Dance festival' and we don't want bands there and these 'people who play records' just happen to be the worlds best dj's who cost anything up to £20,000 per set; another reason for high price beer. Did you actually know which event you were going to??? If you went to watch bands play then you must of took a wrong turn.
<br>
<br>The price of beer was high because they don't want little drunks running riot everywhere causing trouble and fighting etc.. They ran out of beer and diluted the vodka for the same reason.
<br>
<br>There were flood lights everywhere?? I don't know where you were walking, the only places that weren't lit are the places that your not supposed to go! Did you G/F sprain her ankle in one of these unlit places by any chance?
<br>
<br>All toilets were portaloos, I don't think I have ever seen a portaloo with a light in! This is an outdoor music festival, what do you expect??? Clean toilet blocks with marble seats and toilet attendants??!
<br>
<br>In the camping section they had 4 massive big wheelie bins its just that people were too lazy to take their rubbish to them. Inside the event I was actually quite surprised at how many litter pickers there were.
<br>
<br>Next time you plan go to an event like this, call at specsavers before reading the flyer as you obviously misread... did you expect Tiesto to bring his drum kit? Or Judge Jules to bring his guitar??!

Ants seems to be the only one making a valid argument. Simply because you don't mind exorbitant prices, don't care about being served watered-down drinks, etc., does not mean the criticisms are invalid. I've never been to a dance festival because the very idea makes my skin crawl, but I have been to every other major UK festival (4 this summer alone) and several ones outside the UK and it seriously annoyes me (being polite) to no end when they don't light the carpark because you can spend an hour looking for your car. And I don't get why they would water down the vodka and try to pass it off as regular vodka - that sounds dodgy and is false advertising. They should be far more concerned about the numnuts running around off their heads on illegal drugs. And I haven't been in a festival portaloo that was not lit in about 7 years (Glasto '99 in fact). As a female, knowing how boys can't aim after a few drinks, being able to see inside those things is essential otherwise Lord knows what you sit in or what your trousers may fall in. Eew.

you blatently do not appreciate dance music and Global do you dude?!!! I have been to 8 dance festivals, including Homelands 3 times, Creamfields and Global, this was by far the best i have ever been to. The atmosphere was electric, the Djs on offer were beyond belief and as for the beach stage...WOW! You need to attend some more to appreciate how good Global 2006 was!! Anyone else agree??

Well all I can say is dont bother going next year.. If you spent as much time relaxin and enjoying the fact that its the best festival around and all the best DJ's are there you would have a far better time.
<br>
<br>Godskitchen have been going years and are one of the best so to say there money grabbers is wrong.
<br>
<br>STOP MOANIN OR JUST DONT BUY A TICKET

Hi Fiona
<br>
I know not to expect bands, and that really wasn't an issue I have been going to raves since 1990. It was in the form the question "What bands were headlining?" That is all. I don't give care about top name dj's who command massive money to play records. They simply aren't worth it, as most have hardly any skill, though some are musicians like Fat Boy Slim. They are laughing at the mugs who pay them £20,000 for a set. A lot of people don't get that as an annual salary. Next point: The car park was not lit, and that is where my girlfriend tripped up in the dark. There were no lights where we were told to park. No indications of which way to go, just guided by the lights of the fairground in the distance. WE were not trespassing. I accept your reasons for diluting the vodka, but not to then charge £5 for it as it was only water. I agree that the price of beer will help prevent drunkeness, and therefore loutish behaviour, but why did you run out of the stuff? I couldn't buy a second can! Now, if you go to The Big Chill, which is in a stunning setting, by the way the place is spotless, and the portaloos are lit inside! There are bins & recycling containers, and dozens of litter clearers working non stop. They don't run out of beer either. That is a professional outfit.
