Tickets for festivals are getting more expensive - we compared them

You may have noticed ticket prices for your favourite festivals becoming more expensive each year.

Analysis by BBC News has found the cost of entry to the UK's major festivals has surged over the past decade - rising above the rate of inflation.

And fans are being hit in the pocket even more when you factor in the rising cost of food, drink, merchandise and travel.

But the hikes have been uneven, and a variety of factors are at play, our research shows.

Back in 2007, a ticket for Reading and Leeds cost £145. After taking inflation into account, this would be about £245 in today's money.

Entry to the same event in 2025 was £325 - this is £80 more than the adjusted 2007 amount, also known as the "real terms" price.

These real terms price rises differ sharply across the festivals, we have found.

Neither Glastonbury nor Wireless are holding an event this year so we have looked at the change between 2013 and 2025.
