Question What do you reckon..........

The major bands get paid for a couple of hours at Glastonbury? Just curious.

£10,000?

I hope they give it all to charity. As well as planting a Tree to offset their carbon footprint for traveling to the festival.

If they play for free then Id like to know where £26,000,000 (in ticket sales alone, never mind the revenue generated by onsite traders) goes.....?

Mr Evis was interviewed the other day about this and they actually demanded £400,000 but the timing was never right.

why do you think it's 145 quid a ticket?

Everyone gets paid - even the litter pickers...

Well, FWIW, a certain band I used to produce, got paid £400,000 for 15 mins work (on a Dutch TV station)........

Everybody gets paid too
