hirsty: That essentially replicates my experience there. The whole gig had an overwhelming feeling of "The organisers are here to exploit you for all your money and do not care for your wellbeing". Someone died the year I was there.
The main problem I had was the lack of availability of water. There were many numerous food vans selling the usual food - burgers, kebabs, ice cream, chips, whatever. These kind of places would usually sell the associated beverages, including water.
The verbatim quote I got from many vendors at the festival was "Sorry, we've been told we're not allowed to sell water. You'll have to go to the main bars instead". The queues there were huge, and the water was expensive, and sold in cups rather than sealable, re-usable bottles. Half way through the second day, the conscience of some of the vendors came into play and they started selling bottled water on the sly.
Essentially, don't waste your time or money. It is a horrendously shit commercial festival that exists to rip people off and cares nothing for their safety.
