Festival with friends: how much does the weekend cost per person?
A big festival in Germany usually lasts three to four days. The ticket is the biggest item, plus travel, camping and food.
Sharing tent, gazebo and barbecue and shopping together saves a lot – but you need to settle up properly afterwards.
Sample budget per person
6 adults, 4 days of camping at a big festival in Germany, travel in two cars

- Plan the group shop in advance; drinks on site are expensive.
- Anyone bringing gear that everyone uses can enter a share as an expense.
- Parking tickets and rubbish deposits are often per car – split them among the passengers.
