Yep. A mate has a food stall so I'll do a bit of work with him. It'll be my 11th or 12th Bluesfest and the 5th one I've worked at with him (worked with a different mate last year). It's bloody exxy to go these days otherwise. A one-day pass is $187, three days $482 and five days $695 and that doesn't include camping which is $90 for one day, $177 for three and $294 for five. Entry is 20% off for locals and it is an incredible lineup every year, but still. It used to be a lot cheaper 15-20 years ago.
Or you could do an
@eZyT and get someone like me to send you a photo of their staff pass, print and laminate it, put it in a Tigers 2017 membership lanyard, chuck on a hi-vis, rock up to the gate and say "We're with Midnight Oil, where do the bands go?", get in for free, get freaked out by/pissed of with the crowd, leave before the Oils even start, and catch Covid anyway. (I caught Covid too but at least I saw the Oils and took home a grand in cash.)
