I get that, I just bring it up to shake things a bit. 89 and 143 is not just a small difference, it is almost doubling the price. VAT differences hardly justify such a gap.What Bob says, yes. It is simply much cheaper to organize a festival in France. Rock En Seine, We Love Green, Cabaret Vert... all have day tickets between 60 and 100 euros as well. Even though, in terms of big names, they are fishing in the same pond as RW and Pukkelpop.
Of course the fact that RW announces more names per day than MS can ultimately justify the price difference.
Yet as long as two festivals announce the same top names, to me it is relevant to somehow compare what both offer. And it seems obvious to me that for its price, MS does offer a really, really good deal. It is impressive, already now.
Yet it remains important to see WHICH of those additional names are valuable.
Muse and NBT surely represent a high share of the cost of the day.
Let's be positive and hope RW has good fillers.
