A Glastonbury weekend has more line items than people realise, and most of them aren't on the official site. You've got the ticket (£378 + booking fee + coach), the kit (tent, gas, chairs), the cash float for cashless-cash-machines that always fail at 11pm Friday, the on-site food, the off-site Aldi run before you go in, and the inevitable post-festival train back. We've broken down a worked example for a group of four below - real numbers, defensible ranges, and exactly how to split each line.
Tickets and coach (~£430 per person, paid up front)
The standard adult ticket is £378.50 (2026 prices, including the £5 booking fee). If you got a coach package, add ~£50 for return travel from a major UK city. Glastonbury runs coach-and-ticket sales as one transaction, so the £430 lands on whoever's card was fastest in the queue at 9am back in November. That person fronted ~£1,720 for a group of four - track this as a single expense in EvenRound on day one, before anyone starts forgetting.
Pre-festival kit (~£40-80 per person, one-off)
Tent (if you don't already have one): £80-150 split across the group. Gas canister, stove, mallet, tarp, gaffer tape, ear plugs - call it £60 for the group. One person usually does the Argos run; log the receipt as a single expense and split equally. Don't try to apportion who used the mallet more.
On-site food and drink (~£40-60/day per person)
A pint is £7. A burger is £14. A coffee is £5. Most groups settle in around £50/day per person on-site, which is £150 across the three full days. The trick is to track these as you go - the temptation is to 'sort it later' and 'later' is a 3am argument on Sunday night. Snap a photo of the receipt; EvenRound's AI scan extracts the line items.
The group fund (~£100 per person, optional but useful)
If your group does communal beer runs, the cleanest pattern is a shared pot. Each person puts £100 in upfront; one person is the keeper. As beers/burgers come from the pot, log them as paid by the keeper with all four people as participants. At the end, whatever's left gets returned or rolled into the post-festival pub. This is much cleaner than 'who's getting this round.'
The actual settle-up (one payment, end of festival)
By Sunday afternoon you've got: tickets fronted by one person, kit fronted by another, food expenses spread across all four. EvenRound's smart settlement collapses this into the minimum number of transfers. For four people with rough parity in spend, you usually end up with 2-3 transfers total. Each person sees one number; pay it from the train home.
Across a four-person group with mid-range spending, expect ~£700 per person all-in (ticket, coach, kit, food, fund). Start a EvenRound group the day tickets are bought; log everything as it happens; settle up on the train home. The maths is done by the time you're back in your own bed.
