If you are part of the wider majority of the ‘good’ music loving population there is a greater than high chance you, like me, and the rest of our penny-less majority cannot afford a ticket to the most expensive, envious and fun loving festival of the year – Splendour in the Grass.
You may have cried about it, you may have begged your parents for a hefty loan, or you may have contemplated using a few months of Centrelink payments to buy yourself a ticket. Someone wise once said that the best things in life are free. I would, for this situation, alter this statement to read the best things in life are cheap and in following that notion this means a ticket to Splendour may not the best thing out there.
But a ticket to Too Poor for Splendour just might be. Featuring a rather full lineup of good local bands that will definitely get you in the festival façade without the multi hundred-dollar entry fee. Plus, there’s a licensed bar that promises not to be as overpriced.
You don't need a tonne of money to appreciate good music. Head on down to the poor man’s (and woman’s) Splendour this Saturday.
