Outrageous price of ONE scoop of ice cream at Glastonbury revealed as customers forced to fork out £5

GLASTONBURY revellers are having to fork out £5 for just a single scoop of ice cream. One truck seen by The Sun reporters is charging festivalgoers the steep price point for a single ice cream with chocolate flake in a cone. 1 Sweet-toothed ravers are also being asked to cough up £5 for raspberry and strawberry Slushies and £4.50 for fruit frozen lollies. It comes after Glasto fans slammed the "ridiculous" price of food bought from stalls on Friday. A TikTokker known as sparked debate on social media after posting a clip of himself eating some French toast he'd bought. The sweet breakfast option with maple syrup costed £6 and came with three half slices of toast. But fellow TikTok users were quick to point out that meant the stall was charging £2 for half a slice of toast. "£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," one said. Another said: "That's Glastonbury for ya...", however, another argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival. Elsewhere at the festival, food trucks have been spotted selling loaded fries for £14 and Mac and Cheese for up to £16. Punters have also been faced with paying up to 40p extra for a pint at this year's festival. Pints of draught cider and beer cost from £6.95 to £7.20, up from £6.75 last year. A double shot of a spirit with a mixer is £13. Soft drinks like Cola Cola, Lemonade and Apple juice are the same price as last year, costing £3. The full on-site bar list was shared online, leaving some fans gobsmacked at the price hike from 2024. Some branded the prices "absolutely disgusting" while others were keen to be more positive. One said: "To be fair, at least at Glasto you can take your own alcohol in!" Glastonbury has been hit with controversy this year following Kneecap leading chants of "free Palestine" during their performance yesterday. The Sun asked Glastonbury to comment.
