2011 or 2012:
There was free mini bus from & to S Bahn, included in the
5 Euro entry. Garchinger Weg is a long way on a hot day as it
has no trees for shade.
2015.06.28:
- We cycled there, & met other
beer gardeners who had come by S-Bahn
, Cycle, & Car
.
-
The 12 Euro entry price we felt a rip off from 5 Euro in 2012.
-
We wouldn't have paid to go in, except it was too late
to re-arrange :
- we had the day before arranged to meet friends
there assuming it would be similar reasonable pricing
to our last visit.
- A friend had earlier said it was 12
EU including 10 EU food & drink vouchers (seems
that was campers only?).
- Another friend ahead (who had
heard 10+2=12) , had just paid to go in, vouchers
forgotten. When
asked where his food & drink vouchers were ?
Vendor was surprised & said it's 12
Euros, & no vouchers!)
-
We received just orange arm bands
with a [serial?] number,
No tickets, no receipts. Missing info:
- No Tax number for who pays MWST &
Einkommensteuer to Finanzamt.
- No name & address of Veranstalter responsible
for fairground safety & security.
- The "Programm" leaflet did not declare organiser
or printer.
- The Impressum after on www.greenfarmfestival.de
seems to be just for the web publisher, not for Veranstalter.
- Despite good weather there were far fewer visitors than
our last visit when price was reasonable, (also a Sunday
afternoon, similar weather): The first side stall we passed
had no customers, outside continued sparse, not so many
visitors as before. A friend who knew a vendor in a bigger
stand
said no stand visits/ sales in hours.
- We missed favourite stand(s), eg
no stand with wide selections of
British pies. Just British Allsorts had an English type food
stand, with a few pies & lots of crisps. (Bavarian food
stand omitted, we'd come for Irish/British Isles type food /
drink / atmosphere).
- Another major stand further down on left (South East)
toward sport field was completely empty, just the canvas
roof, a no show or evacuated Sunday as insufficient customers
?
- Maybe they heavily increased prices for stand pitches as
well as for visitors ? High prices then deterring numbers of
visitors & sellers ? Low numbers of each then likely to
mutually deter further ? They should revert to reasonably
prices before they deter more.
- The cycle group, (smaller than
usual, (possibly some cyclists
&/or Beer Gardeners might have been
deterred by seeing the 12 EU price on the Green Farm URL
copied to our mail lists ?)) ... searched music areas for
friends
,
then sat outside away from music to drink under sun umbrellas
in partly fresh air (dodging as much smoke as possible:
despite few visitors, not enough tables had sun
umbrellas).
- The heavily raised entry price
we felt excessive, & with less stands & visitors less
attractive.
- 12 Euros/head bought nothing for cyclists, except
entry to buy a 5 Euro meat pie, & Guinness at 4.5 EU/ 0.5
litre, or Kilkenny. We chose to sit Away from the music
, & the
stands we expected to buy from were absent. We
decided not to go next year; We can cycle a similar route to Freising, with 12
Euro per head extra remaining in our pockets for other beer
gardens.
