- Mail Sport reported Tuesday how fans were furious with alcoholic prices
- Now we reveal the anger directed towards the non -alcoholic options of “handkerchief”
- A chief of the Cheltenham Festival insists that it is the first increase in the price since 2022
You will find yourself out of pocket even if you want to stay sober at the Marquee de Horse Racing event.
No matter alcoholic beverages, the drummers of the Cheltenham Festival have been destroying the exorbitant costs of non -alcoholic options this year.
Price Masters in Prestbury Park are so comfortable with the drainage of wallets that even a Guinness 'zero' alcohol pint goes to thirsty consumers for a sum of £ 7.40, only 40p below the regular cost.
Meanwhile, a 330 ml bottle of alcohol beer demands £ 4 of any sip candidate.
The price has divided the online opinion, with some fun search engines on 'blatant profits', while others insist that it is not so bad.
“There is no duty to pay in Guinness Zero, but it is the same price as the Guinness alcoholic, Quirching,” a user wrote in X.
The cheltenham festival traigators were horrified to see the price of non -alcoholic beverages
The particular anger has been directed towards the price of non -alcoholic Guinness only 40p under its toxic cousin
“Flagrant expense since there is no duty at 0.0,” said another.
“£ 7.40 for a pint of black water,” he said, adding three smiling emojis.
“Give 4-5 years and the alcohol industry will be finished and they will only have to blame,” added another.
“0% is taking the Mick,” said one.
But other thinkers insisted that such prices were even for the course for an important event.
“God, these people who complain about £ 7.40 for a pint want to try a music festival or a football match,” he said.
“That is not bad for an event,” added another.
The attack on non -alcoholic prices occurs only one day after the festival attendees criticized regular alcoholic rates.
Despite the planned record sales of Guinness this year, Cheltenham bosses have decided to increase the price of popular bevarje in 30p, charging the trainers £ 7.80.
A fan shared a receipt of a round of four Guinness with Mail Sport, reaching the cost of £ 31.20.
Wine lovers will feel disappointed when discovering that a 187 ml costs £ 9.70, while spirits are maintained between £ 7.20 and £ 7.30.
The soft drinks have a price of £ 3.10, while foamy or quiet water would cost £ 2.50, an increase of 10 pence compared to last year.
Guy Lavender, executive director of the Cheltenham racecourse, said: 'Despite being affected by the increase in the price of goods and services in the current climate exactly in the same way as other industries and businesses, the price of a pint at the Cheltenham festival had not increased from 2022 until this season.
'When considering how to set the price of food and drink, we compare with locally comparable places, while taking into account the associated costs such as temporary facilities and the largest staff to address significantly larger crowds. As part of this year's festival review and with next season in mind, we will look again at the ongoing prices.
