MUSIC fans say high prices at Reading are making it impossible for them to shower acts in the traditional hail of urine.
The festival is charging £10 for a 250ml bottle, up 20 percent on last year, and has banned fans from using any urine they may have brought with them under threat of ejection.
A festival spokesman said: “The official throwing urine is 40 percent pig, 20 percent horse and 40 percent rosewater. It’s pungent, long-lasting and environmentally friendly.”
Tom Booker, from Basingstoke, said: “With acts like Blink-182, Skrillex and of course Liam Gallagher, this year’s festival is a piss-thrower’s dream.
“But I can’t afford the £40 it’s going to take to thoroughly soak The Wombats in human waste and without that I’d just be watching them.
“Next year I’ll stay home and throw my own urine at my own television.”
