"The Festival is known for its cheap weekend tickets that will be under £60 in 2011. The festival usually hosts around 3,500 people and therefore there is little mud and it is easy to place your tent."

This reads more like an advert than an encyclopedia entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.146.52 (talk) 10:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable and misleading environmental claims

The article states that the recycling rate for 2KT is 66%. Apart from being unsourced by the reference provided, this is only barely above the domestic recycling rate for the local authority in which it resides (Cotswold district, 60%). Other than the chip fat power generation, there is nothing particularly notable about this festival's environmental credentials compared to other British rock/pop festivals, so I am slashing that paragraph down to size. In particular, "green travel schemes that save visitors money the greener they are in their travel plans", when you dig down to the referenced source, seems to be limited to a shuttle bus to the local railway station, plus charging a fiver for two days' parking; that's actually less than half the cost of the cheapest daily parking in nearby Cheltenham town centre, where the cheapest is £5.50 for one day. I don't doubt that 2KT has great bands and provides value-for-money in a market saturated by commercial rip-off festivals, but please... don't pretend this festival is saving the planet.
