Glastonbury 2025

How’s the company gone bust when its only job was to rent out tents in a field and charge £10k plus for the privilege?! And those who paid despite only being able to do so via bank transfer, unlucky.

Does make you wonder what overheads they could have to spunk all that money away.

Anyway I'd guess if you can pay £10k plus to stay in a fucking tent in a field, even as part of a pro rata group you'll not miss the money in the vast majority of cases.

I'm sure the people running it made sure they paid themselves handsomely before liquidating the limited company.
 
Don't think it says in that article but it'd be interesting to see how long the company has been trading for. If it's been going years before going bump this time then you'd say the people buying have been very unlucky. If this is the first time they've done it this year then it has scam written all over it.

Yurtel operated outsideGlastonbury’s borders but offered hospitality tickets to the festival,
A luxury glamping provider serving Glastonbury festivalgoers is going into liquidation, leaving its wealthy guests without their yurts or chauffeured rides to the Pyramid Stage.
Yurtel, a pioneer of luxury camping, operated for 17 years and boasted of running “the only luxury camp that can drive our guests straight into the festival to our on-site festival reception”.
The yurts and bell tents, restaurant, cocktail bar and wood-fired hot tubs are beyond the festival’s borders but customers could enjoy a five-minute drive to the hospitality area behind the Pyramid Stage.
Yurtel described their luxury tents as “the finest canvas accommodation available”
Guest chefs who have designed menus at the camp include Thomasina Miers, the MasterChef winner and founder of the Wahaca restaurant chain, and Ravinder Bhogal, who is behind the Jikoni restaurant in London.
Glamping sites that are not part of Glastonbury can pay the organisers for an allocation of hospitality tickets to offer to guests, but after the news of their liquidation the festival said that Yurtel had not requested or paid for any tickets this year, despite taking bookings.
Yurtel’s founder, Mickey Luke, 49, whose full name is Michael Geoffrey Paul Suenson-Luke, lives in Bath with his wife, who is a jeweller, and their three children.
The company’s registered office address was a £2 million grade II listed detached home in the village of St Catherine, on the outskirts of Bath.
‘Tickets have not been purchased on your behalf’

I wonder how long before they stopped taking money did they know it was heading for insolvency?
