As festival season rolls on and the mud, magic and mayhem of Glastonbury 2016 fades into memory, we're already looking forward to what Glasto next year will hold - as so much has changed over the last five decades.
Glastonbury tickets go on sale around October every year, and are always snapped up in record time long before the line-up is even announced - with a price tag of £228.
But looking back to the original Glastonbury Festival back in 1970, tickets cost just £1.
Glastonbury 1970 was held the day after Jimi Hendrix died, and when around 1500 people attended, it was headlined by Tyrannosaurus Rex - stepping in for the Kinks who failed to show up. Also, for that princely sum, you also got a free carton of milk from a local dairy farm.
So, that's a price hike of 22,700% - which may sound like a lot, but when you put into mind 47 years of inflation and how now the festival sprawls to cover countless festivals, hundreds of artists and so many areas that boast a world within a world, that's pretty good value for money.

As Digital Spy points out, competitors such as Reading Festival has seen a 10,500% increase from £2 in 1971 to £213 in 2016, while Isle of Wight Festival seen a 15,500% rise from £1.25 in 1968 to £195 this year.
