As people attending the concerts are strictly prohibited from taking their own food and drink into the site, the local off licences and food shops would be foolish to overstock. From the BBC website: No food or drink can be taken into the site - with the exception of personal supplies of water in a plastic container with an unbroken seal (up to 500 ml per person); or special medical supplies ...
