Activities to include golf, horse riding, photography workshops, highland walks, watching Ben play the piano and presumably do the other activities. You will be welcomed to the festival by a pipe and dance band!
Prices between $1,999 and $5,899 for rooms but if that seems a little steep then don’t worry, there’s an instalment plan.
Found out about this through targeted advertising on Facebook so I guess I better go eh.
How long before Ben folds’ Festival folds
It popped up on mine too!
Ben will join us for the first hour of the talent show
Apparently he’s already done something similar in Cuba. All seems like a strange career move. Perhaps it’s a logical parallel to stuff like the Weezer cruise, but the idea of rich ultra-fans forking out for access to Ben is particularly odd.
If you go but don’t get a round of golf with Ben can you sue them?
The talent show in particular just sounds incredibly uncomfortable to me
‘Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation.’
Is he?
So basically going on holiday with Ben folds? To be fair - it’s 4 nights stay, so let’s say £600 a day?
Hotel stay - all your food, the concerts and some other itinery bits etc etc
The hanging out with Ben folds bit has I guess doubled the normal cost - and I can’t understand who would want to do that - but I don’t think it’s totally ridiculous ( I mean obviously it is but I think that’s kind of market rates for hanging out with your fave pop star (im seeing Todd Rundgren in April and there where tickets for that if you wanted to go and meet him afterwards which were about £320!!!))
so for $1,999 they allocate you with somebody else ‘based on age and gender’ if you don’t specify a room-mate; $2,999 for privacy. can get a similar setup on Hostelworld for about £7
Unless they’re doing some kind of staggered announcements, Folds is the only name listed on the artists page 
Imagine if the festival was near Christmas and then had to cancel just before its fifth year

Well I thought about Ben Folds’ Scotland Getaway
And I said “son, you’re fucking hight”
Seen and enjoyed Folds live in the past, but this ‘experiential event for music and art lovers of all ages’? Battle of who could care less, mate.
Ben Folds is pretty much my favourite musician, but there’s no way I can afford this even though I fit into the “white/male/40s” thing.
I don’t know. I suppose it’s doing something different, but unless I win the lottery this isn’t happening for me. As someone mentioned above, he did it in Cuba but there were a larger number of potential customers there I guess.
I’m saving my money for the ‘My Vitriol Butlins Skegness Weekend Extravaganza’
Highlight is the Mini Golf round with the band.
Dunno - the website makes so much of the Scottishness that I think this is squarely aimed at Americans.
Brexits too good for us
Yeah that makes sense. It sounds almost like Scottish Disney experience.
He must have done the maths and realise there are fans who would pay this sort of cash. Also if you’re willing/able to fund the rest of it, flights on top doesn’t sound ludicrous.
Whats not included
Not sure whether that’s a joke or not, given how earnest the spiel is.
that castle is going to be full of Atholls
Colour TVs though!
Excellent work
