'I will be going next year, even if I have to sell my wife...'
That's a bit harsh that is. Couldn't you try renting her out first?

I think that this mis-og-on-istic tendency in the this topic should be diverted. (That's what Ms. Cyfarthfa said when she sneaked in anyway).
So-
Do you have small children that you could put to gainful employment?
Even the proceeds of a paper round- if carefully husbanded- would, over a year make a tidy contribution to the cost of admission.
You could withhold pocket money for a range of petty offenses, think of how soon this would accumulate in 'daddies' special box'.
Even reducing either the quality or quantity of your wifes' wine would help a little, if carefully invested in a high interest account.
See, there is much you can do short of selling your wife.

I am currently lacking in the wife department, I am however willing to always borrow someone's wife to sell. This charitable act would relieve the doner of any guilt. If we all did this there would be almost no problems caused in obtaining tickets for the festival. (can hear the sounds of a thousand pieces of cutlery being thrown into the drawer *just* loud enough, and several dozen arms being crossed with raised eyebrows and the "uh-huh" sigh) By the way, in my past experience, wives have rubbish taste in wine, normally being assuaged by cheap bottles of too oaky Chardonnay, sometimes horrifically mixed as a spritzer, and often obtained from cheap German supermarkets. I am of course currently a bit "McNulty'd" on several thumbs of Laphroaig. |

Not all wine from 'cheap German supermarkets' is that bad you know. Aldi do a rather nice Cremant d' Jura for about a fiver which is very drinkable. |
