Glastonbury mud for sale on eBay

Metro13 April 2012

Music fans who failed to get a ticket for Glastonbury can pretend they were there - by buying some authentic festival mud.

Two entrepreneurs have stuck samples of Glastonbury soil on auction website eBay.

One seller says he scraped the mud from the boots of his son, who squeezed to the front of the Pyramid Stage to watch Oasis, Sir Paul McCartney and Muse on Sunday.

He adds: 'Stored in a plastic bag (with a piece of straw and grass for company), this should arrive with the early dew still soaking into it.' As Metro went to press last night, he had attracted six offers and a top bid of £2.36.

A second lot, put up by an artist who framed his mud, was going for £1. Meanwhile, a string of bootleg CDs of this year's performances are already for sale on the website.
