The spokesperson added: "Proceeds improve the facilities that are necessary to deliver the infrastructure and level of customer experience which helps us consistently achieve a high fan satisfaction rate. Surely the demand for camping and the issues the camping sites had with their online booking systems gave you a bit of a heads up and allowed the opportunity to do some upgrades and stress testing?
