People have been left in shock after seeing a menu with drinks costing up to hundreds of thousands of pounds circulating online.
Like train stations, airports and regular concert venues, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that buying drinks inside festivals is pretty pricey. After all, once you’re inside you can’t really spend an extended period of time not eating or drinking.
However, even when you consider the inflated nature of festival drinks, you’d still hope they wouldn’t pass the £100 mark for a round of beers or a sandwich.
Unfortunately that’s not always the case, with US festival Ultra Miami currently going viral after one attendee snapped a photo of the drinks list and shared it online.

The annual electronic music event takes place in Downtown Miami every March, with this year’s festivities taking place on the last weekend of the month.
Tickets for the festival typically cost around $350 (£270) for the whole three day event, however it would appear that drinks can cost a lot more.
According to a screenshot of the menu shared on X by YouTuber Mike Majlak, attendees looking to fork out for the event’s premium bottle service could be looking to pay anywhere from $7500 (£5,700) for six bottles of Dom Perignon’s finest to a whopping $425,000 (£328,000) for something called the ‘F**k You Money’ package.
This apparently comes complete with 200 bottles of Moet Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose, 100 bottles of Dom Perignon Brut Luminous, and 100 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose Luminous.
We’re not joking, take a look at the image below:
Unsurprisingly, the image has since gone viral online, with plenty of people shocked that such drinks for drinks – even super high end ones – even exist.
“Ultra Miami drinks prices,” one person wrote tweeted. “Games so gone.”
“Half a million for a bottle package…” replied a second user, while a third added: “It’s crazy people think this is cool and a flex. Absolutely wild to me.”
Of course this is referring to premium bottle service, a fancy thing which wealthy people do by reserving a table and purchasing expensive alcohol for themselves and friends.
So what if you’re looking for the more traditional drinking experience of getting your booze by the glass? Surely then it’s more reasonable?
Well, the answer to that is yes and no.
Looking further up the menu, you can see that a six-pack of Stella or half a dozen bottles of Evian water would set you back around $80 (£61), which works out at roughly a tenner per drink.
So much cheaper than you’re fanciest table service, but still by no means value for money.
