Punters derives from people placing a bet, or having a punt. So from gambling and horses it became the term more generally used for any group having paid a price of admission, because they are “having a go” at the experience or taking a punt on it. It’s very common in media here but less in the daily lexicon.
Bluesfest has been going for yonks though, so no idea about why it’s suddenly gone to shit.
Thanks!
