    Hey all, iv been toying with the idea of buying tickets now for next years EP, however on their website I can't see any option for a weekend camping ticket, all only family tickets or loyalty discount options.

    Can someone clarify which option j should be looking for in order to purchase a weekend camping ticket??

    Thank you

    On ticketmaster there's an option for just normal early bird tickets at 194 euro.

    Does anybody know if the €155 early bird tickets will be available again this year?

    Thinking of going to Electric Picnic 2015 and getting a family camping ticket. Does anyone know if you have to have the kids with you all weekend to get in? The idea is to go ourselves for Friday and Saturday and then kids join us on sunday.

    There was a court case last year which delayed tickets going on sale. That is all fully resolved so you should buy your early bird before the deadline to save yourself a few euro's

    You might have to notify EP closer to the time, I think you still have to register children coming to the festival.

    You will have to look into it. I know there is no problem doing it the other way around, as in having the children with you for the first night or two and then going solo. The problem with your plan is that before you have swapped your ticket for a wristband you are stopped at the gate upon entering family camping to make sure you have a child/children with you, then allowed through.

    When you go to get your wristband the same thing happens, check for a child, you register your phone number on the child's wristband etc. Once you are in, you are in though. Would you consider doing it the other way around?

    I'm sure there is a way around it, but it may be easier to reverse your plan.

    will have to be with the kids when getting wristband, so it will not work and you will be given standard bands without access to family on the friday

    So I got my discount code from EP a week or so ago, purchased my tickest through the instalment scheme. The end of the email states the following:

    "PLEASE NOTE - INSTALMENT TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED BY MIDNIGHT 30TH SEPTEMBER 2014 TO AVAIL OF THE DISCOUNT PRICES. NO INSTALMENT ON DISCOUNT TICKETS ARE AVILABLE AFTER THIS TIME"

    Im presuming so that the tickets will be full wack in 2015 with no discounts available. Just though Id post the info case anyone is wavering about when to buy the ticket. Also have a 3discount code Im not using if anyone wants it!
