    I was lucky enough to get 2 day tickets at the last minute, but there not for camping - ill prob end up sleeping in my car.
    This is my 1st time at oxegen so what will i be missing out on by not being allowed access to the camping area?

    I've known people who hang out in the carpark instead of the campsite and there's a good atmosphere depending on what your looking- if you plan on snoozing and happen to park beside the camper van with a generator and decks rigged up for an all night party you may not be so chuffed; but in true festival spirit I'm sure you could adapt and make the most of the fun. I guess there will be quiet spots in car park and also the not so quiet - there's usually a rumour that they won't allow tents in carpark but i don't see how they could actually stop you sleeping in your car! :D

    The carpark always seems to be lots of fun, all night raves etc. You'll have a great time, camping is better though!

    Did that myself when it was Witness and I'd got hold of some free 2 day tickets. I found the camping a bit overcrowded though and a bit dead compared to other fetsivals.

    camping at witness two years ago might have been a bit dull outside of our little area but we had a mad ould time of it anyway keeping our neighbours awake with pounding tunes and surreal chanting. last year the dullness was a bit more infectious but we did our best. people seemed more interested in getting up fresh as daisies to watch gigs though for some reason. pussies.

    I was comparing it with Glastonbury though, which is not exactly fair on the camping scene at any other festival. :rolleyes:

    Glastonbury is too pretentious(been there in the day when it was heavan, not anymore), the campsite is brilliant in oxegen, like anything , it is what you make it, good friends good drink good music and whatever else you can ingest, class.... try the deal with the guys at the gate , a few of my friends have done it,
