Im going on a timoco package from London. the credit card holders name can go on all the tickets but they have to be there. read that on the site.

Hey.. I booked it on my credit card and the pdf e-ticket they sent me has my name on it. It didn't ask for the second name though and my package is for two people. Is your package for one or two pax?

Toast · 09-04-2012 8:25pm

Are all tickets for this personalised? As in they're all tied to the original buyer to prevent people reselling them?

Surely if in some case the original buyer cant go and gives/sells his ticket to someone that should be alloud

Vishnumalani · 10-04-2012 10:31am

The original buyer has to be present as far as I know. It makes things pretty inconvenient I feel. As far as the packages go it may be possible to change the names according to timoco.

MikeyGorse · 10-04-2012 2:45pm

Only time will tell I guess but i'd be pretty confident that they won't check names eventhough it says so on the site.

Stretchryan · 10-04-2012 3:12pm

At Pukkelpop and Rock Wrecther they do check names against the ticket - but easy enough get Fake ID online.

MikeyGorse · 10-04-2012 3:15pm

Do ID&T run them also?

ronanc15 · 10-04-2012 7:03pm

Is there certain types of IDs required or is it any photo ID in general?

bodhrandude · 10-04-2012 7:14pm

Dont fancy this festival at all, it looks like all the super commercial dance tosh in the one place, like the opposite of Life Festival which is all the best in underground electronica, also looks like too many people there.

its for two people, I gave both seperate names but as Im aware I could just have put my name on both as credit card holder.

ronanc15 · 11-04-2012 8:31pm

Great News! Paylogic have confirmed that if you buy a ticket from someone just get a photocopy of their ID and bring it with you and they'll let you in!! if anyone needs to offload tickets I have a list of people waiting to buy them, just let me know by PM!!

I have four tickets here and they all just have my name on them. They never asked me to put different names on each ticket or anything like that?

Are people planning on buying camping equipment before Tomorrowland or buying it at the festival itself?

I was at creamfields last year and brought my tent and sleeping bag (the essentials)-anything else we got there (camping chairs etc).less ye carry the better-we were wrecked! my cocern is finding a supermarket nearby for beer and everything else. going by some pics dreamville is a trek from tomorrowland itself.

Reckon we might buy 2 tents between 4 in Brussels and bring them from there. Can buy the rest of the stuff here in the camping site:
http://www.tentenzo.be/

If worse comes to worst we might just buy a few small tents here.

Ya the drink is my main concern,be some trek to carry it all the way from Brussels along with your stuff,plus you'd want a nice bit of drink as you wouldn't want to run out.

Would be handy to just purchase it in the local town itself once you have your tent and stuff set up.

ronanc15 · 14-04-2012 9:13am

Same as that, they're my two main thoughts now. Im tempted to bring the tent over with me, split the makings of it up between all our bags.

The drink is a good question, going to ask around and see what the story is with it. Im also going to buy one of those hydration backpacks - this type of thing http://www.londonskaters.com/review-camelbak-rogue-hydration-backpack.html

Should be able to get into the festival with it, handy way to bring in your own drink!!

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 1:32pm

Think it's €30 to check in a tent with Aer Lingus. I think it was Lidl had camping gear on offer last week,some great deals there.

Definitely worth a try with the hydration pack anyways.

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 5:14pm

We won't actually be going to Antwerp though.

We'll be getting off at Mechelen.

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 6:07pm

Probaly just stay in Brussels Wednesday night,Antwerp Thursday Night and head out on the train to Boom from Antwerp Friday morning,seems the handiest.
Saying that,it sounds mad to travel all the way to Antwerp when there's no need to,as Tomorrowland is half way between Brussels and Antwerp.

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 8:29pm

After much deliberating I've decided on this:

Wednesday - Arrive in Brussels,acquire tents and stay for 1 night.

Thursday - Get the train out to Mechelen,get our drink there and get a taxi as close to the entrance as possible. Set up camp and enjoy the pre party which starts at 14:00

Friday - Sunday: Tomorrowland

Monday - Train to Antwerp and then a train onto Amsterdam.

103 days and counting......

ronanc15 · 14-04-2012 9:57pm

if your bringing a hiking bag, like this:

Then you can just attach the tent to the bottom and check it all in as one, saves you checking the tent in by itself:)

You can pick up tents in the bigger supermarkets around brussels/antwerp if you want to, you'd get a decent one for cheap.

Drink, best thing to do would be to buy it in Antwerp, no need to buy it in Brussels.

Handy travel info:

http://www.tomorrowland.be/bi/Airport_-_TL_2012.pdf

How much would a bag like that set you back generally? Sounds like a good option. Are you not allowed split up the makings of a tent into normal bags no?

sounds good. Im arriving Friday so I suppose I'll get the train to Antwerp and onto Mechelen. Unless theres a train straight to Mechelen. Shuttle bus then from Mechelen to Boom!

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 10:01pm

Mechelen is on the Brussels to Antwerp line,halfway between,you could just get a train to Mechelen and then get a bus or a taxi to Boom,shouldn't cost that much.

Where you flying into?

ronanc15 · 14-04-2012 10:05pm

Totally just confused myself there. Flying into Brussels. Why does that TL page say go to Boom on the Friday or Mechelen on the Saturday or Sunday

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 10:09pm

It's just telling ya how to get the free shuttle bus.

It makes more sense if you're flying into Brussels just to get the train to Mechelen and then just get a public bus(not official shuttle buses) or a taxi to Tomorrowland,rather than travelling the whole way to Antwerp just to get a free shuttle bus.

ronanc15 · 14-04-2012 10:14pm

Ya agreed, Mechelen is only 5 or 6 miles from Boom anyway!

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 10:17pm

Taxi should cost no more than €30 either,divide that by a few people then,handy out.

Stock the taxi with booze etc

(hopefully they'll have those wheelbarrows at the campsite entrance,everything will have worked out like a dream then)

ronanc15 · 14-04-2012 10:20pm

Here's hoping it all goes that smoothly man haha. You bringing a backpack like the one above?

MikeyGorse · 14-04-2012 10:27pm

Just an oul' gearbag I reckon,should do the job nicely,hasn't let me down yet,plus I can bring it onto the flight with me,saves a few yoyo.

You purchasing the backpack?

I've been to a nice few festivals at this stage home and abroad,nearly always works out,doesn't stop a lot of freaking out in the meantime though.

ronanc15 · 14-04-2012 10:32pm

Ah id love the backpack but its all yoyos ya know haha. I dunno Ill see closer the time I suppose. Dont want anything i've to mind too much either

You can try but tent pegs won't be allowed in the cabin. I've seen some people get poles refused too (which is a much bigger problem).

df1985 · 15-04-2012 2:13pm

i have a bag like the one above-i woouldnt go to a festival without it now.able to get tent, sleeping bag, the whole works into it. not too bad with the weight all on your back and you have your hands free then to carry bags of booze or that.

I found an aldi on google streetview in boom not too far away and another discount supermarket....be grand!

(im the overplanning worrying type)

MikeyGorse · 15-04-2012 2:33pm

Great find outta you,surely the shelves will be cleared nonstop.

Donal I like your thinking!! Great find. As Mikey said they'll prob be cleared out numerous times but they'll defo be worth a try.

Ive a checked in bag as part of my flight so as long as its under 20kg im happy!! What make is yours? see if I can price a similar one!

Beanmachine · 15-04-2012 7:56pm

Quick question, I managed to get two Full madness passes in the ticket sales, But in the mad rush to get them i forgot to buy the dreamville tickets at the same time. I knew you had to buy them together but i just forgot at the time and i only realised my mistake when i tried to rejoin the queue and buy the passes sepearately which you were unable to do.
Anyone know if they will be releasing more tickets for dreamville? The whole show seems badly organised tbh, i have emailed ID@T, and Dreamville and neither of them have got back to me yet.
Anyone have a similar problem to myself?
Any info at all would be much appreciated.

At the moment it doesn't look like there will be any more for sale but keep an eye for people selling them on. I think it's as good as any show that big could be organised. I suppose you have to realise the global demand for it! They have to have some types of rules in place....

But to answer your question id say your best bet is the secondary market!

awaitingdrummer · 19-04-2012 1:36pm

Hi fellow Tomorrowlanders!

I got full madness passes for myself and my girlfriend but didn't realise at the time that we would also need to get Dreamville tickets. Judging by the prices on viagogo for Dreamville tickets I figure I was not the only one to do this.

My question is this: We have not booked flights over yet - is it viable to drive over to Belgium, sleep in the car near the festival itself? Or should we book flights, and find some accomodation?

From anyone's experience can you advise me what is the best option? I would pay ~100 for a camping ticket.

fluff_daddy · 19-04-2012 2:19pm

Thinking of flying into amsterdam as suggested by ronanc15 - stay 1 night and get train in the morning to brussles airport [Hotel Near Here]. Drop bags in hotel and get train to Mecheien and taxi to Tomorrowland

anyone got any reliable taxi numbers

??

Why don't you stay in a hotel or hostel?

caramel0 · 20-04-2012 9:41am

Or why not rent an apartment
