Sound cellar should do, yes. They are a ticketmaster agent, after all.

I've never been stopped and had a camera taken off me at a gig in Ireland, and i've been to a few big outdoor gigs. Sure, the photos you'd take at gigs (of bands) are usually crap, it's not like you could sell them.

I'm pretty sure still cameras are ok. Camcorders are out of the question afaik.

Anyone know if its alright to bring beer into the camping area? Crates etc.

Don't bring any manner of SLR camera. I was stopped with mine a few years ago and it ended up getting robbed because I left it under the car (which I had no keys for). I wasn't allowed bring it in because it was "professional". A regular camera should be fine.

I think you're only allowed plastic bottles.

You can bring anything you want into the camping area. The venue is a different story.

Were they not letting them in? Bastards... Just another reason to camp in the car park again this year.

Alcohol wise, bottles, crates, cans, anything goes.

one year not sure when but the prodigy headlined they were stopping all beer. another year again not sure but the hives played, they let everybody through, guys with 2 crates each! i guess glass is a no-no.
i went mad as i didnt bring any and had to queue for a poxy plastic cup of swill. even then i bought 2 pints at one go and started pouring them into a plastic one litre bottle at the bar so i wouldnt spill them and some stupid kunt of a bouncer told me i wasnt allowed to do it! even the barmen were laughing at the fool

It's because a bottle of water with a cap on makes an interesting item to throw at performers. Which is ludicrous when you consider how many massive stones there were last year.

Atomic Pineapple

ah but how far can you throw a massive stone?

filled bottles are both handy to throw and accurate and easy to carry and hide if you want to get close to the stage to peg it!

glass is not allowed into the camp site but can be easily smuggled in, same with gas burners just dont get caught in there using them.

hehe cheap c*nts camping in the car park

strapped to the small of your back full of vodka and coke

Well Mean Fiddler have banned glass bottles and fires in campsites at T inthe Park which is the same festival as Oxegen and run by Mean Fiddler so I can assume it'll be the same this year.
It's a really stupid idea to bring glass bottles into a camp site, I mean for one thing you're bound to forget your bottle opener, and I wouldn't like to think how many people end up in the first aid area/in A+E with a load of glass lodged in their foot.

we brought one last year, dunno why, soup or something,
nothing was said.
well until we used inside the tent and set fire to it.
but thats another story.

the explanation bout the bottle caps that we got in Punchestown (way back at creamfields '99) was that they are too small to pick them all up after the gig, and they get stuck in the horses hooves and can injure them...it is a racecourse after all?! thats what we were told when we cudnt keep the feckin bottle tops....what a loada horsesh1t?! theres nothin more annoyin than bein told somethin like that...gettin your bottle opened by someone else and they keep the cap, theyre such ba*tards...

Just smuggle in your own caps and quit complaining

Fair enough:D

Actually do they take the bottle tops at slane (don't think their's horses there), they're a bugger to clean up either way I suppose...

The good people of Punchestown probably would agree to allow the event to be held there without the compromise.

In fairness the bottlecap thing really isn't a problem..

Take said caps off your bottles, place in pockets, enter field, replace caps.

Now was that so difficult? :rolleyes:

That's just a fancy way of saying "smuggle":p
