Disability/oxegen festival

gary the great

Hi,
I recently broke my leg and will be unable to walk for quite a while, but i really really want to go to Oxygen festival on the Sunday (as my fav bands are playing), i have a ticket and i know they have an area for people with mobility problems.
So whats the story with it, do i just go up to it on the day or do i have to make special arrangments? Anyone any experiences?

I saw a few people on crutches at it last year in the same area as everyone else. Naturally, you wouldnt be able to go into the pit, or close to the barrier of the pit but u can always find a spot on the grass to lie down. Mind you - durin the big acts everyone stands up so just make sure and be careful no one steps on your foot.

Btw, are you the guy advertisin the ticket for sale on the Oxegen forum? He had a similar problem...

Ye that was me advertising the ticket, i was thinking it would be better if I was in the pit, just down the back of it,obviously not in amongst everyone (tbh I only want to be there for Placebo) Cos otherwise i will be miles back from everything and there wouldnt be much point in being there!

Well, the pit at Oxegen isnt anything like the point theatre or anything - there is no space. Its literally full to the brim. Even if they did allow you into it (which is highly unlikely considering the guards are scumbags) - there would simply be no room. You would get killed sitting down in there.

I disagree, the pit at oxegen has never been full to the brim the times iive been there (the last 3 years). I wont be sitting in the pit either, il be standing.

However I also feel the security wont let me into it.

Do you blame them?

Why not just do the intelligent thing and put your questions to the event organisers?

Well there's really no way you'll get an answer here then if you can't get on from the official source.

Did you try the Oxegen festival message board?
