I can search for them, but there's 'no tickets that match your search' constantly. Unless a few dozen people are sitting with them unpurchased, I reckon I'm out of luck.

At the risk of sounding annoying, maybe try a different browser? I just checked and it's giving me the option again... For both campervan and caravan.

I haven't tried to go any further than that, so maybe it times out after?

First EP tickets bought, so on the clueless side!

I still haven't received my loyalty code, I filled in the form yesterday with proof of attendance.

Nope, nothing, this is as far as I get:

I'm probably 23 mins too late - just had text from son asking me to book for him - camping - first-timer - all I can see is family/campervan/previous-loyalty. Or Viagogo which I won't do. Have we missed the boat???

Does he just want to camp for the weekend? All weekend tickets are general camping tickets, the other stuff are extras that you pay for.

Dibble - thanks very much - it would have been easier if I had followed your very clear instructions properly - I hadn't selected the quantity! i have his ticket safely now. Many thanks for your speedy responses! You can uncross your fingers now!

No worries, I'm delighted you got sorted

I've been trying this number all morning but they keep saying all agents are busy, try later.

Same with me and I'm not even sure if it's the correct number to ring looking for the code.

This isn't great really, how hard can it be to send out loyalty codes before the tickets go on sale?

It's working for me.

Can you try the main site instead?

Viagogo has a family campervan ticket for sale at €464 already. F*cking scum.

Just realised ticketmaster sent me the wrong loyalty code (even though I've bought all my tickets for the 5 Picnics I've been to through them) so now I've to go through the rigmarole of getting my correct code. Argh!

I bought all my previous tickets online so I have all the email confirmations so I've just submitted through their form

I did all that yesterday morning and still haven't received a code. You could be waiting until next week to get yours.

How long will tickets be available for?

Morning all, just about to get tickets for my 3rd EP.
Stayed in the 2 man tent in Pinkmoon this year and it was ideal. Group are talking about moving to the 2 man tippee this year. I just noticed that these are single skin tents.
Has anyone had any experience of staying in these? Space wise they seem a good choice but don't fancy the condensation / water risk...

Do the Family Camping ones last that long?

Stayed in one a few years back, they were fine, condensation wasn't an issue but that was a dry year so no idea how they are in the howling winds and rain.

Not sure, from reading online I don't think they last as long as the regular tickets.

Cheers, thanks for that. Still tired and emotional after last weekend but that will soon be forgotten about!

Pink moon prices have gone up again. Hard not to feel slightly pissed off but they know that people will pay it over the alternative. That's two years in a row with one night of torrential rain, if you've never done general camping then you never will after those nights and if you have, you're probably looking at the alternative!.

I'm pretty sure all the boutique has gone up, very very greedy and mean behaviour.

MJohnston

Okay...it's actually really tough to do so but...I'm signing off this thread now, fare ye well everyone who is venturing on the Picnic this year, this'll be my first year where I've been able to go and haven't since 2005! *sniff* may your lineups be vaguely disappointing but ultimately extremely fulfilling!

Can't seem to get a campervan ticket either

I've done general camping for 10 years, had plenty of washouts and horrible rain - paying the cost of an extra ticket plus 30% (minimum for the smallest option) for Pink Moon is as baffling as ever to me.

Yeah, my 35 euro Aldi tent in eco campsite worked fine with the rain, no leaks and the rain just drowned out the noise from everything else, probably my best sleep of EP was during that rain.

It's not just "the tent" though, it's what it offers. I doubt the Pink Moon tents are any more superior, it's the security, the calmness and clean showers & toilets. At least if a pink moon tent gets flooded, which has happened I believe although not to us, the onus is on PM to fix it.
