So I have a dilemma. This year 6 of us went. Myself and OH in Pink Moon and the rest stayed in Oscar Wilde. We are all in early 30s. We ended up having our 'predrinks' so to speak in OW because that's where our friends were, and going back to PM at night or during the day when we were in main arena but never sat there to have drink and relax. Everyone seemed to want to give PM a go when we were talking about it during the weekend, put it to everyone today and it was a no (obviously terrible time to be paying a load of money straight after the festival)

Now the OH is saying its not worth our while if everyone else is 'regular' camping but I cannot face the cess pit that was OW to sleep in. Sorry but everyone around them was a decade younger at least, the queues for the toilets were insane, there was people going around screaming at 4am, falling everywhere and I head loads of reports of stuff getting robbed. They other group of friends love being in 'the thick of it' and think its great craic.

Any advice? Try drag them to one of the other campsites? We dont even own a tent!

You can camp beside my caravan for, oh let's say €200, and I will bring you a 'free' espresso coffee when i fall out of bed (thats about 1.30pm).

No seriously, Joplin really is a good option... especially up in the overflow area which was lovely and quiet this year and loads of space up there. Its about 5 minutes further walk than Wilde.

Try Joplin or Eco campsite.  

Joplin is relatively quiet and spacey compared to the others.

But what about all the heathens!!! :eek::eek::eek:


And my super awesome entrance to the arena!

And the toilets with lights and mirrors!!

I'm genuinely having thoughts of booking a 2man to myself :pac:

Your dedication to your comfort is admirable

I've done years of camping and did the last two in Pink Moon and I feel I deserve those small comforts. I just cant believe himself is choosing to hang out with our friends over MY comfort :D:D:D:D

This is not how love is supposed to be, Kg. Lose him too. I've a feeling EP 2018 could be the start of a whole new chapter for you.

Ah I'm sure you can twist his arm.. All lads can be broken eventually! :P I was thinking about PM next year myself, but my gang want a "little village" of tents as there's (apparently) so many going to go next year... we'll see!

Was in boutique this year, the constant ****e dance music drone from fairground was a minus point for me. Is pink moon better in this regard? How do shower/loo facilities compare? PM location looked to be a huge plus

I'm guessing you were close to the fence too, 'twas fairly ridiculous alright!

2017 was my first year at Electric Picnic and me and the OH enjoyed it so much I picked up two tickets this morning . Saving around €110 on the price I paid for two tickets last year. Stayed in Charlie Chaplin and it was very nice and fairly quiet but the rave in the woods area was very loud at night as its close to the campsite. Also only 8 minute walk to the main arena.

No way. This is really coming together. Fingers crossed for Dolly Parton on the main stage that night.

I reckon you are SOL sadly.

Sent TM an email on Wednesday, asking for a code. Didn't provide any details/proof that I had been before. I've only been to two, but God bless them the next morning they sent me on a 3+ code! 2018 booked, the savings were eaten up by Pink Moon price hike but happy days all the same

If I book pink moon now and for whatever reason cant make EP in 2018, can I transfer it to someone else?

I asked them that before, said you couldn't transfer but that means nothing really. Plenty sell their ticket on without issue. Ive not been asked ID etc when booking in

paulc1000

still waiting on loyalty code! panic setting in, if anyone has a spare would be greatly appreciated 😀😀 pink moon is booked! too old and need some comfort

dirkmeister

Got my tickets today, only coming back to the real world now...still don't have the energy to type about my weekend in the 2017 thread......maybe tomorrow!!😂

Canneverfindit

Ticketmaster automatically sent me a 2 or less code but I've been to 4. I sent in my application yesterday and got my 3 or more code today.

As a result, does anyone want a 2 or less code? First PM is more than welcome to it.

earlyriser

just wondering if anyone know - I booked a 4 man tent in pinkmoon today and 2 more friends have decided to go now do you think there will be any problem changing it to a 6 man tent with pinkmoon?

shouldn't be, just e-mail them and they'll sort it out if they've got the tents left.

Did something similar a few years ago, a cousin was given a ticket for his 40th so i bumped my two man to a two man tipi to sort his sleeping arrangements for the weekend.

lilgit2

Lads if anyone has a discount code they dont need ill swap my firstborn for it.
