One more sleep till tickets go on sale.

If anyone has any presale codes they aren’t using, I’d be very grateful for one. 🤞🤞

Tickets bought 😁

pedrozeno

Managed to get the cheaper ones but those seem to be gone already.

DaSchmo

Managed to get a caravan ticket on the presale, that's the hard bit done - took 3 of us on different laptops a few mins of clicking to get one

LowOdour

Managed to get 1 ticket - which is fine in some ways as this year there was no shortage of tickets to be got so would be happy enough holding off until closer to time next year. The installment plan price is a bit much

Yeah I logged in exactly at 9 and couldn't get one for a few minutes but eventually got one :)

Yeah you're better saving up and just buying later if you like the lineup. No perks for early installment

Rigor Mortis

Had a horrible moment thinking the camper tickets were gone. Job done

Tickets bought, and a lot of my usual Picnic posse have got ATN tix for the first time - somewhat on the basis that buying cheaper tix this morning should make selling on ATN tix easy enough, somewhat on the basis that we all take a break from Stradbally after this year.

ATN 23 was in Family Camping for me - leaving the kids at home / with Gran next year.

That gets me interested in boutique camping options for 2024 - anyone stay in one of the various options this year? Thoughts?

I’m most likely to go for whatever offers me easy access to clean toilets and showers, easy access to main arena, some (relative) peace and quiet and not having to lug in the tent - in that order of priority!

Boutique is the place for you so. We go with Podpads every year and they're grand, few options to choose from. Boutique campsite has good showers, long q's at peak times though but they move fast enough. Also have access to the guest area which has proper toilets and sinks, such a luxury! Also has its own entrance to the main arena so its a 2 min walk. This also means you will hear all the sound checks for the main stage in the morning from around 10am but it didnt bother us too much as we were awake anyway at that time. Far enough away from the other stages so you dont really hear the late night music if getting an early night.

This year there was a seperate carpark and festival entrance for boutique camping so the walk in was grand as well, a massive improvement on the previous year

Tickets and Campervan pass purchased, happy out

Hoboo

Campervan or Caravan……does it matter? I don’t know which I’ll have by next year.

Rigor Mortis

Yeah, it was strange they were showing as separate. I didn’t see any caravans around us this year

I've always done Boutique camping at ATN for the convenience. Mens showers have no queue for the first while when they open which is great, wasn't a huge food van selection this year, so queues were very long for what they had, including tea/coffee, but didn't bother us as we had stuff to eat in the tent.

We got Pod Pads bell tent for 4 people. Comes with camping bed, rather than inflatable bed, so it's much better sleep (for me anyway), and bags can slide underneath so you have more space within the tent. As noted above, it's right beside main arena for the last two ATN's so it's quick in once there is something you want to see. The guest area to the left of main stage was handy for better toilets/less queues during peak times in main arena. It also has it's own bar and covered sit down area too.

LowOdour

Out of curiosity, what are range of prices for Boutique Camping? Any links seem to be taken from website so good to get an idea of what they were this year

thebronze14

Haven't been to one yet but will try go next year if there's no weddings etc planned. Off that time anyway. The lineup was so so for me this year so if there's not much to tickle my fancy is there enough to keep occupied anyway? Only been to EP once and liked the fact that you mighn't really like what was on the poster but there was lots that you could enjoy when you walked around. I assume ATN is like a smaller version of this?

we paid €600 for a 2 man belle pad with camp beds. They haven't released the prices for 2024 yet

When were you at EP? Imo ATN is a bit like EP was 5-10 years ago (when it was building numbers back up after the crash)

What I noticed at ATN this year was that the smaller areas with random stuff not in my “plans” regularly had a great vibe to them (I’m looking at you, Cambium Club). Way more so than similar areas at EP 2022. If you liked that aspect of the Picnic, I’d expect you to enjoy ATN.

Also felt like there was a LOT less groups of people pushing past me while I was trying to enjoy some gig or other.

Great vibes for the likes of Iggy Pop, Kojaque, Caribou etc, and across the weekend tbh. Standard issue amounts of people chatting their way through the gig but lots of them did seem to also be well into the music during breaks in the conversation :)

boomshakalaka

Tickets got for 199pp, which all in all is 60 euro pp cheaper than we paid this year (we went for the add on early entry and there's two of us so 120 saved between us is well worth it)

Good value we felt! Looking forward to next year. Line up can do what it wants in my opinion, I've been to 3x ATN and always discover so much new stuff prior and during the festival that it's always worth the trip. To the commenter above, there's lots to see, do and take in if you're not wanting to see any act in particular. I did yoga and massage this year for the first time and it set me up so well for the day (and deal with pain from walking in the mud lol)

Roll on August 2024!!

Ps may 2024 be the year that googly eyes return

Leaving ATN on the Monday I wondered where they were, stopped off in Waterford before my train to Dublin and there they were, in a tree, their natural environment.

Hope they're back at ATN in 2024: although the pole-dancing CCTV-head robots in high heels were a nice new addition, we need those big eyes gazing down at us Revellers.

Which was a massive pain in the ass. The trek back almost destroyed me on Saturday

tickets purchases for our first ATN in 2024 !

any idea when glamping pod tickets go on sale?

Dunnie1982

Tickets got at 9 this morning, got to checkout on tier 1 and got an error, when I tried again at 9.03 there were only tier 2. Ah well. Looking forward to it again, despite some complaints from some people, it's still the best festival in the country.

TenPicnics

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120991468#Comment_120991468

"Soon" according to a Google search of ATN 2024 and Podpads, might be a good idea to join their mailing list to get notification of when they go on sale, they get sold out very quickly.

El Director

Already looking forward to chapter 5 😎

I haven’t quite satisfied my festival itch for 2023 though, apart from what’s going on this weekend and EP, anyone suggest a fest between now and the end of the season that has potential?

Ireland or within Europe

endainoz

What about speculation for the 2024 headliner, I'm not overly optimistic, but would love LCD soundsystem. Maybe James Murphy has fallen in love with Curraghmore after doing his DJ set this year.

Ireland

Maybe Another Love Story (18 - 20th) this weekend coming or Fuinneamh happening after the Picnic on 16th - 18th September.

https://www.fuinneamh.ie/line-up

https://anotherlovestory.ie/

Didn't get an early bird this year.

It was a 6/10 this year after some stellar showings in the previous incarnations.

Going to wait to see sight of a line up to see if I can be tempted back.

Fuinneamh

desk tidy

Got through at 9am for tier 1, looks like they went fast. When do we usually get the first announcement, early next year?

boomshakalaka

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120992729#Comment_120992729

Think it tends to be November?

Rigor Mortis

It was the end of November last year and the announcement had 9 of what would end up being the top 11 billed acts. Only Lorde, James Murphy and Annie Mac were added in later announcements. There was plenty of quality in later announcements, but the headline acts were very heavily weighted towards the first announcement.

Fanirish

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120993670#Comment_120993670

Yeah cause they are the first ones to be locked. Pretty much all summer festivals have headline acts locked in or close to being locked in

taramurf

I just got my loyalty code for EP 2024 and see the festival is moving to 16-18 August next year!!

Rigor Mortis

Thats an intriguing move. Really crowding in on ATN and Indie.

crl84

Vast majority of ATN-goers are people who got sick of EP a long time ago IMO, don't see EP moving two weeks earlier making much difference to tempt them back.

Pretty much all our crowd, who went to EP from 2005 onwards, had stopped going to EP by 2019. B&S/BTP/ATN/ALS are much more attractive. The dismal lineups and direction of EP will still exist two weeks earlier in 2024.

Phishwax

I see this as probably a good thing me. Keep the EP crowd away.

Shouldnt have too much of an impact

RINO87

Arra feck ya ticketmaster....Sat watching the countdown timer, camper ticket in the bag, went thru verified by visa....my banking app tells me "there has been a problem with ticketmaster, please try again"....so I'm fired back to the start and the tickets are gone.

Oh well, one will show up, but I was looking forward to telling the smallie we were 100% going.
