    Sure just make it the ten miles to one of the Portlaois petrol stations, wire a chicken fillet roll into you, and you'll be grand. There is nowhere you can go to escape the Monday morning fear

    hi people, staying in the camper van area this year, what the craic with facilities, nearest showers etc, thanks in advance.

    The facilities are rubbish! Basically you are paying 80 quid to park in a field. Last year the toilet drop was full by Saturday lunchtime and not emptied for the rest of the weekend. I don't think there are any showers in the campervan area.

    Simply put, you should just sell me your campervan ticket and be done with it ;)
    Just kidding, but I am not kidding about the facilities. If you expect anything special for your 80 quid, you will be very disappointed.

    How do you know it was 50 last year? I got mine last year in the presale in November (2014) which I know a lot of people did too. They released more towards this time of year that could have been 50! But they didnt do a presale this year at all, so this was the 'pre-sale' amount I would say....

    It was said in all the press releases.

    Eg
    Only Three customers can still buy weekend tickets for Electric Picnic 2015, exclusively with 3Plus. The last 50 tickets in Ireland go on sale at www.three.ie/plus on Friday 31st at 9am

    Daily checks on the Electric Picnic thread on Toutless.com is your best bet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,932 ✭✭✭✭MJohnston


    Seatwave or Toutless are really your only chances.

    Adverts also worth a look if you have the patience.

    Report the touts and gazumpers, there are face value tickets there amongst the gougers.

    I've never camped there but visited friends up there and there's lots of space (unsurprising when you're so bloody far from the main arena). Seems pretty friendly between the campervans, lots of tables out for food & drinks. A big bonus is getting in on Thursday night and avoiding all the queues.

    anywhere third party you run the risk of a dodgy ticket and speaking from someone who works the gig in that area, there is alot of people getting shalfted with cancelled tickets. Be wary.

    Went in on the Thursday night last year and we were parked in the laneway queueing for about 90 minutes. Waking up Friday morning already at the festival with an optional hangover is a bonus. There is plenty of room per camper, you get your camper plus 4 metres on one side for your awning or a gazebo. I think this is also a fire regulation. It is definitely friendly up there. I have never heard any reports of theft or other issues.

    There are currently 190 people looking for tickets on toutless.. no-one selling.

    There are a few around for 240 on adverts and also donedeal. I reckon that is gonna be the best bet. Be careful though. Caveat emptor!

    Yeah, probably so if that's the case at the moment. I reckon a lot will become available on Toutless between the next announcement and the weekend of the festival
