How strict do you think they will enforce the family rule of having an U12 with you for a Sunday day ticket? Based on other events run by pod.

Eventually managed to get a reply from ATN and they basically said the ticket was bought in good faith so they will honour the purchase. Also said it'll be done for all Sunday ticket holders too.

Brilliant app, trying to convince the wife to download it too so she’s not constantly asking me what’s next!!

Curraghmore House is correct. If you are getting the B&S map (Ballinlough), swipe over to Tools and click Reload Map

Sorry no, ... I just didn't have time ... maybe for EP, but probably 2019.

Anyone heading to this from Waterford? The proposed blue route via Carrick is about twice for me as far as the direct route to Curraghmore either through Piltown or else turning off at Ballyshunnock and heading towards the red route / Kelly's Gate.

Obviously I'm sure they might check your tickets and send you back if you went those exact routes, but there seems like enough back roads around that area to go most of the way and then a slight detour to get to the Blue gate.

Anyone else thinking of doing the same?

I don't think anyone really knows. But heading towards Kelly's Gate if you are trying to get to general camping is pretty risk as it is likely that the adjoining road will be closed. But we just do not know.

I travel the N25 to and from work everyday and there are signs for the turn offs. It just says "Blue Route", "Red Route" .. no mention of general camping, campervans, boutique camping... if you haven't looked on the website, you would have no idea which turn off to take.

There is nothing on the tickets that distinguish between blue and red route as boutique camping is booked separately. I suppose an issue may be that some roads may be closed when trying to get to E1 while on the Red route.

Was it cleared up if Mura masa is at 9:15pm?

Is Pablo’s app available on iPhone or only android I sears “festable” in App Store no joy

Is everyone bringing some kind of trolley with them to transport stuff to campsite? Any other ideas? This is last thing I have not sorted out

Mura Masa is 9.15 after Roisin Murphy (7.45 - 8.45)

Android only sorry.

Walk from parking to campsite does not seem long at all, bring your booze first time only, then go back for the rest.

Pablo didn't make the app for iPhone yet, just Android for now! There was a fellow boardser who mate a printable version of the schedule, a page or two back. You could print that out instead maybe?

No idea on Mura Masa, looking at a lot of clashing myself, esp Saturday and Sunday so choices will have to be made. Probably just going to go where the flow takes me..

And yes, I got a trolley, the one and only reason is to be able to bring the tent and the booze on our first go so we can put the tent up and the booze in it before grabbing our other stuff. We have a huge tent and it weighs loads so not much choice but to do it this way! It's my first time using a trolley at a festival and I am just hoping it will make just this one trip, don't care about anything else

That said, looking at the map it doesn't seem like the car park is far from the campsite so hopefully not too much lugging stuff around over uneven ground

I checked with Waterford council, no road closures apart from

https://www.mapalerter.com/latest/roads/item/waterford-city-and-county-council-road-alert-20-07-2018-30188
There are a few 'short cuts' to get to the entrances ..

And as has been said, no real information as regards, link road between the 2 entrances being open/accessible ?

We're just outside Waterford and planning on just following the red route (we're in boutique camping) in good faith that if we follow their route, it will work out best for us with regard to parking and ease of access. There's always traffic queues on the way into EP as well so I'm expecting similar for ATN.

You'll be okay the plastic bottle drama only applies to vendors they confirmed this on a facebook post yesterday

ryaner777 · 02-08-2018 02:24PM

Seems they've soften up on a few things like plastic bottles and Sunday u12 tickets in the last 24-48 hours. They could have clarified these a lot sooner.

Maybe they're worried the uncertainty is putting people off taking the last few tickets.

There's a lot of questions being asked on their sponsored Facebook adverts.

I get the impression if this had been a sell out then these rules would have been strictly enforced.

Just drove down the n25 to cork, they have the big electric signs pushed to the side of the road now. Saw ‘general camping’ on the one near the blue route, so at least they’re saying what route goes where. Was thinking the exact same as you when I saw the first tiny signs that just said ‘orange route’ and nothing more! I have mates coming who haven’t a breeze!!

Eh? What's good faith about someone buying a ticket which requires you to bring kids when you have no intention of bringing kids? Makes a bit of a mockery of it really. It's either family only Sunday tickets or it's not.

El Director · 02-08-2018 03:09PM

Pretty much all set, car almost packed and all the people/groups I’m interested in are locked into my iCal (and therefore will show on my Apple Watch...nerd alert!) This is also a good way to see clashes (when you turn the calendar to landscape)

Myself and my mates usually head to EP but not last year or this year as we are pretty much disgusted at the direction that they have gone in. But we are all excited about this! Usually I drive with one other and we are expected to set up the tent, gazebo etc... but this time we are all heading down at the same time (10ish) and those extra hands will definitely make light work of the set up!

Looking especially forward to Mos Def, Mogwai, FF, Underworld, First Aid Kit and The Black Madonna.

Hope everyone here has a great weekend and best of luck to the organisers and volunteers.

For anyone Interested I got a very handy “festival trolley” in regatta great outdoors in north side shopping center for €16 reduced from €40

boomshakalaka · 02-08-2018 03:27PM

Did people here have questions about purchasing ice, or was that on the FB page? Can't remember so will post here anyway:

https://screenshot.click/02-26-v164f-tvftb.jpg

In short, they sell ice in the camping shop

I just checked their website. The wheels look tiny. Probably not the best for rough ground.

Yeah, useless for anything other than concrete I'd say

Under 24 hours now and I'll be sitting outside my tent, cracking open a can while they are still cold, and relaxing until the main arena opens.
