    Hang on, think I’m wrong here, might still be good! That phone only map is not helpful.

    Hi all, due to last minute complications, I’m looking for 2 early entry passes for Thursday. Have to go up, pitch tents, camp that night & then head to Dublin for work on Friday morning!!!!😳 We’re camping at the BYEco Camp, but while we have tickets for that, it’s still limited availability & first come, first served, so if we don’t get there until Friday afternoon/evening, we won’t get in! Have checked Ticketmaster & no Early Entry available there. If anyone has ideas/suggestions, I would be most grateful!

    @scruff monkey you may have missed that a couple days ago I posted the paintball entrance at Gate 7 - correct it’s at campervan area previously green car park as we knew it!

    Was more of a "bank" type system - you deposited X amount of cans into your account to be put in the cold room.

    Then you could go back during the weekend and withdraw however many you like up to the amount you lodged and the would keep the tally in their system.

    Not sure of limits etc it was for cans that were exclusively part of the Heineken portfolio e.g Heineken / Orchard Thieves, etc

    sorry for the stupid question, booked cosmic avenue thinking it was pink moon!! From the map can we park in red and walk straight in to cosmic avenue? Or would we need to enter further up nearer the campervans and walk back down? Basically trying to see what is easier driving or getting dropped off

    looking at the map I’d say you could park in Red and enter via Gate 1

    Bit of a long shot, but anyone need a lift to EP on Thursday? I am on a learners permit and need someone in the car with me. Will be leaving from Dublin City centre early enough on Thurs.

    They obviously moved because of the Coldplay gigs and this year's lineup is due to cost cutting. Calvin Harris might still be popular but it's far cheaper to book someone who can headline with a USB stick than a full band.

    The Mrs and I have a few Heineken packs, but we'll end up bringing most of them home (having spent more than a months mortgage in the arena) buy I'd like a few cold cans at least….

    Are Sunday tickets a thing of the past? Wouldn’t mind popping down for the day but presume zero chance now

    I'm travelling down with a campervan attendee, I also have a campervan ticket [came as a package, when buying general entry tickets] which gains me early access on the Thursday. From reading here a good few posts back, wayfinding can be a bit all over the shop on Thursday due to the site not being fully set up. Can anyone advise would it be an issue getting from the campervan area to the ECO with a trolley full of camping gear?

    correct. No matter what posh camping you’re in, you still need to go through one of the gates to get into it.

    I don’t think you will have any issues in doing this, as long as you ensure to get wristbanded with the camper, so from that sense you’re free then to come and go (re-entry) from car parks into campsites as normal.

    Setup is a little different this year so I can’t say for sure what’s happening at the “campervan” gate, in previous years this gate wasn’t open to the public?

    The site not being setup won’t be an issue for the route you’re taking, I think the biggest risk is security not knowing how to handle you, pawning you off to another gate.


    I did an almost identical route in 2022, parked in green, enter via paint ball gate, then absolute Cnut of a journey, 1km along a dusty, trolley wrecking path, the reverse route of pinkmoon/moonlight meadows ppl will be doing.

    As I said already, if they’ll let you, try to walk down the Abbeyleix Road to the Abbeyleix gate (yellow) rather than via the forest path! (Blue)

    Been a while since camped at PM, but might want to take a walk into the village to pick up some things on the Friday.

    After getting wristband, can I exit and reenter at the Railway gate? Should the stretch along the road be walkable into the village?

    Usually make that trip a couple of times over the weekend. You can exit at Railway gate (it's signposted as the way to town), but usually you will not be let back in that way, it's back to main entry.

    It's a good 15-20 mins walk from arena to town, 20-25 coming back.

    Going down on Friday around 9am. From looking at it I might try Park in blue carpark and camp in poets. We went down later on the Friday last time and made go to red carpark and most of camping was gone so went to the back part of poets. Was some trek. Can you generally get to park where you want or told where to go. Poets was peaceful enough. Happy with this. Bar the couple of hair of the dog cans early doors, the campsite won't be for partying for me!

    Free access to the Vip deck, free Ice cream, free tea/coffee and refrehments also access to side of the 3 stage for anyone 3, just noticed it now in the app, you need to download the 3+ app. The upstairs of the deck is a nice place to chill for a bit and take in the view.
