    All early bird tickets were sold-out a while ago. Loads of tickets have been sold since but they have insurance for 5000 I believe. Camping area looks big enough to cope (not sure on measurments)....entire festival spans 3 massive fields with wooded areas, streams etc. with car parks etc. located very close by. Very nice and convienient site plan from what i could make out.

    Looks good so. Was at the original launch night at the Smithfield Centre, so hoping that feel good environment is as evident over the weekend. All we need now is for it to stay dry, but i believe tomorrow is supposed to be littered with showers.

    Hi, does anyone have a clue regarding how many tickets were actually sold?. I was told that there was 1 staff member for every 1.5 people present?.

    This would indicate that ticket sales fell far short of expectations......
