Ticketmaster can say one thing on the phone but the steward down there can say another, and there'll be no one around from ticketmaster to help ya if they say no!

you can say "oh but i rang ticketmaster and they said its ok", but they hear every excuse under the sun so might give a dam what you say. that being said if one steward says no can be easy enough to go to another who wont even ID you.

Hi Guys, just wondering how do people keep their beer cold all weekend?? If I bring a cooler, will I be able to fill it with cold water anywhere at the blue campsite?

Also When I’m asking questions, Mite aswell find out About food. Im wondering about how much food to bring? I will be bring lots of sweets & crisps & energy drinks. But what about food that will give u energy? I hear raw jelly works a treat??

Can one buy coffee & chicken fillet rolls in the spar??

Also is there good value on drink & food for heading into Naas on the Saturday morning for example if im low on things??

Yes, there are a few water taps around the campsite.

If you're feeling particularly industrious you could dig a hole and leave your cans in the makeshift fridge

I'd say it will be shown in the campsite on the massive xbox screen.

Think im going to bring some canned fruit, Pot noodles, cereal bars (full of fibre) energy drinks and lucozade alert < they worked a treat last year! Im bringing a cooler (on sale in B&Q this week) plan on filling it with water in the campsite too. Nothing worse than warm beer!! Camping chairs are only €8 in penneys too!! I'm really in the festival mood this year, got my tickets in the post today- won VIP ones on Today FM and get to hang out backstage with Paolo Nutini!!!

I wonder is the green campsite fun or full of snobs. Had a great time last year in the red camp! REALLY hoping for good weather this year!!

Im thinking of getting a day ticket for sunday, ive never gone for just a day before so I would like some information on day tickets.

Where can I go with my day ticket? Where can I park my car? Can i get into the campsite, would I be able to stay in my friends tent that night?

Any info would be great thanks.

Officially, no. In reality, I would be hugely, hugely surprised if anybody tried to stop you. Things get a bit free and easy by Sunday night.

As for where to park, IMHO, I would advise against bringing the car altogether if you can help it, to be honest. It's a lot easier to just get the shuttle bus from Dublin or somewhere. There's a bit of craic on the bus and being jammed in traffic isn't half as frustrating when you're not the one driving.

Hi,

I know that if you buy 4 camping tickets together they send you a free parking pass aswell. But say if me and 3 friends buy 4 camping tickets separately, can I go into a ticketmaster outlet and show the 4 tickets - will they then give me a parking ticket?

Also, what time do you absolutely HAVE to be out of the car park at - I want to leave as late as possible as I'd say the roads will be riddled with checkpoints.

Thanks

last year we brought in 4 tickets to Zhivago and ticketmaster gave us the carpark ticket.

Carpark closes at 6 on monday evening. I'd say that it stays open until 7 or 8 though. Buy one of them breath testers for before you leave. They have them in centra at the moment, although im not sure how reliable they are!

Also another question, my ticket is the red one...but my mates all have blue ones. So does this matter when entering?
like do i have to enter on the red side? and will they be entering on the blue side? can i just go with them on the blue side even though i have a red ticket? thanks.

No it doesn't make a difference. You can camp anywhere.

Oh right. Emm, trying to think here from last year. Nearly positive they're broken up. So there's a red and blue entrance.
