    I'd say the early bird tickets are well gone by now. I was referring to the

    "Campervan / Caravan / Car Camping Pass" tickets, of which only the Campervan Passes are left.

    I got an extra car park ticket at €6.35 when booking, not realising that the caravan ticket included a car space. If the car park ticket is not tied to my ticket then I will sort you out.

    Don't worry, there'll be parking available on the day. It's not as if they'll be turning people away!

    I still can't get over the €17.50 delivery charge for the Car Pass tickets. If ever there was an example of price gouging!

    got it sorted, went back on website, booked a "babe in arms ticket" for free and it gave me the option of buying the car park ticket for 6:35

    Booked the campervan parking and reluctantly accepted the crazy 17.50 postal charge....in the confirmation email it states delivery is by DHL, at least that explains the cost but really is that wholly necessary

    If it's like Electric Picnic, the campervan/caravan/car-camping passes will be an A4 sheet of coloured paper with adhesive around the sides, delivered in a plain old C4 envelope. It's an absolute rip-off racket - if you sent the same thing with An Post's Registered Post, it would only cost €8.20.

    Got an early bird ticket and a car pass for €6.35 also. As we live only five minutes away, the car will be useful for seats, blankets etc. We will also have the comfort of our own home afterwards each night!

    I got distracted this morning by a power cut so only looking at tickets now. The early birds look to be gone and tickets for two adults and two kids looks to be heading towards €400 with parking etc which isn't really worth it for that line-up.

    You could pick up a couple of early bird EP tickets for that amount!

    I couldnt justify paying for car camping pass considering they were nearly the same price as the early bird tickets, due to all the extra charges. Camping in the open for me!

    I think that's Ticketbooth rather than Body and Soul asking for that (Body and Soul don't actually check the name matches anything, so there's no need)

    Q1 For the Car Camping you’re assigned a spot on a first come first served basis. If you want to be together you have to arrive together. No holding spots. For normal camping it’s generally a free for all.

    Q2 Pretty much.

    Q3 For Camping it’s one tent as you’re assigned a pitch. Normal camping you could have a tent each.

    Q5 Halford is good for tents. Just check reviews.

    didnt go with car camping in the end , decided on old school park and walk . does that still mean you get an assigned pitch or does it mean a free for all in the camping field

    thanks in advance

    Generally camping is normally a free for all. First up best dressed.

    I emailed Ticketmaster and asked them about the parking for general camping and they replied saying that they couldn’t confirm parking arrangements as they are only a ticket seller. Asked me if I wanted the €6 ticket added to my purchased. I said yes just to be sure.

    I checked with them about ordinary car parking also and they said you can pay on arrival but didn't give a price.

    On Ticketmaster the reduced car park rate is €6.35 and full price is €23 so I bought through Ticketmaster in case they charge €23 on the day.

    That €23 price will cause havoc on the day I'd say.

    Is there an option to do this on Ticketmaster if going for one day non camping as I couldn't see that option?

    There was an option to do it when booking your ticket. I missed it though.

    I just sent them a message though their website and referenced my booking number and they added the parking ticket to my booking.

    I added an Under 2 child ticket and then it gives you the option to buy a parking ticket. The Under 2 child ticket is free so the only cost is that of the parking.

    The festival was meant to be launched on the same day as EP launch, leaving Festival Republic honcho Melvin Benn in the position on the day where he had to deny there was another festival at all
    . After it launched a few weeks later it was without any initial lineup. Press were told lineup was to be released 10th April, but it was pushed back to 18th.
    Early bird family tickets were to be available till start of May when in fact tix sold out within a minute of going on sale meaning there must have been very few passes available at that price.
    Full price is very expensive, for the average family around €500 for what is essentially a group of local acts that would mostly have trouble selling out a village hall. Then today’s BIG announcement which hasn’t happened as of yet.
    I hope I’m wrong, as I will be going, but I have a feeling they aren’t sure what they are up to.

    They should have run all tickets at early bird prices to see what the grá was for this type of festival. On paper its a no brainer lots of 2+2+ a shi-tzu families out there who want to dip their toe into it. We are heading as we got early birds but full price would put me off big time.

    Same here, but lots of mates didn't manage to get the early birds and the huge price difference has put most of them off. Pity as these guys are the demographic that the festival seems to be aiming at.

    Yeah, I was going to get an early bird if I could, but when all sold out I didn't bother. Maybe I'll buy a day ticket closer to the time but I bought tickets for a festival a few years ago that was cancelled, got the money back fine, but just not in a rush to spend so that money.
