Just a quick one. I might be going there with a friend this year, but she can't get the day off work. As a result, we'll probably be setting off around 3pm, which will put our estimated arrival time shortly before 11pm on the Friday. I remember from the year I went that you have to give your ticket to a steward at the gate, who then gives you a wristband to enter the festival. Thing is, I don't know how long these people are at the gates. If we arrived this late, would we have problems getting in?
Probably yes, the box office people will finish at some point, I have a feeling it was 10pm a few years ago but it could be midnight, and they might change it anyway. You'll need to check with them (try their forum?) to be sure. Or just find a field and camp overnight, go in in the morning
Already asked on their forum If we can't make it in time, would you recommend setting off early Saturday morning? I'm not sure where we'd camp if we went down late Friday...
I'm pretty sure the stewards would let you camp up somewhere just outside the entrance until the morning if you explain the situation to them, if not there are loads of big empty fields around the festival site:tongue: Saves you missing half a day...
if i remember correctly.. its pretty easy to jump the fence... you could do that then if you get caught show them your ticket? then in the morning go to get a wristband..
Unfortunately I'm not as fit as I used to be, that's what getting a job behind a desk does to me. I doubt I could jump a queue nowadays, never mind a fence.
I wouldn't mind, it's my Polish friend I'm worried about. "So Ewa, as I've been promising all these years, I'm going to take you to a proper British festival. You're going to love this one, it's got all kinds of bands and a really friendly atmosphere and cheap beer. By the way, we meet in the gym tomorrow for the training for jumping the fence and escaping from the guard dogs." "You English people are fucking weird."
Not too far off, actually. She's the one on the right. Just needs the bow and it'd be an exact likeness.
You could turn up friday and if it's too dark to pitch you could use a bit of floorspace in my 6 man for an evening.
Thanks But the problem is mainly getting there in time to get in...I have a few possible choices to think about though, just need to contact my friend over 'em sometime soon
The festival has now sold out. Car parking passes are still on sale (all occupants must have valid weekend tickets). Tickets will be posted out towards the end of July - an exact date will be posted on the festival website and ticket buyers will be emailed in advance.
Hi, my boyfriend and i are desperate for 2 tickets to the levellers concert in Devon. Anyone have any idea how i can get tickets - i've been lookin all day with no luck :-(
