Oxegen 2009 - All discussion, no ticket sales

JM MARCONI

Ok so I have a problem. Me and 4 of my friends are going to oxegen. 4 of us have booked the green campsite leaving my friend with just the blue camping Do you think if he bought a 1 man tent he might be allowed to pitch it in the green campsite?

hey misschatty, you should check out oxegen.ie for all the shiz you'll need, a few papers and mags would prob have a similar feature or check out hotpress too.....
who am i kidding i've got time to spare ; tent, toilet paper, wipes, mirror, torch, print out a map of the site, drink, snacks, oh! dry shampoo and deo (dont think aerosols allowed tho?)

Your red or blue ticket is only specific for the carparks. You can camp in blue despite having a red ticket and vice versa.
However, with a red ticket you must park in the red carpark, and park in the blue one with a blue ticket.

Not sure about the green campsite though.

the red and blue are interchangable, you can plant yourself in either once you have a camping ticket.

The green one is a little different though as you need to have a reference to get in. Are you camping in tangerine fields or or one of those or is it the regular pitch your own tent part (which I did not know about til just today!) If it's tangerine fields etc, what you could try is this (bit complicated but bear with me)

JM Marconi - sending PM with mission impossible plan to get him in

I think this is a hilarious question!!

What do you think the answer is?

Thanks Fajitas, never realised there were self pitched tents in there too, never noticed, is there a way of buying VIP camping passes or are they given out to certain people? just curious for next year, although, this will probably be my last year

Nope, you can't buy VIP tickets, but as I said, there's loads of them given out to various promotion companies, press, so on and so forth (And funnily enough, there's no camping tickets at all given to some press, my mates in a radio station up there are camping in the staff car park... again...)

Out of interest, when you're camping in the Green area, do you get the wristbands to get into the VIP area inside the arena? Or is the better camping the only advantage?

Well... You could get him in past one chap on the door, but the chap on the next shift might say not a hope, and the chap on the shift after might ask for 50 quid to do it. The alternative is you lie, tell them Tangerine fields made a mistake on the ticket and sneak him in that way, they'll give him a green wristband then. But you'll go to hell for lying...

just need it for one night..


looking at the timetable it says kings leon are only coming on at 23:30!
thats really late...id have to park in dub then and get bus out...
then get back into dublin again after concert to sleep

so much messin..but can i expect...being so unorganised! :mad:

does anyone know what time it generally finishes?

You could easily sneak into the campsite straight after Kings of Leon as there will be far too many people to check everyones wristband, the only thing is you need to have someone else to bring in your tent and stuff earlier

df1985

forecast to be showery all week and for the weekend and the ground is already wet.its gonna be messy folks, wellies all weekend and get down early and get a spot on high ground away from a walkway, fences(pissing grounds) and toilets-otherwise you're fecked.

Hi folks,

We've 4 day camping tickets and a camper van ticket because we're going in a camper van! I'm just having a look at the site plan online and the camper van area seems to be part of the green campsite area.

On the map it shows toilets and showers in the green campsite. Does anyone know if these toilets and showers are for the use of the green campsite only, including the camper van area?

How great would that be?? Oh please let it be true

PS forgot to ask, what's security like in the green campsite does anyone know?? What's the chances of a break in?

JM, It's fine. Just call them and ask for a plus one on your tent. It'll cost the person €30 or so when you check in and the additional person will have to sleep in the middle of the tent/porch. It's grand and dry though and the last two years we've had extra's in our tents with no hastle at all. Just call them and ask.

Also they won't let any extra, tents be pitched.

Enjoy, still debating if I should go or not for the full weekend but work is getting in the way... Mmmm

I heard that pic was taken at Glastonbury! Don't think Oxegen was that bad, though I wasn't there in 07.

Can people who are going for one day bring any drink or food in at all??

Fajitas!

I think you can bring in food. You could bring down your drink and drink it before going in if you wanted?

cork*girl

ya I suppose.. kind of a balls tho! inside is it all different kind of drink cuz At Slane it was only ickky Heinekin..

Fajitas!

Well, I wouldn't say all different kinds :pac:

I'm a stout drinker, so all I can remember is Murphies on tap. There was definitely another beer at least on tap though.

whatawaster

it'll be Heineken. They are the sponsors after all

Well, stout too. I don't know about anything else

Bacardi too, though you can probably only get that in the Bacardi arena.

Hey,

Question about buses leaving from town on friday morning? Do I have to book a ticket in advance and where do the buses go from?Nearest to O' Connell street would be best.

NanoLion3

Hey CardHolder,

As far as I know you can book a seat In advance to make sure you get a seat but might want to ask some one else just to make sure,

And these are the times:The buses will depart from Parnell Square West at the following times
Thursday 9th July from 12:00hrs until 21:00hrs
Friday 10th July from 12:00hrs until 21:00hrs
Saturday 11th July from 10:00hrs until 17:00hrs
Sunday 12th July from 11:00hrs until 16:00hrs

Hope that was helpful:)

NanoLion3

Hey all,

I'm 18 so do I have to have a Garda I.D card or can I just use my passport to get drink in Oxegen?

Also would they have the likes of Stella and Errdinger:D

Thanks in Advance:)
