Oxegen 2009 - All discussion, no ticket sales

Stuck in work, won't be there til the morning!

All you folks heading down this morning, save yourself for the real thing - don't waste it all on the tribute bands tonight

Enjoy everyone, and if anyone is staying in the Green campsite you are more than welcome to pop over to my circus type tent (bellepad) to say hello :pac:

Last year I had a day ticket for Sunday, and managed to get 4 cans of Kopparberg, a naggin of Malibu in a rock shandy, and some southern comfort. They check your bags thoroughly so you gotta be really sneaky! What I did was i had the southern comfort between my legs (i was wearing a skirt and had to waddle) stuck the rock shandy down the back of my skirt in my knickers, and the cans i stuck in my wellies inside my bag. The woman actually asked could she check inside my wellies....I said 'ehhhh, ok?' and as luck would have it she only checked one and i got away with it! There are plenty of ways to smuggle stuff in, my advice would be to separate your booze into a few bottles and put them in different places.
ALSO...the sneaky fecks are waiting for you after the checkpoint in plain-clothes, so when you victoriously pull out your naggin from your gee they will pluck it off you. So be REALLY careful and only pull out the booze when you're safely away from the entrance!!

Haha love your wording! Totally correct too, I've seen it happen people and to see thier faces fall is pretty hilarious!! :eek: Sneaky fckrs!!

You're not are you!? I done it last year as "security/crowd control" on the outskirts of the event as the professional security are at the actual gigs, over 12 hour shifts, was tough going. If you are working at it bring a foldable chair.;)

Working that last year is one of the reasons I will never go back to Oxegen, unless like, Led Zeppelin play of something!

Arragh I so can't wait!! Not going up til 2moro though, hope blue won't be too full!

Passion Pit, Florence and the machine and Carolinas liar here I come!!

If anyone hears some eejit shouting "F*ckin Nuuuuuurem" in the campsite over and over that will be me..... sorry in advance :P

Not a chance man. Workin up here at the min on traffic. Each wrist band for each campsite is different.

Well actually, to be honest if your a gud enough bull****ter you could get away with it. Just be persistant

3 people seems more than enough to me let alone 15. I like to go for high impact festival, meaning I like to cram in as many bands as I possibly can. Having to wait around or follow along with 14 other people would do my head in. I'm quite happy to go around on my own or with one other person during the day and meet everyone else at camp later on.

Hi

does anyone know of any buses that may run daily from Newbridge town, or would it be best just to get a taxi over to the Park and ride shuttle buses.

I know there is the park and ride at Goffs Junction 8 off M7 but is there another 1 on the south side of naas at Junction 10 maybe?

silvine

Anyone care to guess at what time the last gig will end at on the Sat? Have a one day pass and am booking taxis.

How does one am sound?

Also i'm sure this has been asked before but can you bring drink in with you to the main area?

Also, the Timetable again to print off for those who don't want to pay €200 million euro for the dangly ones that go around your neck.

They'll probably run out of these before the end of the first day anyway like in previous years. And if you do have one, everybody will keep asking you for stage times.

The Green site is the VIP section if I remember right...

JM MARCONI

Off to Oxegen I go!

If you havnt seen "The Chapters" before make sure you check them out on Sunday at 9pm. Best Irish band around imo

Green/Family/VIP campsite is the same plot. You won't get in without the proper wristband. I was on security there last year, and we had to check wristbands very carefully. Even if you manage to sneak in, there's a chance when you leave you won't get back in!
