Also, tickets should be on the way! Whoopsadaisydoodles, are you in the Green campsite this year again? I think there'll be a few from Boards in there this year (From the photography side of it anyways)

I am indeedy, in a bellepad this time round as I wasn't quick enough for tangerine fields! I'm sharing with smelly boys

Fajitas!

I reckon I'm so undecided about Passion Pit, I'll avoid them, less I'm stuck with a headache for a week... :-/

I left it go waaaay too late to bother with any tents. I'll just get another cheapo and bin it after I reckon. Got my 2 VIP tickets this morning... with a bonus 2 VIP's to AC/DC this weekend for being a good boy :cool:

the whole year inn

Looking to book tickets and was wondering is the deposit scheme still avalible ,I cant seem to find where I can buy it and ticketmaster have it only buy it whole.

Says there the remaining deposits have to be paid by the 19th of June, so I reckon you're a bit out unfortunately.

Can't wait to see Pendulum again, seen them in Belfast last November and they were amazing. Also looking forward to seein Fun Lovin Criminals, Kings of Leon and Blur. Just over 2 weeks away.

Does anyone know would there be an issue with parking a transit van in Goffs and sleeping in it, using the free shuttle bus to travel back and forth from the festival????

plenty of people actually park in the festival car park and do this so can't see it being a major problem.

they are, for all intents and purposes, the same thing. You can camp in either campsite. I think it's only an issue when you have a car with you. I believe they have different car parks.

Ok this might have been asked already in this post. Been to Oxegen few times before, but I can never remember, is it just glass bottles that are banned from the campsite (alcohol wise)?? Also, anyone got any good ideas how to sneak drink into the actual arena? I'm strictly a beer-drinker...so can't be sneaking any naggins etc in (off the spirits!! )....last year we hid a can in each wellies and a couple in our hoods as well. Had to walk like we were constipated through security...lols!

Also, I KNOW that there's no ticket touting on the boards, but I'm going to buy tickets on buy and sell. Has anyone had any bad experiences doing so before? I figure that more than likely they're going to be genuine tickets, cos people are desperate to sell now at last minute, seeing as the actual festival hasn't sold out yet!

Advice welcome!

hi,

just to let ye know the full line-up and STAGE TIMES will be revealed today week, the 1st of July.

Ah good looking forward to hear that. On a scale of 1 to 10 how dangerous is it there?!:rolleyes: I'm so unlucky I'd be a person who would b attacked in a nunnery. So... anything else I should do/ know? Cant wait though:D

Blondiegirl2009

Oh yeah and whats the craic wit the safe? D'ya put your valuables in it(which I wont b bringing!) or your whole rucksack.

Fajitas!

The lockers are big enough for your phone, wallet, and a few other small bits and bobs, but you wouldn't fit your rucksack in I'm afraid

Dangerous? Well, I wouldn't say it's dangerous, just apply common sense to every decision and you'll be fine! Don't do anything too silly, like if your not used to drinking, don't go for a 2 litre bottle of vodka a day...

There are no pit bands, its first come first serve. Then when it's full the security will let the same ammout in from the que that leave the pit...if that makes sense!

Any idea how long the sets for Jane's Addiction and NIN are likely to be?
I was at Oxegen in 2005 and a lot of the sets were 40-45 mins longs.
I'm going purely for these 2, so I'm not sure if it's worth my 99+ yoyos if they aren't on for long.

NIN are the last act on Stage 2 and Jane's are just before them.

The set times come out next wednesday so you could have a look for definite then. The headliners set is usually an hour and a bit though.
