I'm only gonna be 16 going to oxygen? do they really check the id ? or would i get away with using a mates passport or something?

Michellenman

They were checking ID the last time I went which was 2 years, but only generally for those who looked very young.

Reiss Avfc

hmm i see, would be gay to not get in

Michellenman

You could maybe try with someone else's ID... not guaranteeing it, nor am I condoning it... but might be worth a shot...

Reiss Avfc

yeah thats what i was thinking, we'll see how it goes, i just checked incase i end up going there and sitting outside for the 3 days lol

hmmm maybe try staying at home this year then.

No more of this shi-te talk please. Talk about the event not who you want/don't want in the crowd everyone already knows what they're letting themselves in for.

Can't. Freaking. Wait.

Awww Jill, it ain't going to be anything like that vid, make sure you get into the pit for them if they're on the main stage...

I know, I know. I saw them last time they played Oxegen and a bunch of twelve year olds spent the duration of their set trying to crawl through my shoulderblades to get closer to the stage in time for Razorlight. But... still... Arcade Fire is Arcade Fire, and to be honest, after them I wouldn't care if the remainder of the lineup was composed of three days' worth of Crystal Swing tribute acts and people even the All Ireland Talent Show would turn away.

If you are useing it like a campervan, there is a few things. All the users need a ticket for the blue campsite and then purchase a ticket from ticket master, €60.

If you just want to park it then its ok to come and go (i think), you can also get free parking if you provide 4 weekend tickets.

Michellenman

You can't bring a regular van to sleep in. You need to have an actual campervan if you want to sleep in it, otherwise you won't be allowed in to the campervan parking area.

You can sleep in the normal carpark though, we had to do this last year when our tents collapsed. There was a lot of people doing the same. Although, I wouldn't recommend 4 people sleeping in a seat ibiza hatchback for 2 nights..

And yeah you can come and go as much as you want, although it's a bit of a walk from the carpark to the campsite and you have to go through security each time.

Furious-Red

Yea if its only the 2 of ye that will be using the Van i would recommend parking the car at one of the Park & Ride places so all you have to do is hop on a bus and be there pretty quickly. It will save you €60 if it is only 2 of ye but if there is 4 of ye then get the free car parking ticket and park in the car park

Pigwidgeon

I think a normal car park pass is only about €20 or €25 anyway, so cheaper than a camper van one if you're just planning on sleeping in a normal van.

Madness playing T In The Park. Chances are quite high I'd say that they're playing Oxegen too.

Thundercats Ho

I'm planning to go on the Saturday only.
There will be 6 of us, and i was thinking of driving up a camper van, parking it in the park & ride at Goffs (don't wanna drive up anywhere near the venue itself). I know that loads of people sleep in the p & r, in cars and transits etc, but can't remember if there we're any campers. Would there be any problem in doing this and is there a max headroom when entering the park & ride car park?

DanHendrix

Thanks for the help..Theres 4 of us and we got a car park ticket..Were gonna bring tents anyway we just wanna store THINGS in the van. Will there be many more good acts announced for it..Hope Blink 182 or Paramore come over. Although I believe Paramore are supporting Green Day in Marlay.

Paramore are supporting Green Day, so yeah they're out.
Blink has very strong rumors going around of them playing the o2 on the 31st of august. They're not doing Europe til august anyway so they're out Also.

Yeah that's grand, we did that last year, very handy, means you only need your drink for the day and the rest won't get robbed.

Hi folks,

Just a quick few questions about getting to Oxegen 2010;

• Are there any bus services running daily from Maynooth to Punchestown, if so from where, what times, how much?
• Otherwise, if I park at Goff's, how long does the Shuttle Buses take to get to punchestown?
• And how long usually would it take to get back to Goffs that night on the buses?

Thanks.
