    hey i have a question.
    I bought my ticket on ticketmaster online,
    so i printed it of, but it says a name on it.
    the problem is its my mums name as it was bought on her credit card.
    now im only 18 so il most likely be asked for id?

    im just wondering if this is a problem. do they take much heed to it?
    thanks.

    p.s. need to know quick! thanks.

    I dont have any experience but I doubt it. You are 18, its 18 days away too, apply for an age card and it may well arrive, though average is over 21 days it seems.

    I think you'll be alright with just those. They didn't check many IDs last year, at least not around me. Even if they do, those should be suitable.

    You'd be pushing it if you expected your Age Card to arrive before then though. Mine took at least 5 weeks to arrive, I believe.

    I had one last year and while I got a few looks about it they always accepted it! Just have something else with your name and/or photo to back it up just in case! :)

    Ok so I know it has been asked and answered before but i just thought i would clarify seen as i went to the bother of trying to upgrade today:

    You can upgrade your ticket at your local ticketmaster outlet IF you bought from them. This is €20 and you must bring your 3 day ticket. If (like me) you bought online then you can only get the upgrade on the thursday in Punchestown at the box office :)

    If you bought your ticket online (or at outlets) you can upgrade it at outlets.

    Bring your current ticket with you.

    The following upgrades are available:

    3 Day Non-Camping to 3 Day Camping - €25
    3 Day Non-Camping to 4 Day Camping - €45
    3 Day Camping to 4 Day Camping - €20

    You dont get a pass. Just get in the que for the pit and wait. The que is to the left of the crowd at the main stage if I remember right.

    It's completely worth it! The craic is awesome, especially when you camp and everyone does go to sleep eventually! :)

    Yeah definitely is worth it, as for sleep, I naively made the mistake last year of getting 1 hour sleep from thursday to saturday night, so I was rightly bollixed, but yeah sleep is definitley possible, you'll be so tired/drunk you won't take notice of the background noise. Some people sleep in their cars in the carpark too.

    I really should know this, but what is the capacity (for want of a better word) of Oxegen? I know of the 80,000 figure, but is that per day?

    i dont have an age card and dont want to bring my passport because without a doubt i will loose it. I phoned ticketmaster and explained and they said that a photocopy of your passport stamped and signed by the gardai would be fine ;)
