    Can anyone tell me what's the story with brining drink in on a one day pass? Have heard conflicting stories, I am only intending on attending Sunday, thanks in advance lads.
    From past experience..Very strict on Friday..everyone drinking at security check cos theyve been refused..Saturday bit more lenient..had 5 cans in a holdall last year which they found but eventually let us in..and Sunday well its like a bring your own party..theyve just had enough:)

    Just put everything in plastic bottles with no tops and should be grand:p

    The only foldable trolleys i can find are in woodies bray for 40 squids.. The green tent company sell them for around 15 i think but its a bit pointless getting it when your already in the campsite!!!

    there ill be a company renting wheelbarrows at the entrances and car parks, with return points in the campsites at oxegen this year

    Fantastic idea, probably only cost in or around €5 as well, well worth it.

    No they'll almost definitely be up on the website by this time next week.

    The little programme yokes are handy for when you're actually there though, just get the one between a few people at €10 a pop though..

    Thanks for reply keeponrockin. So should I risk bringing in cans do you think or just put vodka into a plastic bottle or something?

    Have heard the prices of pints are something crazy like €10 inside there, f uck that!

    Take the bottle-caps off and leave them in your pocket or somewhere that won't be checked. They will take them off you going in if they see the bottles. That way you can put them on in there.

    No Probs:)..Well what we did was buy 2 litre bottles of coke and stick 1/2 bottle vodka into them and as CiaranK says take the caps off the bottles approaching the security check and put them in your back pocket till ye got in and then put the caps back on so ye can carry em round in a bag if ye want to..

    Also used those large 1 and half litre lucozade bottles filled with lager coz they were coloured so security didnt know what was in em ..same again caps off for check and someone used those blue diet sprite bottles full of rum and something else..

    Also if you do chance bringing in cans make sure ya have an empty coloured 2 litre bottle with you in case your refused so you can walk back out and fill up:)

    Pints were €9 last year (€3 of which is refunded when you bring the plastic cup back) so well worth bringin your own:pac: ENJOY

    Made over €100 last year from brining cups back...

    From past experience, if you conceal it well enough they won't find any drink on ya, wouldn't be going to the lengths you're speaking of to be honest!

    Interesting stuff lads, thanks! Is there anyway that I can get away with bringing in my own plastic pint glasses in there to exploit that rule? Long shot I know!

    I know its a bit early, but who are ye all hoping for next year.? Hopefully Artic Monkeys, Muse, and then someone like Daft Punk or Fatboy slim, cant be Killers or KOL again!

    Thats ridiculously early, and out of the above, Daft Punk are the only act I'd like to see next year!

    Actually make that the next 2/3 years..

    Thats about the size of it, just picked up (muddy) cups from the ground, gave them a facelift at the taps/sinks or whatever and brought them back up to the bar, easy money!

    Took a bit of time cos 1 person can only go up with 30 cups at a time but it was well worth the financial reward, obviously!

    Yep, its mostly gien back to you in 1s and 2s but sure who gives a fúck?!:D

    Always covers whatever i've bought in drink and food for the weekend, so lowers the cost of the whole weekend a considerable amount!:D

    Posting this on boards is gonna do considerable damage to the bringing back cups trade!:(

    I never bring my normal phone or camera. I have an older phone, with a 2MP camera. Generally does the trick. Its mainly stupid drunkeness that I take photos of, not the artists! If you are camping, make sure you bring a spare full set of clothes, and waterproof clothes. For food, bring things like creamed rice, biscuits, crackers, things that will keep. If you want to, bring some walkie talkies. Your phone will not work properly down there (too many people using mast).

    Also, I really don't want to bring my passport as I'm heading off on holidays soon after, does anyone know if a have solicitor stamped copies of both my birth cert and passport would that do for ID? I would just not feel safe bringing my passport!

    They will ask for ID. I know people who were nearly refused for not having any last year. As far as I know, cans are no problem. Its bottles that are the issues. Are you going for the weekend? Are you going by bus/car?

    Should be plenty. Once you have all of your essentials, no reason why you will spend more.
