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

    2 pairs of normal clothes, a pair of shorts and rain gear. I generally go with tracksuit bottoms so rain gear can go over them comfortably. Being honest, by Saturday evening, you wont give a toss about what you are wearing!

    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?

    Yeah 4 day camping but I found a solution - let my 18 yr old friend carry 'her' drink in. Yeah I had a look on the website (dur) and cans are fine. I don't know how much to bring though. I'm not a heavy drinker, I wouldn't drink more than three on a normal night out. What dya reckon?
    I'm getting dropped by car.
    And about ID I'm going to try have my driving licence by then, but if not I reckon coloured photocopy of passport (as on website teamed with official school/college ID) and birth cert photocopy should suffice.
    Were you there last year? What's your opinion on food? I really don't wanna spend money there if at all possible.
    Thanks :)

    I've been there a few times :) I'll be driving, so if you need somewhere safe for your ID, you can gladly leave it in my car :)

    Dont bring expensive things. Food down there is costly, so bring what you can. Remember though, nothing too heavy. It could be a 20 minute walk from car to campsite, maybe longer depending on when you get there. Try bring a foldable trolley if you can. Big long socks for wellies, so they don't rub against your legs.

    Thanks a mil, but I'm sure I will manage somehow! :)
    I have always been a legendary packer, I think I'll do well! That's really helpful, thank you! I may be seeing you there! (Will not know it is you though haha)

    Thought of two handy things to bring, maybe they're obvious but.. lots of big plastic bags to sit on, and a head torch!

    Howaya, does anyone know of decent bike racks at Oxegen?
    If they exist, are they 'lift_them_up_into_back_of_a_van' proof?
    Where will they be located?
    Are cycles targeted by the 'lets smash 'em up brigade' or am i just a security conscious 'aul git??

    Ticketmaster can say one thing on the phone but the steward down there can say another, and there'll be no one around from ticketmaster to help ya if they say no!

    you can say "oh but i rang ticketmaster and they said its ok", but they hear every excuse under the sun so might give a dam what you say. that being said if one steward says no can be easy enough to go to another who wont even ID you.

    :eek: really?? but i was told there is gonna be a ticketmaster booth there - i need a ticket upgrade (have 3 day ticket, want a 4day). How do i upgrade if theres nobody there??

    If you have a three day and want a four day you can get a 20 euro Thursday ticket on Ticketmaster but you have to bring both tickets to the gate and you can only get a 20 euro Thursday ticket if you already have a three day... with me?

    If you're 17 you can go to the Garda Station and get them to sign a photocopy of your passport, which will be accepted as a form of I.D.

    Never been to oxegen before but from other gig experience they take them off everything. I think they fear that people will throw them on stage or something, I really don't know.

    Yeah they search you before you go into the main area. Campsite you can bring anything except glass bottles. Theres decanting stations at the front I think, but you might aswell just pour your drinks into plastic bottles.

    Hopefully if Tickets are still on sale on Thurs (pay day) my OH & myself are hoping to go on the Saturday for the day only.
    A bit nervous tho, haven't been to a festival in such a long time!
    I read from an earlier post that you can print off your own ticket? Is this true as that is a concern for me, not getting them in time. And what would you suggest bringing for the day? We could throw a couple of sleeping bags in the car if we were too drunk to drive home or got delayed in leaving...
    Is there an FAQ page somewhere?

    Any suggestions really helpful...oh when I say "oldie" we'll we're both touching a very young 40:eek:
