Got a free ticket for the Saturday Hoping I can manage to stay in the campsite that night and be there again for Sunday which I've heard is fairly easy to do. Work on Monday morning though :mad:

In the rush back to the campsites after the headliners at 12/1am, it might be possible to shuffle past the security into the campsite, but the next day they'll be checking your wristband when you are going from the campsite into the main arena. if it has saturdays colour, you'll be kicked out.

No, they didnt, for the past few years you could get tickets right up to the day.

Ok so you reckon i'd be able to get a 4 day camping ticket next Wednesday?

Definately. Oxegen hasn't sold out in a few years.

If you're looking for a bargain, why dont you try www.toutless.ie ?

there are many people trying to sell their unwanted tickets last minute & since it is not sold out, a few are going cheaper than cost price.

i dont know, i havent been following how tickets have sold this year. if its anything like the last few years then you should be able to get one.

Ah you'll get one no bother. Stay positive! Woo, Oxegen! Smelliness!!

How strict are they on the whole over 17's thing?

I'm only 16 but will they ask for ID when I get to the gate do they let everybody in?

OK guys, it's been let slide so far. If you are underage a) for drinking and b) for entry to the event do not ask for opinions on how to get around this on the thread. Thanks

You didn't do either of these, now did you?

I now understand your post. Wasn't Still not very clear IMO :mad:

You didn't say who you were refering to, so that's a very easy mistake to make (you could have been reffering to me because it might have been mistaken that I was trying to get in underage by my first post, which I'm not trying to do!) I just wanted to know if i'll have to bring an adult :mad:

Get over yourself. If you can't figure out that i wasn't referring to you. That's your problem. There was no need for you to post anything after my post. Be greatful you got no warning or ban for questioning mod notes on thread. Next time, you will.

If you (or anyone else) have (has) any other difficulties in understanding my posts. PM me. Don't reply to this on thread.

i wonder will they reduce the price of tickets on the day if it hasnt sold out.if they knocked,lets say 30 euro off a day ticket more people might go instead of paying the 100

UpTheSlashers

I reckon they'd shift a few tickets if they confirmed that the WC final would be shown on a big screen on the sunday, i know three lads in my town who havent bought a ticket for fear of missing it

Doubt it, Toutless and facebook are the places to look for bargains

Thats understandable A lot of people would hate to miss it though, and itll be a nuisance having to find nearby pub after camping for 2/3 nights and smelling like sh*t :pac:

Most underrated festival item is an air-mattress I think..

HeinekenMusic: Ed

Hey guys,
just wanted to fill you in on what Heineken are up to at this years Oxegen.

The Cold Rooms have already been mentioned, main points on these are:
-they are free
-They are open between 12pm and 2am
-They are Heineken only
-no beer will be for sale, shop around and get the best price either in your local or in Naas (you can still drop stuff in after that Sunday morning offie run).
-They are located inside each campsite MAP

Entered that comp too... Fair play to her/him for winning, I obviously didnt win
They are looking for someone that has a bubbly personality and would be very fluent at talking to strangers and celebs! Someone that would do reasonable background checks on the artists that are lined up to be interviewed eg. Names of their current albums or albums due to be released! knowing some of their songs would be a help or look up past interviews to get an idea of what to do!! I'd give anything for the chance to do it so, Love the moments while they last!
Oh and your liver will be fine. Take some Dioralyte Re-hydration sachets with you and dont go over board. ENJOY!!!

regarding the world cup i dont think it will be shown, as far as im aware no sport events are shown after that mini riot between clare and tipp supporters a few years back when the hurling was shown.

Im going to t in the park where its 100% the world cup will not be shown-its the sister festival to oxegen so it might be the same.

i could easily be proved wrong though, it is the world cup after all, and everyone is neutral.

Sunday:
Mumford & Sons, Ocean Colour Scene, The Courteeners, Jamie T, We Are Scientists, Kate Nash, Diana Vickers, General Fiasco

Hey, has anybody gotten turned away at the gate for not having and ID before?

Don't worry mod, I am over 17, just checking if I'll need to find somebody older to sign me in.

I've gone the past two years and never had my wristband checked going in either direction so I'd say I'll be grand!

Thanks guys for advice! tickets sorted and printed.
Another question tho - the area at the front of stage - is it separate from the rest of the area, as in barriers - if it gets full in that particular area can you not get to the front?
or is it just all open?

Why in the name of god did you buy tickets if your only 16? 2 weeks from 17 = 16. 16's are not allowed. Get it?

If you must know: Muse, Kasabian, Vampire Weekend, Florence, Jay Z, Eminem, Mumford and Sons, Ellie Goulding, much more artists, and the craic.

And yeah 16's are allowed.
