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.

Not on their own as the poster was suggesting.
Over 25's with a 16 year old is allowed.

Ok, there seems to be a lot of confusion about age.
Under 17s must be accompanied by a 25+
17 and over are grand. There is a list of acceptable ID on the Oxegen website.

I was only clarifying that they are, Noel, seen as you said they weren't.

If you're really that obsessed, why not just buy a ticket? :P

Hi,

can anyone tell me who is running the bus from The Square to Oxegen?
And where I would buy tickets in advance?

Thanks

I doubt it. You could always camp right next to them and you'll be fine.

Don't think sleeping with them is the greatest idea, especialy in the morning where they'd all be pitching tents of their own

SDTimeout

All the stories i've been hearing about oxegen people slitting tents etc. This is my first oxegen and i have a feeling it will be my last.

None the less, will be a savage weekend

Just on the world cup matter not sure if it will be shown but the Leinster football final was on the big screen last year anyway.(although kildare were in it)Hard to see them not showing the match as they have the screens for this purpose...

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??

I cycled last year and got told by security "What the **** are ye doin on dat ting?" they werent exactly the most helpful. Theres no place to leave a bike there ended up locking it to a fence in a field outside the grounds. Your better off leavin the bike at home.

Hi all,

I won two green campsite tickets.

Does anyone know if it's possible to leave everynight and come back in the next day?

Basically, don't want to camp and use the tickets as day tickets

Nice one...

And would it be possible to bring a different person on one of the days?

ie. Bring a friend on the Saturday and bring someone else on the Sunday?

That's standard fare at most large gatherings, matches, festivals etc.

I'd personally try and sell them and then buy 3 day no camping tickets. You'd make a few bob

anyone know how much rides are in the blue camp carnival? and the bungee in particular?

how much money agus cans are ye all bringing?

The carnival isnt cheap €5 is pretty much the cost of the standard ride, think the big drop was €10.
The Elastic bungee however is €100 per pair, ie they wont let you in it on your own so u need a friend, or alternatively tell them where to go with their extortionate prices.

As for cash, Atms are dotted around most of the permanents building and are well signposted. They tend to out of order come night time but i assume they are refilled by staff in the morning, queues can be long.

Phone coverage is patchy, but if you use text messages - and use them wisely, ie. "Meet me at VERY WELL DESCRIBED UNIQUE LANDMARK at 3, I will wait for you there." - then you'll be fine. There might be a slight delay, but so long as you allow a bit of time for that, it's no big deal.

Walkie Talkies seem like a great idea in theory, but in practice, they're a pain in the arse - you have to either have an appointed time to listen to them, or you have to have your ear on your walkie all the time, but either way it's stupid. You'll also pick up a lot of boring crew and emergency service chatter and everybody else who's had the walkie talkie bright idea, so you're far better off leaving them out, IMHO.
