99% sure it's a hoax, now. Looked at the rest of the blog, all its' posts were made about 20 minutes before the one about Eminem one. :rolleyes:

may i ask, is there a way to park for just 1 day cheaply or do you have to buy the 20 euro weekend parking pass?im thinking of going on the saturday and get a hotel somewhere else, im only interested in Muse really and will be coming from Cork.

Alternatively, whats the best public transport option, is Goffs pretty much the only option or is there something more suitable, would prefer not to have to travel past the festival site only to be coming back again home!

sorry if im being a pain and its been answered already but there is a lot of posts to read through, hard to find info without asking...

I paid 34 euro for my parking pass! I would defo recommend the park and ride, seeing as its only for one day!

Unless you are going with three others then if you bring in the 4 tickets to TM its either free parking ticket or its 10 euro! I had to get a parking ticket for one reason only... way too much stuff to try and haul on a bus.
And keep in mind that once you leave the carpark you may not be able to return and could incur a fee of 10euro if you want to get back in!!! It really only leaves you with one option!

antodeco

If you know other people going, borrow their tickets, because if you present 4 weekend camping tickets, you get a free parking pass!

EDIT: Vodkat beat me to it!

Whats the story with the bus from Oxegen into Naas on Thursday? I'm thinking of buying supplies in Naas, as opposed to buying a rake of cans and lugging them all to the queue...

Hey,

does anyone have a login in for the Oxegen website that I could use?

I am trying to use that Interactive Event Planner thing, but you need to register for it. I have registered 5 times over the past week, but I still have recieved no email with the password so I can actually log in! I know it seems dodgy but I really just want a print out of when my bands are on.

Can anyone help?

Any one ave any idea bout the line up of the Tribute or Nokia LIVE stage???
I really wanna no cuz dey both in d blue camp... any ideas wld b appricated!!!

sabrewulf

Same here, registered, but the confirmation mail never arrived. Are the stage times available in the event planner?
Do they match with the info from this blog?:
www.swearimnotpaul.com/2010/07/live-oxegen-2010-stage-times-full-timetable.html

Also: Is anyone driving on Sunday from Dublin to Punchestown around 7pm and would collect me? I only wanna see Eminem, so I don't feel like taking the last bus at 4 and wait for 6 hours to see his show... Would be very appreciated!

Headin te oxygen 4 d 1st time... I'm 17 and just wonderin if i bring in drink will dey take it off me on d way in since im not 18 and all???

Yeah, they will. Saw it happen loads last year. Just as your going in the workers have stacks of crates they confiscate.

Make sure you bring ID aswell. I had been in 08, at 16 and walked straight in with all my beer, no ID. Grand. Last year, being 17 I decided not to bring my ID incase I lost it, The event organisers were changed though and they are very strict.

Have a good weekend mate! =]

What is all this ****e I'm hearing about Eminem cancelling? Is there any truth behind these rumours or is it complete bull****?

Propane Nightmare

Its BS. Some fake blog reported that hes in hospital. Gullibale people believed it.

What are the showers like (and no not the rain) and are they hard to get at in the campsite?

gonker

My daughter was at it last year and she said people had gotten sick in them, so she didnt use them. Bring loads of baby wipes.

For people with iPhones who want access to the interactive planner, try out the iPhone app. It is nothing short of awesome. Does things like showing you, in real time, where your friends are in teh festival (if they have iPhones too, of course.) Did a short writeup on it's features on my blog.

If you're camping at Oxegen, you need to accept the fact that you will not be showering for those 3-4 days. Dry Shampoo and Baby Wipes is the best you can do...

The showers are vile.

slasher_65

Or, like me, have an uncle who lives about a half an hour walk away. That works too.
