What's the craic, people?

I just bought 24 bottles of Miller (for value purposes, not to be awkward) and I'm not sure what this whole decanting business involves.

Do I have to bring plastic bottles to put the drink into or how does this work?

Post of the day yesterday!
Happy decanting Benny boy:D

Listening to the Ray Foley show at the moment. They're broadcasting down there and say it's not too bad. It's muddy but not as muddy as you'd think but if the rain should keep up then I'd expect it to get a bit worse.

Been there done that. Not pleasant but if you're heading down, at least everyone's in the same boat and you'll get used to it.

just wondering if anyone can tell me what the story is with day tickets? I have one for saturday, the past few years i've been camping so i didn't have to wonder about this stuff but i want to know which entrance (if any specific one is used for 1 day tickets) to use and whether i can get into the campsites before the music starts??

Thanks

You can only bring drink into the campsite, you cant bring it into oxegen itself. Yes you can drink it outside.

Looking at some of the posts here, I'd hate to think what the collective IQ of the crowd at Oxegen is this weekend.

Anyone around the area tell us the current state of things? Weather / muck etc please?

So what's the deal on sneaking in to oxegen, how hard is it? Any tips would be appreciated as a good few of my friends are going and I am way too broke to buy a ticket.

Have to say I agree.

Is anyone going, you know, to see some bands or is it just all about drinking as much as you can for 3 days solid?

Not special just broke. If you don't like people sneaking into a gig (when they're stone broke) maybe you should give this rock n roll festival a miss and wait for the next Barbara Streisand concert.

Stop being a scabby sh-ite. Buy a ticket like anyone else. Asking for ways to sneak in again will get you banned.

Call 999 and ask, I hear they give great tips. You're welcome.

This board is gone so lame, any kind of heated conversation between posters instantly results in infractions. Not that it was even heated discussion. It's gone into such a pain in the hole with the over moderation.

No-one has ever been fined/jailed for sneaking in to a gig. What exactly is the problem in asking about this issue that is related to oxegen? You have lots of people here on boards.ie talking about illegal drugs they take (and lots of bands at oxegen singing about taking drugs), you have posters talking about cutting clamps off cars, etc... and there is no problem with it. So what exactly is the problem with asking for advice on sneaking into this gig?

Its a fricking rock n roll festival for god sake, why are you being so uptight, most rock bands that you pay to see pride themselves on being rebels yet here on this forum you get moderators hassling you when you mention doing something rock n roll like sneaking into a gig, jesus christ.

Heisenberg.

People OBVIOUSLY cannot post on how to sneak into a concert, It won't come back on the poster, it will come back on Boards.ie. So honestly, if people want to know how to sneak into a big, go try and do it yourself, don't be an idiot and come post it on an internet forum where it can be libellous.

Can anyone tell me will any of the event be televised>?

Do you think i enjoy these tedious exchanges? Do you think i set the laws in this country? As has been pointed out to you by another poster boards.ie takes the flak not Ms sickof waiting or anyone else. Deal with it. If you don;t like it, feel free to toddle off somewhere else.

also lol at the fact you view sneaking into oxegen as rock n roll. I'd also say oxegen is more of a pop festival but that's another debate.

back on topic now. If you or anyone else wants to discuss moderation end me a PM

Just because you don't hear Arcade Fire on fm104 every few minutes doesn't mean they don't deserve to be headlining. You don't hear radiohead on mainstream stations either and no-one would complain if they were headlining.

Ah come on. Radiohead have been around for years, have way more albums & are a bigger name than Arcade Fire, that a lot more people would know. And they've had considerably more airplay over the years. Comparing them is a bit silly.
I like Arcade Fire, way more than Radiohead actually, but I'm just surprised they got top billing because I didn't think they were that well known. Now, I'm sure they will put on a good show tonight & if I were going to Oxegen I'd definitely go see them over whoever is headlining the other stages tonight. But I would have expected Jay-Z to have been on after them.

That rock n roll?

Guess I've been doing it wrong paying those people do their job.

Most rock bands also have health and safety issues at gigs. Can you imagine if yourself and many others like yourself decided to show up and try to sneak in?

Probably will be on MTV at the end of July/Start of August!

If you have a day pass, can you pay on site to camp that night? Or upgrade via ticketmaster?
