Quick question... do ye think a wheelie bag will be more hassle than its worth for carting stuff to the campsite? Dont really have a decent sized backpack for the job...

First time going to Oxegen but I was at EP and apart from it needing a good wash when i got home it was handy enough. But then then again, the weather was really nice for EP last year...? Whats your opinions?

On the hard path it'll be fine, but once you hit the gravel you'll be f'cked.

Sure it would be a lovely little country if we could only roof it...!

Will be announcing some very exciting additions to the Heineken Greenspace linup at #oxegen11 shortly. Surprise DJ sets anyone?

Whats Heineken Greenspace? did they mean Greensphere?

5 of us bought tickets from a guy on donedeal, looks like we were scammed, no tickets to be seen, be wary buying second hand tickets

Ouch. How did you pay him?

What's the best thing to do with your drink regarding leaving it somewhere while in the Arena? I was think it might get taken if I leave it in the tent? Anyone shine some light on that for me? Sorry if it was asked before.

800 for 5, paid with paypal so hope I can get it back this sucks big time!

It's not possible to cancel Oxegen tickets when they're bought in store and are general admission, right?

If so, this lessens my worry that my tickets are fake!

Would not recommend it, your going to just be carrying it over the mud on the last day. Something like a gear bag with a shoulder strap is a good alternative to the backpack.

You just have to chance leaving it in your tent, a few of my friends drink got taken, and others were fine.

Just found out i'm in work 9am Monday morning (kill me now...), Anyone know what time the last bus back to Dublin is on the Sunday?

Dublin Bus had buses leaving immediately after The Killers (headliner) finished in 2009, I presume it's the same this year.

if they're bought with cash, i don't believe they can be cancelled.
if they were bought on a CC, they can trace them back and cancel them though.

last year it was a heineken bar last year that had djs playing in a perspex box in it, opposite the vodafone stage. it was semi covered, like a mini-stage with a bar inside it.

Driving down tomorrow evening from dublin. We dont wann go too early but how late can we leave it without hitting major traffic. Would 4 oclock be a good time?

way too late dude,

also if you're going m50 the red cow exit will be a nightmare. Get off on the n4 and take the maynooth exit, then follow the signs for straffan and naas, that road will bring you to the n7.

Or get off at Tallaght exit and take the outer ring road to the N7.

google map is your friend here.

Would getting a little pad lock be any good? Or would that just make them want to rip my tent apart even more to get inside?
How big are the lockers? I thought they were only tiny little ones

put the padlock on the inside zip of your tent (under the rain cover), and no-one will be able to see it, so it won't draw attention to it.
if you put it on the outside they'll definitely be curious as to what's inside.
if you've no lock, they'll jsut rob it anyway, so it might be a bit of a deterrent.

i've put a lock on mine several years, and never had anyone break in.

We'll be joining the 50 @ Ballinteer so I'll route it from there on gmaps tonight. Will talk to the driver about a 2:30 start.

no they don't clear it after every act.
if there's space, they'll let more people in. there's usually a pit enterance on one side, and an exit on the other. when people leave, and there's space, they let more people in. anyone can join the queue to enter the pit.
if you queue up before Slash starts, you'll be in the pit by the time Beyonce comes on.
go 3-4 hours before Beyonce, and by the time she comes on, you'll probably be almost in the front row.
no need to go first thing in the morning.

Might get a bit of a shock when Pendulum come on instead, though.:pac:
