Just wondering when security are checking your bags as you enter the campsite tomorrow, you're allowed bring crates of cans right?
And are you able to bring 500ml bottles of vodka in? I'm bringing extra lids.. But will they just take the lids and let me keep the drink, or take the drink altogether? I'm hiding it anyway, but just wondering....

You can bring as much drink as you like in but just no glass, put your vodka in an empty coke bottle or something and it'll be grand!:D

Anybody know what the Vodafone Vantage stage is like?

Just won 2 tickets to be on the platform watching The National perform.

Is it suspended in the air or something?

Really? Before the campsites even open? That's disastrous......if of course you're not just trolling and trying to wind people up,you wouldn't do that?...and looks like you aren't....that's bad news indeed, thought one day of rain wouldn't make that much of a mudbath

thinkn about buying ticket from ticketmaster online and collecting from box office just wondering they will hardly be strict on the name on the card will they?

I won tickets for it too. There was some Vodafone stand at Hard Rock Calling I assume it's something like that. It's basically an elevated platform

Was there yestrday and the rain could not have come at a worse time. The grounds will be destroyed once trodden on and more rain to come today

I am told less than half the tickets have been sold so there will be plenty of room.

It looks like the beginning of the end for Oxegen unless they can do something major with the cost. Rip off Ireland is at an end guys.

Enjoy it everyone

Was meant to pack last night, instead went out on the lash. Hungover packing today is gonna be fun.

not sure which crossroads you're talking about, but he should be able to get to any of the crossroads around the site, he'll prob be stuck in traffic for a lot of it though, if he's collecting you after the last act.

i'm pretty sure you can enter through the day enterance with camping wristbands, you could in previous years anyway...

You would prob be better getting picked up back in Naas because of the traffic and would prob take forever to get in and out

Hey. I'm so confused about getting there...I haven't booked anything yet!!

I saw this on the Bus Eireann site - http://www.buseireann.ie/inner.php?id=250. Is that a good deal? I honestly want to be there as early as possible on the Friday morning so maybe 8am is too late.

Someone said we could just get a bus to Naas, then get the free shuttle bus to the campsite? Is this true. Where do I get that bus to Naas in Dublin? I live in Dublin 8. Arggh soo confused! Sorry

Dry shampoo tbh. I need it. I've put it in the middle of my rolled-up sleeping bag and it looks pretty inconspicuous, hmmm...

Just a warning about dry shampoo. I was at a festival last year and was lighting a cigarette behind a mates head (he'd been using dry shampoo btw) and his hair burst into flames. He'd had a few alcoholic beverages so didn't really notice.

On topic:

The weather's not looking too bad for the weekend. Showers tomorrow, some Saturday and very little rain the rest of the weekend. I'd imagine the ground's fairly soggy though.

I'm not going now, but have fun guys

Are cans of shaving gel allowed in? As far as i know it's not aerosol, just pressurized.

That woman gets on my wick. Its all "I know loads of famous people" and "Jordan is jealous of me" and "Im the best mother in the world". She is a talentless gee bag.

How in the hell did that vapid piece of crap get a slot at Oxygen :eek:

Last year's one had a lot more place to get in and out of at the sides, if I remember correctly. You didn't need to queue for ages to get near the front.

I think it's a one in one out setup for that pit. It depends on who is on before her. There was a mass evacuation last year when Jay z was playing and then arcade fire. A tsunami of gansta rappers coming out of the pit with the wider sides.

You can stay at the front all day if you want, but be willing to get squashed a lot .

Anyways, there should be no problem getting to the front anytime, just start movin up about half an hour before she starts to make sure.

Last year seemed very easy to get to the front at any time, with the exception of Muse of course
