Your the one who is being negative. Honestly do you think that the people who are there now in Punchestown are going to reading this?

Why in Gods name did you leave your backpack outside? And with your passport in it. You are responsible for your own property, no matter where you go. So blaming MCD, and everyone else is not going to get your passport back.

Take it as a lesson learned... badly.

Eh he didnt, he said they cut the tent from the outisde and pulled out the back pack that was in his locked, zipped up tent.

When time does the 2FM audio coverage commence they never actually tell you anything for their schedules, when does the actual broadcasting of live performances start? BBC 3 kicks off with their broadcasting of T in the Park at 8.05 pm tonight.

Feck off!!! Yes, I am being negative, but if you are going to negatively respond to me, at least read my post properly, but I suspect reading isn't one of your strong points! MY BACPACK WAS IN THE TENT AND THE TENT WAS LOCKED!! The scumbags cut the rope from the stake to the tent and then pulled the bag out from under the tent.

I'm not writing this for those in Punchestown, although many have iphones and web access here, but I'm writing for all those on the boards that are thinking of going. IF so, STOP! Don't give MCD any more money if they can't provide proper security!! The only way to fix it, is to hit them where it hurts, financially!

This is typical Irish, someone get's robbed and it's all their fault!!

Would you honestly not have gone if you'd known someone had a passport stolen there? This is rife at Oxegen. You must have heard a story of this kind before you went.

Bringing your passport along 3 days before the biggest flight of your life. I can empathise with your frustration but you were asking for trouble!

You suspect quite a lot. But now you think you can judge people. Yes I misread your post. Take it on the chin, your not the first and you certainly won't be the last to have something stolen.

And you honestly believe people are going to stop attending Oxygen all because of this?

So it's all my fault I had no other form of photo ID and for for sleeping in my tent in the middle of the night cold sober with the tent zipped closed and locked from the inside and someone cut one of the tent stakes and pulled out my backpack from the outside and ran. I heard it and ran out yelling, but couldn't see him.

Then you woke up?

Seriously though. I sympathise with your story, if true.

Ive been to Oxegen/Witness 6 years in a row from 2003-2008 and never once have I nor any of a group of friends had even a t-shirt stolen. I can understand your distress but its not rampant and its only the scum that get in that try and wreck ppls experience but thats only a small minority, most people there are jsut trying to let loose, have some fun, listen to music and get stocious.

A garda ID? Costs a tenner.

People should be able to bring their passports with having to worry about scumbags robbing their tents, its pathetic how people defend that behaviour by saying oh sure thats Oxegen what do you expect. Sooner the better the festival goes belly up the better.

I wasn't defending anyone.
I'm just saying that common sense should dictate bringing another form of ID with you. A Garda ID is cheaper than a passport. There are also the aforementioned options of photocopying your passport (I got away with that when I was 17, without having to have any form of college/school ID). To compound it all, the user has to take a flight on Monday morning. Again, with due respect, what the hell was he thinking?!

So i've come into possesion of a VIP pass,

few questions for ye's! Is there wifi up there?!?!?! and will they show the munster final sunday?

You have 'no money' yet you can afford 250 euro for oxegen and God knows what for flights to America..... sure :rolleyes:

Yes, it's all my fault, not the knackers or the poor security. You'd think I was stumbling around drunk with 100 euro notes hanging out of my pockets with a neon sign over my head that said "Rob Me"! Maybe we should just lock ourselves up and never go out!!

That's easy to say if you have another form of ID. Once again, all my fault, I'm gonna have to remember to turn off that neon sign!!!!

Yeah ive been going since witness aswell, never had anything taken on any of us, although there's always been a big group of us, maybe that's why.
This is the first year im not going for the whole wk-end
Going on sunday, hopefully the sun will shine!

See I'm not going to bring my expensive iPods, cameras, jeans, Fred Perry polos or watches because I don't want them stolen. Then again, I have common sense.

Typical Irish response. "It's everyone else's fault. I didn't know the banks wanted the money back." I no longer empathise with you!!!

No, it was everyone else's fault. MCD should pay for extra security to pay to protect the guy who couldn't handle his drink on the Thursday night!

For the 1 person who moronically brought his passport with (just to repeat, 3 days before an important flight, the mind boggles), there are 30,000 who didn't have anything robbed. I've been down 4 years before, and am going down later this evening. Let's see if my important documents are stolen.

What are you talking about!!!! I never said i have no money, but I currently have no job with little money left and I'm leaving this country filled with people like you!! Yes after Oxegen, Aer Lingus and the few bob that was taken with my passport and now having to pay for a new passport, I have little left. Oxegen was to be my last hurah before leaving, now it's my last HUH!

I now know I'm making the right decision getting away from this country and people that can justify crime and blame the victim...

Feck off, and read before making claims!! I had no drink and it was taken from a locked tent. I was at security and the Garda station this morning and I can tell you my case was the rule, not the exception. Everyone I spoke to had something taken or a close call!! But it's my fault for living and I didn't know you were an expert on everything. I'll lock myself up somewhere and only come out when you say it's safe.

I just hope something like this happens to you!! I never had an experience like this and I too thought it couldn't happen to me and I'm paranoid and very cautious, but despite that I got burnt, so it's all my fault. Thanks, let me know when you're a victim and I'll return the favour.

So you were sober and someone was able to break into your tent, get away with money AND your beloved passport?! Good God!

Everyone you spoke to at the Garda station had stuff robbed. What an amazing coincidence.:cool:

I empathise with you and you hope I get robbed and beaten? You obviously have serious issues.

1) you're not empathising. You're patronising
2) they didn't say "they hope you get robbed and beaten"

I originally empathised. He wants me to get robbed, so I shall not. Ta.
