Whats the story, could i enter the blue camp entrance with a red ticket?

    The colour on your ticket has nothing to do with what campsite you stay in. If you have a Red Ticket, it means you have to take the Red Route into Punchestown and park in the corresponding car park. But you can camp anywhere you like after that!!

    I've done the same thing a few times, don't think you'll have any bother.

    The red/blue campsite tickets are just for the parking really. You can freely walk between Red and Blue and camp anywhere you want in either, regardless of the colour ticket :)

    I've bought a pair of day tickets for the Saturday. My plan was to drive down on Saturday morning in our campervan and park up in the car-park. Go to the gig on Saturday and sleep in the van on Saturday night and then drive back up on Sunday. Does anyone know if it would be OK to do this? Are campers allowed into the car-parks? I read somewhere that this wasn't allowed...

    Gigs '24 - Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball (Gomez), The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Smashing Pumpkins/Weezer, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Stendhal Festival, Forest Fest, Electric Picnic, Ride, PJ Harvey, Pixies, Public Service Broadcasting, Therapy?, IDLES(x2)

    The car parks on site are usually full on the friday, and most cars are then turned away to the park and ride in goffs, but someone else might have more information.

    In 2006 with the Watson Twins? That album might not lend itself well to Oxegen but Jenny Lewis is, no doubt, an extraordinary woman! Fantastic back in 2008 at the Button Factory, and the sound of her newest album will lend itself really well this year if the crowd are into it and there's sun. So excited for her!
