I got one of those unlimited use wristbands free one year cause it was my birthday but it was on the Sunday and the Comfy Crappers were too far from everything so I never bothered using it! My bf used them once and thought they were alright, nothing fantastic. I honestly wouldn't spend money on them but that's just my opinion obviously!

The location of these comfy crappers seems to have improved though judging by the map, they're dotted around the place (e.g. on the walk from the Blue campsite to the Arena there are a few). I've heard some proper horror stories about regular portaloos

Don't they have a signing tent where some artists go to sign merchandise for fans? You just queue up and wait your turn to meet them. I guess you could pray that Afrojack is on the list to be in the tent as not everyone wants to do it.

i REALLY doubt he'll be doing it... pity though, would have even payed someone to get me backstage to meet the guy himself..big fan

This may be a stab in the dark but does anyone know if there will be a place at Oxegen to catch the British grand prix? Big screen etc?

I hope so, but we could always head into Naas and watch it there if needs be.
I'd imagine there'd be a big enough crowd wanting to watch it to warrant a big screen though.

FF/DM clash is killing me...

were you trying to go in the day ticket holders entrance?

i've seen people arriving on saturday morning with camping tickets in previous years and getting in fine.
as long as you're going in the campsite entrance, it shouldn't be a problem.

peppapig24

No but because i needed to go to the box office they wouldnt let me through the campsite end ridiculous really spent hours argueing but to no avail. Hopefully with a ticket in hand this year it will be diffrent. Thanks.

No chance of F1 being shown up there man, only way to watch would be Naas

Guys, just to go slighty off topic for a minute. Anyone have any experience with the park and ride carpark at Geoffs ? Would you think there would be any hassle I were to sleep in the car for a couple of hours on the saturday night ? Just to sleep off the drink before heading away on sunday morning.

And yes, I'll stop drinking early, give it at least 12 hours. Etc.

No, I meant Geoffs. Do you not know Geoff ? He lives quite close to Punchestown, opens his driveway up as a park and ride...

Of course I meant Goffs you trolling scrote. I can't apologise enough for my typo. :rolleyes: It was written after 3am in the morning though as you can see.

So now that I've clarified that I was talking about GOFFS, can you acutually add to what I asked ? Or are you just another turd that loves to hang out on this forum and point out others mistakes, making yourself feel like the big man. Place is full of them it seems.

lol!

Does anyone know the answer BTW?

Is it possible to charge mobile phone in Oxegen ?

Staying in campsite

connundrum

Sorry to ask a question that may have been asked a number of times before but..

Myself and the missus are considering the luxury campsite (green) and getting a pre-pitched tent from one of the suppliers.

Has anyone stayed in the green site before? Is the extra moolah worth it i.e. is there no hassle on this site/are the facilities much better?

yep, there's a few charging stalls that you leave your phone with them for a few hours, and they charge you something like a tenner.


bringing an older phone that will last the weekend on a single charge is a much better idea IMO than bringing an expensive one that needs to be charged constantly.

sadly its the most water logged prone area, its quite far away from the arena, but its nice to be in a site free of the usual trouble, worth it imo

Any word on weather?

Hi everyone...

A friend and I got Friday to Sunday tickets for the Blue Fri - Sun camping. I was looking on the Oxegen site and can't find any information regarding the time the campsite opens on Friday? I was looking around on other forums and someone said check your ticket but it doesn't say (we printed the tickets)!! Does anybody know what time the Blue Fri - Sun campsite opens at on Friday?

Ideally we want to be there as early as possible (to avoid the queues and traffic and get somewhere good to camp) but I was looking at the Oxegen bus timetables and Dublin bus only run from 12 noon on Friday which seems a bit stupid considering it takes like an hour to get there, then another few hours to get in and put up your tent. Is there a way we could get there early on the Friday (before campsite opens) that wouldn't cost too much? Or should we go down on the Thursday night and queue up all night outside.

You are probably thinking why didn't we get 4 day tickets but my friend is only flying in from England on the Thursday evening so it was kinda impossible

Get the 126 Bus from Busaras or Heuston Station to Naas Friday morning, then the free shuttle bus from the centre of Naas into Punchestown- it picks you up the same place the 126 bus drops you off. Havent got the bus to Naas in a long time but it was around €6 for a single ticket.

As far as I'm aware, the campsite opens at 12 each day. If you want to go in on Thursday night it's 20 euro extra.

That page says the campsite opens at 12pm on Thursday and closes on Monday at 2pm. It doesn't say the campsite ever closes other than then, so I can't imagine if you show up at 9am Friday looking to pitch your tent you'll be told it's closed...

you sir are correct. You can get access to the campsite at any time. If you arrive Friday morning at 9am with a camping ticket, you can get into the campsite.

As long as it's after 1AM Friday morning, you're in

O'Doodle

Ah that's grand then. Thanks alot of that information. Was just a bit worried it would be closed. Definitely going to take the bus to Naas then, alot cheaper than the 20 Euro return on Dublin Bus.

On the camping thing. Do you reckon there will be many spaces left on Friday if we get there early? Is the Fri - Sun camping in a different area or is it all joined up?

maximoose

Yeah I wouldn't worry about camping space, if you're getting there Friday morning there will be plenty of space. Its all the same campsite, but its fairly massive.

Hey folks, sorry to ask a bizarre question but...
I'm literally broke and can't afford any extra expenses to my weekend than what I've already budgeted for, and I've heard that there's a Durex tent that gives free condoms... Is that true/reliable? Or should I just spend a few bucks buying them? (I'd rather try and find free ones but in this case it's literally better safe than sorry)
