It's 18 on the camping map. It's part of the blue camp site.

Does anybody know if its possible to use a one day ticket for the sunday to get in to the picnic after midnight saturday as its technically a sunday .I am working friday and saturday so wouldnt be down until around midnight and it would be alot handier than having to pay 240 for a day of music

Gates open at 11:30 on Sunday morning for the Sunday Day ticket holders

Thats a negative according to the FAQ...you'll have to head to town.

They used to show the hurling every year in the Cinema Tent, but apparently a couple of years ago things got a bit rowdy during it. And apparently there was quite a few moaning michaels giving out about it being shown anyway. So I've heard. I was always happy out to get sauced up in the carpark or the campsite and stick it on the ol' wireless.

Feck if it rains as bad as it did on the Sunday last year I might not even go, not gonna chance it by bringing too much casual clothes at all, wellies and rain gear and a few t-shirts. Had to buy black bin bags on the Sunday last year to cover myself in them before heading into the rave in the woods

That was pretty horrific weather last year on the Sunday night, I gave up after Massive Attack and headed back to my tent

Seems that they did away with the Chaplin site this year and moved Quiet Camping to Warhol. Which might be quieter than last year -- it seems further away from the rave in the woods.

We'll be there with our 9-year-old. Prefer it to Family Camping because we want to camp with our friends who don't have kids.

If I have a day pass to Saturday is it impossible to get into the campsite that night? Was thinking of trying my luck. I guess I wouldn't get back in on Sunday though right?

Daypasses are only available for Sunday tho? If you want to go in Saturday you will have to buy a weekend ticket.

Has anyone volunteering received their confirmation yet from Catherine about their work schedule or bond details, I posted my details off a week last Monday and still havent received an email confirming my details. Its getting really close I need a schedule so I can plan my fun around it before Thursday at least.

Your pass is for Saturday as you are working but there are no day tickets for Saturday.

Quick question lads - getting Dublin Coach into Portlaoise good'n'early on Friday morning and according to their website, it drops us off at The Blue Bridge...now, where from there do we head to get the shuttle bus to Stradbally? (I believe Martley's bus are running the shuttles).

Don't think any of us have gotten our schedules yet, we'll probably get them sent out tomorrow.

Single Day Passes are indeed available. They're given to media, residents of the area and given to event partners/sponsors. Of course they're not on general sale but they do exist

Oh I'm psyced...

Doing it on a very tight budget! Damn you unemployment!

Will they be still doing the recycled/deposits glasses thing? I wasn't there last year, and I was working the bars the year before. Some people were making a killing! I know I paid out €240 to one girl.

Could do with being a bit of a cleaner

Bah. :mad: RTÉ weather mentioned persistent rain for Saturday.

I think I'll go by MT Cranium though; he seems to have a good reputation for getting it right! Showers sounds a lot better than persistent rain anyway.

Though I'm now beginning to regret purchasing a tent at Dunnes Stores! :pac:
