Any thoughts on what's the best way to get down from Dublin on friday? BÉ, Marathon or train to Portlaoise?

Helicopter would probably be the best way.

isn't it €2 a can in supermarkets? i know Heineken is around here anyway.
unless there's deals on, i'd prefer to pay €50 down there, than €48 and have to bring it down, especially if i was taking the bus/train...

Has anyone ever pre-ordered Booze from the Offy on Site? Is it worth it? Do you have to Q all of Friday just to get your booze.

Who is doing the Tour this year? Got on my bike for the first time since the last tour. I'll be at City West on Friday with a black eye and walking like John Wayne. Biking is dangerous!!

Have a great picnic everyone!!

*****Ignore my booze related question - Haha!! A quick refresh and all my questions were answered*****

freddiemoore

Isn't the offie open for regular customers too? Like you don't need to pre order do you? I remember going up and getting 4 cans there on the Sunday last year.

partay pooper

ok just ordered cans there, on the site it said my order number was one number then on the email confirmation it said the order number a different number. Confusing much??

The time and stage breakdown being released on Friday really stinks of trying to grab money for the lanyard, which is awful stuff...

How far is the walk from the campsites to Stradbelly to Supervalu? And assuming they stock up for the festival!

smalloran wrote: »

Yeah wouldn't see much difference in walking time getting to Supervalu than shopping in Portlaoise

I'd imagine for the shuttle bus to Port Laois you would have to walk out to the top road (i.e. Port Laois/Stradbally rd), if you are walking that far then Supervalu at that stage is a 2/3 min walk away.

A clash with Arctic Monkeys and The Knife was always going to happen mate.

I think The Knife are going to win that clash for me - was watching some of the their stuff on youtube and they are utterly insane. That I like.

Just a quick reminder to people about the awesomeness that is clashfinder

http://clashfinder.com/s/ep2013/

very very very VERY handy and mentioned a few times in the thread already but well worth a bump

Thank you for that.

Lemsiper

So they'll only let you bring 48 cans per person in, but yet you can order a max of 477952 cans with the online off-licence.

Does anyone have any idea where and when The Strypes are playing?

Single cans of Coors can go for over 2euro in supermarkets but there is usually deals on the slabs for under 30euro.

there used to be, but in the supermarkets here there has been very few deals on slabs this summer, have looked every few weeks due to a few festivals, and the only things are say 8canfor €12, or 12 cans for €18 etc.

i remember a year or 2 ago Tesco etc. had 24cans for €24 on lots of the popular beers, Carlsberg, Heineken, Guinness, Bulmers, etc.

Oh thank you.

Ok, am I cracking or did those times just go up for Electric Arena on Clashfinder.


EDIT: Is the comedy tent not open on the Friday night.

And I presume Mindfield is open friday night.

I know Heineken allow you to chill cans with them, but I remember they used to operate on an exchange basis, i.e. hand six warm cans in and get six chilled ones in exchange? Is this arrangement happening this year?

freelance2013

Save €25 and buy cheaper much better European beers and build some muscle on the walk I already have a 6.5kg gazebo to carry along with all my other stuff, must find some sort of indentured servant for the walk.

sackedlunch

I'm only buying enough Heineken for a few cold ones in the morning, once I'm out of the woods I'll happily move on to the warm stuff.

Thank you for that.

I saw the Knife at Primavera this year. Its a weird set, interpretive dancers and the like. bloody brilliant though

Twisted Wheel announced themselves on Facebook yesterday. I wonder are there any more yet to be announced.

Lemsiper

Obviously the booze you buy from the off licence won't be chilled?

If it's not chilled it's a joke.

With the volume they're likely to sell, surely they won't have the facilities to keep all the beer cold.

Tough call to make, I'd go and chance it but it's up to yourself really and how it feels

That's a real rip off so. They don't have any cheaper alternatives either. Carry your beer in I'd say, no way I'm wasting money on Heineken or Coors when there are way nicer cheaper alternatives.

We aren't climbing a mountain here, we're walking from a car park to a field...
