If I were to order tickets now, do you think they'd get delivered before Friday? I'm in Dublin.

Ideally, a collection point would be easier but I can't find details of one.

If you order it now it will probably arrive in the post tomorrow. If it's not going to arrive on time they surely won't be selling it.

Mine arrived the next day, I'm sure.

Cool, thanks.
I emailed them and they got straight back saying that there a is a box office that will supply tickets if time is too short to post.

I created a free Android timetable app for this festival. You can use this to create an itinerary and set reminders etc ..

Thankfully someone created a clashfinder from the timetable released last night and I can use that data to make this app.

Theres no need for network connectivity on site once you have loaded the data before you go.

I can't post links but it here it is
playDOTgoogleDOTcom/store/search?q=indiependence%202014&c=apps
(change DOT for .)

If someone could post that as a usable link that would help somewhat

...or if you search the Android play store for "Indiependence 2014" it should be the top hit.

I don't do iPhone apps .. so please don't ask

will certainly do my best .. almost 1,000 people used my app at EP last year. I was shocked sitting outside on Sunday when I looked on the play store and saw the number of downloads. Shocked and proud… Its a fair bit better this year as I have been tweaking it a fair bit over the year.

MattD

This looks ideal anyway, cheers for the effort. No network needed is a big plus.

Think the only issue with drink on site is bringing it into where the music is on. Shouldn't be a problem lugging drink to the tent/campsite.

Casshern88

Is there an Indiependance 2014 playlist on spotify?

There are a number of bars with a huge product range on site but if you are bringing some alcohol with you, here’s what you need to know.

You cannot bring any alcohol into the main arena, it’s a licensed premises, you don’t bring a 6 pack to your local pub!
You may bring a sensible amount of alcohol into the campsite (NO GLASS), by sensible, we mean one slab of beer or cider (24 cans) and one litre of spirits. If security deem at search that you have too much, they will ask you to dump it or return it to your car. Trust us, you will enjoy the weekend more if you drink a little less!

it seems quite loose …. although I wouldn't compare a festival with a pub myself. Having said that..

festival website wrote:

Drinks – Molson Canadian, Bacardi, Kopparberg, Rebel Red, Shandon Stout, Blue Moon, Friar Weiss and Chieftan IPA. Please please please drink lots of water also!

nothing for us regular lager drinkers who don't think North American lager is a proper beer

I couldn't make it last year but if its anything like 2012 there should be no issue with going back and forth to the car for supplies (booze). Even the allowance of a slab per person is not exactly enforced. Very laid back and forgiving security firm as long as you're not an out of control tosser. Also, I highly reccomend the rebel red if you're buying drink on site

What are security like for people smoking around tents/campsite. Be it cigarettes, or weed, does anyone know?

Searched on YouTube and found that someone had created one as well. Listened away while at work

If whomever created it is also on boards, thanks!

Hi Guys,

any one heading to the festival solo? I won tickets for the weekend but none of my mates are able to go so looks like its flying solo for me.

Your an adult you can do what you like as long as your not being a nuisance to others. Security won't care about weed. Blatantly doing othe drugs in front of them is not advisable. Put the weed away if the guards come over though.

hughie1989

this is a long shot but I'm looking for 2 weekend camping tickets? anyone selling any? please and thanks!

highgiant1985

For any one who has been before I was wondering

1) are you allowed leave / go freely? In to town and back for what ever.

2) is it allowed to bring drink in from town during the weekend? e.g. if I use up cans I bring in with me Friday can I go in to town and bring some in Saturday.

From my own experience 2 years ago, yes to both questions

Any speculation or info on who might be the Special Guest? Or who's replacing Chloe Howl for that matter?!

RSAG has tweeted about gig announcements today, so I'm suddenly thinking its him for one of them anyway...

I heard the Coronas may be making a sneaky appearance

catch--22

Anyone know from previous years if there are daily buses going from the site to and from Cork City? A friend is heading down just for the Friday and doesn't want to be stuck there come Saturday afternoon.

Thanks

There are 4 TBAs on the timetable … Wonder when we will find out whats in those slots? I guess one could be RSAG .. probably Saturday 20.45 Big Top if it is him. The other vacant slots are all first spots of the day.

Usually Special Guests (note plural) is announced on the day… I have no idea who that could be. Often these turn out to be not so "special" in my experience.

sebcity

Coronas have confirmed. 6.15 on Saturday

BadTurtle

They've pushed the boat out with that one alright

socco

If i met a bird at a gig and things went well could I bring her back to my tent in the vip section if she only had a normal camping band.

BadTurtle

Depends on the size of the bird.

Anyone know if you are allowed to bring razors and aerosol cans in with you?

Yeah, into the camping part anyway. Be surprised if you end up bothering with the former though!

highgiant1985

Hi I assume its OK to bring in bottles of water / food in as well? (Hope so as prices would be expensive to buy that stuff there!)

Jesus Juice

Really excited about the Dance tent line up, sucking down on a few Blue Moons!

highgiant1985

hi folks

I might* have a spare vip weekend camping ticket.

I say might as I've already offered to give it to someone on here but that was earlier today at 4pm and they've still not come back to me. I've left them 2 messages and my phone number but if they don't come back to me early tomorrow I'd rather see the ticket get used than go to waste.

Ticket cost me nothing so I'm giving it away for zip though if you see me over the weekend and want to offer a beer can I won't say no :P If any one is interested they can drop me a mail and if the other person doesn't come back to me its yours.

I'll be down in Mitchlestown early in the morning so can hand over ticket there.

Show time!

Hope you have a blast anyway. Stubbly and all though you'll be.

Was at this last night and heading again this evening.

Really nice set up last night, Walking on Cars and Tom Odell were both on top form and had the crowd going the whole way through.

Also caught the last 20 minutes of Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. Really good vibe in the tent, although tent was only 50-60% full. Major queues for the Silent Disco when I was leaving around 1.30am.

Some decent drink options also, the beer hall in a real treat. 5 quid a pint and you pay 2 quid for your cup which is exchanged each time you get a fresh pint. security was present around the site but not in your face. Wide range of ages in attendance last night.

Heading along around 5pm this evening so will update tomorrow!!

Very young crowd this year. Well behaved though. Can't keep up with them anymore. Getting old
