I'm the ultimate gobsh*te. Have accommodation booked but don't have a ticket and can't get one.

What's my chances of getting in if I just head down, whether touts or official?

If it was me I'd spend the day today or tomorrow on adverts and toutless rather than waiting down there friday not knowing whether you'll get one.

Try the facebook group Ticket Drop too theres a few people selling some!

I am driving down on Friday but will be driving home on Friday night. Heard that there might be an issue leaving the Red Car Park at night. Where is the best place to park if I want to get out without much hassle?

The handiest one to get out of is Z. It is right beside the N80 on the Portlaoise side of Stradbally.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Just got one!!!!

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really spooky - one of those posting tickets just now turned out to be a neighbour....

Thanks everyone!!

The EP Gods are punishing you, you must have done something unworthy at a Picnic in previous years. You stole someone's tent pegs I bet

this_time

Anyone know how big the 2 man tent in pink moon is? As in would I fit two single air mattresses comfortably? Bonus points for the name of the actual tent used.
Thanks

I've seen a ticket being sold on a Facebook group I'm in. There's still some floating about

Nah that is punishment for stealing a chair or cans I reckon.

Tough break...

Ticket hunters - there are bargains to be had from now until Friday morning. Or at least there was last year. Keep an eye on the usual places!

Thanks for that. Are there any restrictions on what car parks you can get into. I have a weekend camping ticket but have something on Saturday morning so cant camp Friday night but don't want to miss Grace Jones and Underworld

you will fit two single air beds no bother. I don't know the name of the tents but the are a typical dome structure, well made and well pitched.

Happy Pear if you want stuff that's actually good for you.

That's the bell or tipi tents. There's also standard 2 man tents. These will also fit them but less comfortably

Has anyone ever come in through Athy? Does the traffic be bad along the route? I'll be doing it about 11am on Friday

I've traveled this way loads of times and you might be held up in Athy for 5-10 mins but its fine all the way to Stradbally then. You won't get to the red car parks though as you'll be sent into the green car park.

Cheers. It's the Green I want. First time in Pink Moon this year

Anybody notice the bands on the Salty Dog at night that are on the timetable as a letter and a load of astrixes. I assume these are the special guests? 'G*** B***' is obviously Girl Band. There's another beginning with a 'H'.

Few earlybirds at 160 quid too. Anyone looking for a ticket will get one I reckon. Same for every gig/festival.

On Friday they send all the traffic from the Portlaoise and Abbeyleix roads to the red car parks and traffic from the Carlow side of Stadbally to the green car parks. On Saturday and Sunday they send everyone to the green car parks. You can come and go as you please from any of them, but the green car parks are bit handier to get out of.

Ya internet is hopping with tickets.

If people are thinking about sunday and find someone selling jump on it, because its not as easy to find last minute on saturday as you would think.

at 11 you should be ok. i remember coming through around lunchtime one yer and we were about 30mins in traffic coming through the town. not sure if that would have been before or after the schools were back, but i wouldn't try coming though there between 12:30 and 2:30.

Must have been a metric fcukton of divs trying to be Del Boys and snapping up extra tickets in the hope of flogging them for more money later on.

Thanks. I read earlier that the Red Car Park closes at night and you can't get out.

turbowolfed

The Florence/Tame Impala is the toughest choice for me wouldn't be surprised if i ended up flipping a coin on Sunday night to decide who to see!

Quick question - Previous picnic's I went down on the bus from Dublin but we're heading down in the car this year for the first time. What's the story with the car parks? Are the green car parks closer?

(Planning to camp in Hendrix btw)

Sometimes they do - sometimes they don't. Solution - keep a spare cap or two on you.

Yeah, that was a pretty illogical piece of scheduling. I'd say most Viet Cong fans would also be Interpol fans.
