Why do they advertise as next Friday?

exilec

Completely shattered today .Some weekend . Does anybody know if it's confirmed for Sept 1-4 ? Know it probably will be , but hoping it's the week before

Do they send out the codes or do you have to apply?

scruff monkey

You get an email with the code from ticket bastard

D.Q

Considering getting Pink Moon this year, anyone done it before? or any of the luxury camping, thoughts?

ab4248

Couldnt go back to ordinary camping. No lugging of tents and having to put them up (esp in the rain). So close to main arena. Toilets were better this year than last I thought.

D.Q

what sort of price are you talking for the pink moon?

they now know its set in concrete and have increased numbers to a steady 55,000.. this year (2017) they will increase across the board,get in early early early is my guess

ab4248

Agree with Skyfarm. This year we paid €105 pp inc self inflatable mats. You can get everything off them down to the head torch if you want.

scruff monkey

On pink moon, Think I paid 170 for a two man this year but I booked the day the ep tickets went on sale, and got them at the previous years price. As said, you can get everything off them, but the prices they charge for things like inflatable mats are extortionate, you can buy them for the same price.

On pink moon, my 3 man tent only weighs a few kg. It's all the drink and water thats a killer and you'll still have to carry that. I understand people might lke the extra security, showers and a more relaxed atmosphere but really who needs to shower at a 3 day festival unless you go rolling around the muck. Oscar Wilde was fine this year imo, very civilised, plenty of security and rarely any queues to get into the main arena. I'm weighing up the pros and cons and it doesn't seem worth the money to me but maybe I'm missing something?

Yeah, it's pretty much that for me and the convenience of just arriving at any time and getting started.

Ok, I did pink moon this year and I have to say a lot is made of it that it isnt.
Yes, its got clean toilets and showers ( there was a huge queue yesterday ) - but its still camping, its still sleeping on inflatable bed 2 inches off the grass, and there will still be muck in yer tent. although in fairness I did feel my stuff was safe.

If you have the cash and want a little extra comfort pay the money - if not spend the cash elsewhere.

looking forward to next year already though

I don't think anybody ever claimed that it was anything different.

D.Q

Are the tents good quality? Its also meant to be really close to the arena? Is there any sort of curfew or noise limits or anything. Sorry for all the questions and appreciate the help

ab4248

We were in a 6 man. Middle area is a single skin but sleeping pods double. IMO 6 man the way to go for space. Friends in 8 man hadnt as much living space. Had a porch area for wet stuff. 11 on chairs with a table comfortably Sat morn. Some used showers said they were nice. We were a 5 min (max) walk from main stage. Have to go through Salty Dog if past a certain hour. Only remembered it was 2 sat night. Never made it back in time anyhow. Quiet time between 1-7. We were near the arena entrance so that didnt affect us. Could hear music all night. Thought security was stricter last year. Bar is nice but was something like €18 for full brekkie! Used to just go to paintballing cafe place. Less walking, very near Green Car Park were the plusses for me.

Thanks so much for info, sounds great. How much was the 6man?

Well it was made out to me to be the equivalent to a couple of nights in Ashford castle!

we had a 2 man tipi - fairly spacious, could sleep 4 at a push
people are supposed to be quiet from 1am to 7am and it is fairly quiet at all times ( from within camp) - I think in general it is a bit more of a mature crowd in there

it was 2mins from our tent to arena - a big plus, and far less mucky than the the other way.

yes - 7yoyo for 2 sausages in a bap! ffs
