I bought a VIP ticket last year. There's nothing overly fancy about it. It's a small campsite, so less scumbags and generally older festival goers who aren't there to party all night. There's easy access to showers and decent toilets. I think there was a coffee truck there one day.
Location wise you are right beside the arena which is a perk. And closer to the exit for town if you want to go into Mitchelstown for a proper meal. Inside the Arena, there is VIP only section with a bar and few sofas/hammocks which was nice but I only discovered it on the Sunday.
If I was going back I'd paid it again but I'm old as f**k compared to the majority at this festival.
Ya I stayed in VIP last year and it's worth every penny.
Loads of space to camp, so your not on top of others like in the main camping area. Great showers but there can be queues at peak times. Great toilets. Charging facilities but these were always full when I tried to go, so I went to the area VIP area and used there sockets as it was nice and quiet in there. So nice to relax in there too on the hammocks and beanbags. The coffee truck came from there to the camping area on sunday morning and gave out free tea.
The only downside of the VIP area is the trek from the car park to it, you have to go through all of the campsites, it was a pain! Especially because we were told we would have easier access, but it was still worth the €50.
I've got my ticket already

I could've sworn I saw the minutes on one of their posters for this year
They definitely were on the initial announcement. Wonder if they've cancelled? Would be a shame.
I also see that Heineken has arrived as the beer branding on all the posters - I imagine this spells the end of the Franciscan Well stuff being sold? Fran Well are owned by Molson Coors so I doubt Heineken would allow a competitor's stuff to be sold at the festival.
Was always nice to have a mix of stuff on tap at the festival - some craft stuff as well as Canadian/Coors - everyone seemed to be able to find something they liked.0 -

Thank you! I knew I saw it somewhere, thought I saw it on their website only a couple of days ago. Would be a real shame if they cancelled!
Maybe they're the special guests on Sunday? 
That sucks, I loved having the choice of Canadian/franciscan and blue moon etc.
Plus I f*cking HATE Heineken :mad:0 -

The thought crossed my mind - I hope not. Bit of a let down if the special guests were an act previously announced!!!
Last time they had a 'special guest' slot, the Coronas filled it. Think that was 2014, so maybe someone of a similar size... Walking on Cars or Kodaline or something?
I'd be surprised if it was an international name - they get relatively few so they're usually the ones announced early on to drive ticket sales.0 -

So i got onto tickets.ie and because it is a general admission gig they would do nothing wouldnt replace or give duplicate tickets which is a bit ****ty and theyre customer service wouldnt talk about it on the phone just one line email responses saying there was nothing they could do.
Luckily enough my old housemate had actually taken the tickets with him when he left thinking they were his so got them back. All's well that ends well 0 -

That's mad. Surprised - I've had reprinted tickets from smaller companies than Tickets.ie so that's really strange.
Anyway, hope everyone got their tickets - weekend passes sold out last night.
Think day tickets are still going, though.0 -
I was really surprised too as i have gone to festivals before with the wrong ticket,went to castlepalooza with my EP ticket and they just toke my email confirmation and laser i paid with and let me in not bother.
Well alls well that ends well anyway
