as you approach the festival down the main road there are usually touts, if no joy from them maybe have a walk up to the ticket collection booth near the fence/security/entrance thing to see if any returns have gone on sale on the sly. if no joy.. catch a bus back to leeds, go to a few bars then to the train station where there is a 24 hour bar. drink until the first bus in the morning sets off to the site.. repeat process until in the fest.
otherwise google hostel or hotel & leeds.

Is the Box Office easily accessible from the Coach Drop-off Point? I'm presuming no as it's round the other side, but surely they must have some provision for getting there if you're taking the shuttle bus? Couple of mates are hoping to buy on the day but we can only really get there by bus.

Nope, its Yellow gate which lets you in near Yellow Bubble, the box office is at the Drop off car park which is next to Red I believe :S

Ah... okay, 2 and 3 years ago (i didnt go last yr) the box office was at the yellow bubble entrance, which was also where the shuttle buses dropped you.
Or are there two box offices?

There may well be two box offices, I know there's one near Red, but didnt see one when I got the shuttle bus in 2006. Then again, I wasn't looking:P
