I have been very lucky to have been given VIP tickets for the festival i have never been to Leeds festival before. Has anyone been VIP before, what does this entitle?

not had one at leeds but i've had a media/press/RIP tic at download fest before and if it's anything like that, you'll get decent showers, proper flushing toilets, a quiet campsite near to the arena and access to certain backstage areas.. have fun!

Congrats man vip at leeds is pretty good, been there two or three years. Its in a separate camp site to the rest of the festival which is good if you like it to be quieter. But if you want to be where the party is at then you can still camp with everyone else. It means though you have access to excellent toilets and showers. Also the backstage bar/ breakfast cafe which has excellent and cheaper food which i recommend in the mornings to help the hangover! Also unless its changed you have a separate entrance the main arena which ends up right by the main stage which is handy. Theres a big field right by the backstage bar which is full of benches etc where everyone sits and watches the main stage and many band members etc tend to hang out there. Enjoy yourself

The campsite for guest/VIP is very quiet, but the toilets and showers are great. In 9 years of having guest/VIP tickets I can honestly say I have never seen anyone very famous (this includes eating at artist catering every day!!) but if your a Hollyoaks fan the place is crawling with them plus you can take your own beer in to the arena!! they make you put it in a cup, but better than the bar prices in the arena Have fun mate

lol yeah hollyoaks actors/ actresses were everywhere. I dont watch it myself and couldnt figure out why i recognized all these people Anyway apart from that ive bumped into many band members and radio DJ's etc down there.

Hiya Monkey

How do you get VIP tickets?

last year this burger van man said if I'd sleep with him I'd be in - but that turned out not to be quite accurate (although I did learn an imaginative use for ketchup)

so --- what do you have to swallow to get a vip ticket?

my mates have vip for reading, and i don't

Haha theres many different ways to get guest/ vip pass. Win tickets. Know someone who works for a sponsor or brewery, use someones "blue badge" for almost any disability and fill out a form in advance, this also gets you a free ticket.

yeah?

tell me more -- my mum is a spastic.

lol right its too late for this year. But if your applying next year you need to go on the site and request a form to fill out. You'll have to explain why you should have access to the vip area and a photocopy/ proof of disability. Then when you turn up at the festival you'l need that person to be with you to pick your wristbands up (Which is near the box office) then your sorted

Ooooooh you are so lucky, don't suppose you can get another. I am so desperate to get a weekend ticket, I have never been to a festival and all my mates are going. Couldn't get the time off work when they went on sale and everyone is selling them at such crazy prices. Please anyone I need HELP!!!!!

My Dad knows the company who provide all the porta cabins, loos, golf buggies etc thats how I get mine. Comes in very handy!

N yeah the only ppl I've ever seen were soap starts from hollyoaks, corronation st n emerdale. N djs like collin murray, chris moyles. N bands I have no interest in like the mystery jets n the subways! No one interesting goes in there!

LOL so's mine..but I still dont ever get VIP tickets..

Seriously though my parents were in the VIP bit in '06 and my Dad has drank his way around Barnsley on his 'I met Bruce Grobbalar at Leeds Fest' stories..ever since..
