I'm sure there's another thread for something like this but it's been drowned out by all these ticket sale ones, so, it's my first time, I'm a 16 year old boy, what should I bring?  Got to start getting it together.  Cheers for any pointers.

baby wipes, a hat, phone and plenty of cash!

[russell90]

Alcohol, tent, ticket, enough money for one yorkshire pudding meal per day.


Job done.

I wouldn't take a pillow or air bed, to be honest. When you're off your tits you won't be arsed about any of them. I just used my rucksack as a pillow and the ground wasn;t overly hard.

And I couldn't be arsed taking cooking utensils and shit. Just buy your grub in the arena. Loads easier than carting pots, pans, stoves etc... about.

They have stalls were you can buy pretty much most stuff but you will pay a premium for it (esp. cigarettes so if you smoke stock up on them)

Never under-estimate the importance of taking baby wipes. They are essential.

It's basically a yorkshire pudding filled with sausages and mash. They're awesome. You need to get one.

They sound AMAZING I am so going to have to get one! This is my fave meal in the whole world (boring I know), so this excites me! Mmmmm!

I had an ace burrito at Leeds last year, so hopefully they're be at V.

the only downer is if its raining you have to stand up to eat it, which means holding the plate in one hand and trying to use your knife/fork with the other hand, which is tricky, believe me!
