The carry out bar sold cold cans of Tuborg & Gaymers last year. You can buy 4 packs & crates of 20/24. The price wasn't insanely huge (Sonisphere: £40 for crate of 20 3.6% crappy Carlsbergs, Global Gathering: £45 for 24 Tuborg) but there will probably be stalls along Richfield Avenue selling crates for slightly cheaper.

Why isn't the new NME tent flush against perimeter wall?

£40 for a crate of 20?! I'll think I'll stick with going to Tescos and getting 24 cans of Magners for £16!

Bloddy hell, £40 for 20 cans of crap 3.6% lager?
At Leeds last year it was £29 for 24 cans of Gaymers (original or pear), which actually wasnt too bad value imo, considering Those cans don't exactly go for less than a pound each anywhere.

Few changes, arena is wider up past arena entrance on left. Also hospital has moved, toilets stage left are further out north.

Looks different just now on site, been here 16 days now.. but campsites all the same

Does anyone know the prices down Richfield Ave?

[mrtourette]

No, I don't think that those guys advertise or publish their prices up front.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't as dear as fourty quid for twenty cans at Leeds. I got twenty four cans of Tetley's Bitter and it was about twenty five quid, I'm pretty sure it was the same for cider and lager as well.

Still the same crappy long walk in from town, around at about the campsite?

The main pedestrian gate in from town, Red, a couple of years back you walked straight in up the side of the arena, these days you have the ridiculous hike, around the switchback up through Red, adds at least 20 extra minutes on the walk in from town

Still same enter red gate and then walk up through green. No access at o'malley alley AFAIK
