Anyone know why Orange camp entrance/exit isn't there this year?

[ThatConnorGuy]

For the past few years there's been a rather great orange gate that's not there this year, any idea why?

[JustNick]

I'd heard there used to be one, this is my first time and I'm camping in Orange so a bit gutted there!

I've always camped in purple but planned on using the orange gate this year for tesco, i guess not

[jonnyisRFC]

Seriously shit if that is the case

There seems to be just two entrances now. One for weekend tickets & one for day tickets. First year they have done this so the might have got rid of the Orange gate to Tesco to remove any potential teething problems with the new system & day ticketers accessing the campsite via this entry poin.

This is gonna make life so much harder. Remember Melvin, fans not customers. Tesco must be pissed off too.

Nightmare! Going to make everything much more difficult, anyone have nay idea what the easiest place to go to from camp orange is??

I don't think actually has gone, just not shown on the map as an official entrance/gate to save confusion.  They've still marked it as the Supermarket but not labelled it as a Gate.  Last year I saw loads of people trying to get in with tickets via that route, rather than the ticket exchange points at White/Red/Green.

 

Hope so anyway...

I've heard rumours locally that there won't be access in and out of the site from Orange this year (I live near the Tesco). There is also an AA sign on Portman Road near the entrance road to orange saying 'No Festival Access'.

We will find out on Wednesday I guess, but hopefully there will still be pedestrian access in and out there!
