I don't agree with VIP bars at festivals. Everyone who has bought a ticket should be entitled to the same facilities. The only good thing about a VIP bar is that it's a cash bar. I hate token systems :lol:

From the website

2009 Bar prices & Cashback info

2009 heralds the introduction of Bar Tokens! Bar Tokens will only be available from the token booths located to the left of the Greenman Inn.

For a number of years the festival have tried to find a reliable way of being able to offering a cashback service to festival goers and this year we decided to go for it but doubled with that we can now also accept debit and credit cards as a way of paying for drinks. Card transactions are just not practical in the bars themselves and as such we have introduced the Bar Tokens and Cashback booth to combine both. Its the first year of doing it and we will endeavour to make the service as efficient and effective as we can and as always it will review it following the event. Bar Tokens should also reduce queuing times at the bars as no change needs to be given.

One Token = £1.60

= 1 x Soft Drink

Two Tokens = £3.20

= 1 x Pint Lager / 1 x Pint Beer / 1 x Cider / 1 x Wine / 1 x Alcopop / 1 x Spirit & Mixer / 2 x Soft Drinks

Tokens will replace cash in the following bars:

Greenman Inn

Village Bar (Acoustic Village)

Bass Camp Bar

Both tokens and cash can be used in the VIP (Wickerman House Party) Bar.

The Pimms & Champagne Bar and the Angostura Bitters Rum Bar will only accept cash. Both the Pimms & Champagne Bar and the Angostura Bitters Rum Bar are new to the Wickerman this year and will be nestled in next to the Star Wood looking down across the site to the main stage.

The token booth will be equipped to accept cash and and all major debit and credit cards (subject to a transaction fee).

The token booth is also the venue for getting cashback. If you are out on the site without cash, worry not, just venture to the booth signposted 'Bar Tokens & Cashback' and ask one of the friendly faces for assistance. You can request cashback without the purchase of bar tokens but will also be subject to a transaction fee.

really looking forward to the wickerman. just a few questions!!

Security are they lax in order to smuggle booze in no Gloves and hand up the rectum carry on?

What sort of distance is everything from each other? ie carpark to campsite, main stage to everything else?

Is the craic good? didnt like the fact they put up a notice to say antisocial arseholes not allowed in if they are in pub watch is there a lot of them likes?

What sort of size is the tents for the lesser stages?

Official rules are no drink to be taken into the arena from the campsite, apparently it's been that way for a few years but last year was the 1st time I have ever been asked/searched.

So smuggling is the way forward :O

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
