For 2010, when do you plan to release tickets? Also will you do an early bird scheme with ticketline to allow payments to be paid up over 3 months or a deposit scheme similar to your other events?

Also for 2010, do you plan to expand the Friday to a full day or keep it same as this year? And would you consider opening the Thursday if it did go full 3 days?

Finally, What's the latest on the weather for the weekend? Is there any sheltered areas being set up.. apart from in the arena tents?

Hi We have camping tickets but are staying at a different campsite due to the amount of theft last year. My friend has asthma and her spare inhalers and mediation were stolen.

We dont intend in coming and going just in and out once on the saturday and on the sunday?

Will this be okay?

hello jim

i've heard some rumours that stage times on sunday night will be staggered. obviously you've said prodigy and erol alkan don't clash, but do prodigy and placebo clash? what about biffy clyro and soulwax? (i know they most probably do, but i'm living in hope)

cheers.

hey jim,

From the pictures it seems that the main stage is the same size as 2007 and not 2008 will it be able to cope with all the lighting etc that will be needed for the prodigy and basement jaxx and other large acts?

cos i know the prodigy now have a much larger show.

thanks,

michael

Hi Jim,

Times times times, will we again have to endure the over priced time laminates that are (lets be honest) a rip off, surely given the price of production and the inevitability of there being changes post print it would make more sense to release this in PDF format via the website?

Cheers.............

Hey Jim,

I was told that DubFire have pulled out and Fred Falke will be playing, can you verify this?

Also(and i realise board members will be able to answer this probably) whats the deal with Nesstival?

Is it camp site entertainment like DJs and stuff open till the early hours whereas the main area open till the last headlines? How do we know whats going on inside Nesstival will it be mentioned in one of them guide things?

Thanks.

Scott

Oh and everyone if you don't really have anyone to see on Friday go check out my mate DJ Magick (Kyle Grey) who will be playing on the VIP stage.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for this opportunity! :rolleyes:

just wondering what the deal is on taking in food, obv not be allowed like a whole picnic but snacks and stuff, surely we're allowed them??

also I'm 18 and my girlfriends 17 but 18 next month? We'll hardly be drinking cos we're they're to enjoy the music but is there any chance she may be turned away?

Cheers!

Hi Jim, First of all thanks for doing this It's nice to see management that cares about their punters.

Question:

I am working as a steward for oxfam this year and we haven't really heard much about what we will be doing. Any idea what sort of roles we will have as stewards (so I can estimate how to pack :rolleyes: )

Looking forward to a great weekend,

Cheers

Hello Jim

I have purchased 2x 2day weekend camping tickets for the festival this weekend. I have only just realised that this means I will not have acess to the arena on the friday night. I have already contacted my point of purchase and they said it is too late in the day to upgrade through them.

Will it be possible to upgrade these tickets at the box office on site when I arrive on friday? If so how much will it cost? I am aware that a day weekend ticket can be upgraded to camping the same way.

Thank you,

Sean

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
