Front Row Camping

[FannyBaws]

I thought the Front Row Campsite looked boring and empty, much like the quiet campsite in red. Quite happy I wasn't there, the atmosphere in Yellow was amazing!

[Paul ™]

It was definitely empty but was far from boring. We had about 6 tents in our group and about 3 or 4 other big groups around us then a bunch of people there not in groups and there was good banter every night and laughs to be had. Was definitely not as full on as previous years at other festivals but was far from boring and there was always someone to talk shite with day or night and tunes blaring almost 24/7.

The point of camping for me is for the atmosphere, and that includes the mentalists and idiots doing stupid stuff.. any time I popped into front row or vip it seemed devoid of any fun at all.

Was more than happy camping in one big group in yellow, rather than spitting into smaller groups.

At least our bit was kept tidyish and had very little rubbish lying about on the Monday morning*

*though more than there should have been!

[Paul ™]

i think the atmosphere is better without mentalists and idiots. nice laid back, friendly atmosphere in front row. didn't see any bother there all weekend.

I loved being in front row, after being in yellow last year i much prefer the atmosphere in front row.Felt quite secure leaving tent for the whole day.

Definately, as we were quite near the security on the gate from the stalls to front row which I knew.

And we also had security over visiting us a few times, one of them even challenged another eFester coming out of my tent as he knew it was mine

I was camped in yellow but had a front row wristband. I dropped the kids off at the pool every morning in front row. No complaints from me!

Were the showers in the actual VIP bit or was it just free use of the showers down next to the carling local?

I'm thinking about VIP next year and showers (without having to que for 2hrs) is a big selling point for me.

[krisskross]

I dont see why more of the VIP ticket ppl didnt set up camp in front row. They had to walk through it to get to the arena so nothing was stopping it.

The VIP shower were pretty nice.

[Tokely]

We were about the 3rd tent up in the VIP area this year but by the end of the night we where abit packed in compared to the year before, but I did notice that the VIP campsite was smaller this year.

We had 4 friends in the VIP camping they loved it that much that they have managed to convince everyone else to get VIP tickets for next year!!

i bloody hope not. was a stupid stupid idea. was gutted not to be in purple. one friend will always let the group down and not get there ticket soon enough. this empty area will happen every year.

Jim said something ( can't remember where ) about FR camping idea for next year

I had VIP tickets - but we had to camp in Front Row cus the security said VIP was too full! Didn't mind though as could go use the toilets and stuff in VIP but were closer to the arena.... and we had plenty room!
