They ended up emailing etickets to a lot of folk last year, including myself.

They better not pull that shit with me, no smartphone or printer.

My E-ticket arrived this morning

[robskyd]

Mine too

 

And a map...I love a map!

 

Its our first visit to Festival No.6 and I hadn't realised there were so many different types of bars and eateries there. 

 

I'll need to order those elasticated pants I've been promising myself ) 

[Amy Lawn]

Tickets are here. As a first timer, I'm a big fan of this map.

[dirty_dog]

the food is always top notch, usually some decent real ales as well.

 

if the weather is right this is the best Festival in the UK

[Squonk]

Do the standard bars serve cider or is it just this old mout kiwi cider rubbish mentioned on the map?

[dirty_dog]

all sold out, gonna be a lot different this year with the extra numbers

[steviewevie]

Going to be cold. Brrrr.

[dirty_dog]

Going to be cold. Brrrr.

shouldn't be any rain though, just an extra layer needed and maybe a onesie for bedtime

Hi guys. My ex (also of this parish) is currently trying to sell her Thursday entry Number 6 ticket for face-value. Feel free to contact me for details if interested!

Not forecast to be totally dry anymore. Not sure what footwear to take....does it easily turn muddy?

it takes a lot of rain for it to get muddy and even then it's in at the main stage as everywhere else is concrete.

camping field stays fine even with plenty of rain.

 

decent walking boots would cover all I reckon

just the rubbish - last year they had some rubbish they stuck a lime in!

[dirty_dog]

take your own if you want good stuff, you'll get the odd can or 2 past the stewards.

 

very little rain showing here http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/portmeirion

No decent cider,bummer,don't they know cider + festival is essential.

Heading down on the Thursday for this. And looking for some advice from anyone who's been before...

 

 

Looking forward to it but slightly concerned about the limits on alcohol, which seem tiny for a four day festival! How strict are they on this? Are they likely to search bags thoroughly? What is the best way to get by this?

 

Also how strict is the security regarding drugs. Not that I would be brining anything, just purely out of interest. Are there sniffer dogs? Do they conduct strip searches?

[dirty_dog]

They do random bag checks so you need to be ahead of the game with drugs,

I reckon you could get away with more booze but not if you take the piss.

[stooldu]

So sniffer dogs? You don't think sticking anything down your balls is enough?

[steviewevie]

Stick it up your bum.

 

How much is a pint? They have decent beers?

[steviewevie]

Are drugs freely available on site, in case I have a headache?

[steviewevie]

Shame they can't delay the festival 3 or 4 days...weather would be really nice.

no not really
