Deer lodge

[goldiegrey]

Does anyone have the email saying we have to print off e tickets? It seems to say our official tickets received through post are no longer valid and we should use the printed ones instead? On another point, does anyone have experience of deer lodge? Are the reception staff useful? Been to kc a few times, but never deer lodge!

I got that email too - very confusing! My first time at KC. Does anyone know if there are showers at deer lodge or are they elsewhere??

[goldiegrey]

They are just in next field, emperor field. I am just going to take all my tickets with me! Inc print outs.

The email just means that people can now arrive separately. We were going to have a problem so are delighted

The reception staff were great last year. Really helpful. They sold ice too.

There were showers which could be used by anyone in Deer Lodge or Emperors. Presume it will be the same. However you could see the showers directly through the door of our yurt and at no point last year was the queue short enough to even consider standing in it.

We used the buckets of water thrown at each other method. Cold but then it barely stopped raining so didn't matter.

We've bought the club class tickets this year but will probably just end up doing the cold water thing again

Stayed in Deer Lodge last year and will be this year. It's pricey but great. Staff all really helpful, it's quiet and we must only have been 3 mins walk to our car so can't complain.

We're staying in the Deer Lodge but didn't get that email. Now I'm worried in case we should've got it!

We did use the showers last year, my 13 year old daughter screeched from her cubicle "oh my god this must be what it's like in prison" hilarious

Has anyone seen their e-tickets yet?

We haven't yet which is a pain given we're planning to set off tomorrow?

[BrighterNow]

Apparently they're meant to be arriving today, so fingers crossed...

[goldiegrey]

not yet - i think its a bit late for them to spring this on some folk - who may be already on their travels, no access to printer etc etc etc............  so if you rocked up with your proper postal ticket would they not allow access do you think!? or if we can just show them the eticket on our devices - assuming we all have said device and good enough internet in a field.

Well it did state (on the original email) that the original printed ticket was no longer valid??

However I did speak to ticketline and they assured me that the e-tickets on a phone is sufficient - assuming we can get signal/email access.

We're intending to take the original ticket and all the paperwork as well so as a last resort if we don't get the e-ticket I'll ring ticketline, tell them to sort it and hand my phone over to deer lodge reception :-)

As you say though - bit late in the day to spring this one

Finally got them.....but only after I rang ticketline to ask for them.

Apparently they "had been sent" but sometimes "get lost" so we're resent.

Phew!
