Yep theres a camping shop. I'm pretty sure they're ok with day ticket people camping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanothername Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yeah they're gonna scan your ticket and then link that ticket to your wristband. Not sure how much longer it will take to get in but press are being told to arriver earlier this year. (We're allowed entry from 9:30am and have to notify if we're gonna be there after 2pm). This is also the case for all the days so even if you've got a day ticket I'd say get down as soon as you can no matter what day you're turning up.

Rylbld9 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Any idea how much a tent and sleeping bag will cost on the site? Don't currently own either and I'm travelling by train so I'm trying to save the hassle on the journey there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, my mate is asking about drugs. Do they have sniffers there? Never seen them myself but two years I got in early because I worked and the other year we got there late on the Friday so just checking.

No they don't, and the security checks aren't overly thorough, they're only really looking for glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would add that in 2016 their info tent actually displayed a clashfinder that some random had made on Clashfinder.com that had some very wrong times on it, so be careful if you plan to do this.

Yeah that's actually true. Didn't know it was one from clashfinder. I thought it was an old one. Well, Saves The Day on it was also a big give away. Last year they did have an official one so there is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother bought a 2 man tent in 2016 because he realised he'd left the poles for his tent at home (clever I know) and I believe it was £30 if that helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan93 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi guys, I am thinking about getting a last minute ticket to the Saturday, only thing is the festival is not running a shuttle bus that day. Anyone familiar with the festival, is there a normal bus service running to/near the festival site? Or will i have to shell out for a taxi?

Taxi I'm afraid, it's a long way from a routine bus stop as far as I know. Maybe worth asking on Twitter or Facebook whether anyone wants to share a taxi to/from the site?

Thanks man, hmm thats a shame, I'm mainly going for Shikari, who've just announced an upcoming uk tour, so may be worth just waiting to save the price getting out of hand this time.

That Shikari tour is being described as an intimate venues tour, with tickets on sale Friday 9am, while a lot of us will be in the signal hellhole that is 2000 Trees. Last year I had to use the merch tent wifi to buy Ed Sheeran tickets for my daughter, and disappointingly I was successful ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonday81 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 My mate has pulled out last minute. What’s the festival like for someone on their own? I’m gutted as my wife really not keen on the safety of me going alone. I’m gutted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to get around, plenty of space so you won't feel overwhelmed by people, generally a very friendly crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFD Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Agree with that ^ Very friendly and well organised and a complete lack of a-holes, everyone is there for the music and vibe. There are areas like the Forest stage or the chill out area at the back of the main stage area where you can get talking to people if you want, or if you don't want to be bothered people won't hassle you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Punk Sucks Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Vibe is generally great. Apparently a lot of tent theft last year overnight, werent there myself but maybe will be reduced with cash no longer involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonday81 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Nice one thanks! I’ve posted about the possibility of getting a lift on Facebook and Twitter pages as mine has obviously now let me down. Nothing like finding all this out 2 days before the festival!!

justanothername Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I've done solo twice and I've had a great time both of those times. Most people there are for the music and those are not tend to be local teenagers who aren't any trouble at all. Also I have no idea what the weather will be like. Seen reports ranging from saying it's going to be beautiful all weekend to that there are going to be thunderstorms and it will chuck it down on the Friday afternoon. Hope it turns out fine in the end! Edited July 10, 2018 by justanothername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFD Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 That Shikari tour isn't really that 'intimate' anyway - it's basically the Academy circuit they were playing before they attempted to step up to arenas. Extensive tour, lots of dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was worried that there would be a Sheffield date and it'd sell out but given that there are nearly 30 dates on this tour I think it's fair to say it (and most of the dates) wont sell out for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
