balance paying

[morph100]

I know I should know this or be able to find out easily but the frenzy has hit after the reminder email received today!

How many balances can you pay off in one transaction to save all those £7.75 transaction fees?

6

Looks like its 6 same as ticket buying, still that's 5 x £7.75 saved by being organised. £38.75 (did the maths)

Ouch! Makes the cv ticket price seem even better value, not having a dig at them, the fewer cars heading to Somerset the better

Does anyone know the price for disabled parking and do you still have to buy one when paying balance?

don't need to head into somerset .. just across it

Can you still pay for parking on arrival - unsure of how many cars we need to take down at the moment - potentially less if a friend can take his work van!

Well yes, across it, we have moved 15 mins further away since last year, now probably 35 mins from the start of the queue.

last year we could have walked to the site in less time than we were stuck on the A37 for.

Where are you getting £7.75 from?

In my email it says £5 booking fee plus £1.50 e-ticket.

I love the festival. LOVE it.

But £45 to park your car. In a field. Flipping nora.

Glad I'm a coach-monkey!

compare it with parking in a city for 5 days though ... split a few ways is not so bad

TBF I haven't dared look at the National Express page yet. It's not cheap though is it.

Don't come back at me with your logical, reasoned, accurate, pertinent and entirely relevant response.

How dare you...?

I've done both SeeCoaches and NE. No, it's not super cheap, but I'd pay a bit more than I have to already just so I don't have to drive home on the Monday! Sunday night last year was my second >24 hour up all-nighter in 3 nights, so I would have been a bloody liability, let alone not in any way legal.

Disabled parking is free as long as you submit a request form into them, had to send photo of blue badge too. Don't know if you are using spring ground - but there is a shuttle minibus service that drops you there.

Does anyone know anything about the ticket cancellation cover mentioned on the email?

At least if you parked in a city centre for that much you wouldn't have to walk far to get to your destination.

Most cars will have 3 people in 4 at a push so your looking at £15 per person.

Ridiculous

unfortunately the local landowners have been upping the amount they have been charging to rent the land that we park on ... so either the festival pays less to its charities or the car parking charges increase .. unfortunate but true ... perhaps try some of the other alternatives that the festival offers .. like cycling .. national express busses .. see tickets busses .. or the train to castle cary and free shuttle to gate A will get you a lot closer and save some walking .. but due to the scale of the site yes some walking will be involved to and from the car parks
