[ramragon]

If anyone wants early bird tickets for 2018 they're available on a 15 month payment scheme now, campervan also available and thursday tickets but not emperors yet.

I'd hurry though

I thought the same then found them, thought maybe it was a good thing that you had to purchase weekend tickets before going through to the live in ticket option page, but nah you can buy without.

[bottonrob]

I've purchased ours (at an eye watering £900+ before emperors!) merely because it says you get an early bird link for the emperors.

for note the adult ticket comes through at £133.95 

[SloopJohnB]

This really is taking the piss!!

[thurlow84]

I cant afford to buy these until next week so will just have to risk missing out on emperors field tickets this year

[Port-a-loo Pete]

£8pm on the direct debit scheme is great though, can't say I'll miss that! I'd quite happily pay £8pm for life and have my ticket delivered before the festival every year !!

[ramragon]

Yeah it's a good option to take if you were gonna go anyway, like you say £8 a month is nothing really

[jamj]

I agree, that's that sorted now then! and I got a live in ticket for the first time just in case there is some farce with emperors, I've never had a problem getting emperors but do read all the complaints each year and think one year that will be me!

[SloopJohnB]

I reckon theyre skint and overspent this year....Expect dross in 2018 haha

Does that include Thursday sir ?

Any rumours on Belinda C that have led you to get your cash down early ?

4 adults & 2 teens Thurs and tickets comes through at £912 but £60 a month is a lot more palatable!  Will sort the emporers when they come on. Haven't sent the lovely Belinda a facebook message for a while actually or hid in her garden tree that has that great view into her bedroom window. 

[ramragon]

It's £11.15 a month with the thursday ticket on. Still not loads. This year's thursday line up gives me hope they're investing in the thursday going forward 

[Lowther Calling]

Got ours!

 

Get first dibs on Emperor's tickets too!

Main reason I've done it. Oddly enough they haven't mentioned this on Facebook at all!

[Smeble]

Well that's our first festival of 2018 booked, never been before, bloody long way from Somerset though.

Maybe it's one of those things as an insider surprise!

There will be hell on when people realise the tickets are already on sale and that the campervan tickets have all been snapped up before anyone realises !

Do you get people people without live in vehicles camping in a pitch?

I know it says 'Only cars towing caravans will be permitted entry' but it doesn't say on the booking page that tents aren't allowed. What's to stop a number of punters walking in with a 7m x 7m tent?

[ramragon]

I've got a feeling they stopped that last year, previous years were rediculous an I old have actually recommended people with big tents getting a campervan ticket rather than emperors. You could park up and pitch up next to the car. Drive out when you wanted cos there were fire breaks either side and everyone set up in logical lines. 

I think more and more people caught on to this so they tried to tighten up last year. 

[LOCHLAND5]

they sent everyone in the camper field an email last year ............ come clean if you are using a tent or a non sleeper vehicle and we will transfer you to emperor now or if you wait until the festival you will not gain access to camper van field and you will be escorted to general camping . apparently alot switched to emperor. 

[ramragon]

Probably the best thing they could have done, 2 or 3 years ago there were loads of big tents in the field,

[Lowther Calling]

Nothing stopping you turning up with a small motorhome van and whacking a massive tent of the side of it?
