LloydForever Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi guys. Hoping someone can help a first timer! We've had our flight changed tomorrow last minute so won't be getting to Brussels til about half 8pm 2 questions. What time does the shuttle bus from leuven to the hive run until And does the hive ticket guarantee a space in the hive? Like im guessing it will already be quite full by the time we get there at 10ish? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you're talking about today times? Because we always arrive on Thursday in the hive around noon and always have a spot (a bit further up the campsite, but so be it) Edit: I see your flight is tomorrow. But a Hive ticket does guarantee you a space in the Hive. Might be a bit more of a search though. The organisation does have people pointing you in the right direction of free lots, but I don't know until what time they operate...

lagerlout Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Looking at the weather can't help wondering if I really need to bring a waterproof. If I don't it'll rain I'm sure, but it looks warm enough that you'll dry off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't it'll rain I'm sure, but it looks warm enough that you'll dry off! Same. I've only packed shorts and t-shirts, and probably won't need the sleeping bag! Getting excited now. Based on earlier comments, it seems like the campsites and The Hive Resort in particular are quite tame. But I assume its fine for your group to bring out the camping chairs and sit around drinking in a circle with your group as per any other festival? All for respecting fellow camper's wishes to keep the noise down but also want to be able to get a good buzz going before and after heading into the festival site.

Chaarlie Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Does anyone know if the food tokens can be used to purchase the merch? Thinking I may have gone overboard on how many I bought and might have quite a few left over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nysmaw Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Hi! do you know if there are any local food stores around / in the town of Werchter itself? I'm camping in A1 and just heard you even have to pay to use a toilet. Is that right? Do you need food tickets for that? Cheers!

By foot good for the 1st day as it is almost 6km to and from Haacht. Not for every day unless you have super powers. You can't pay with RW vouchers on camping A1.

SamF97 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi all, mega excited for the weekend now! I'm flying out tomorrow morning to Brussels (we get there at 8am). Does anyone know whether its easier to just jump in a taxi at the airport and go straight to the hive camping rather then using the bus / train? If so, does anyone know what the usual fares are for that sort of journey? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond24 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hope you all have a better journey than I'm having. Realised I didn't have my passport for the Eurostar as I was nearing london! Gotta go home and find it and have to pay 180 quid for a new Eurostar. Hopefully I can get to leuven by the last shuttle at 10pm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagerlout Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 In London now, getting the 15:05 I think. Hopefully grab some drinks in leuven before getting the shuttle bus. Is it drinks vouchers in the hive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
