Hi, 

 

May be a stupid question but are the tokens literally tokens or will they come in raffle ticket strips or e cards ? Just trying to work out how easily I'll lose them

 

Cheers.

I love this post. It's like... "I want to gauge just how hard I'll work at losing these things."

Everything about this festival is f'ing delightful to me right now.

You don't automatically get a tent if you bought just hive camping do you? Didn't buy any of the tent packages stupidly, is there a place you can pick one up near Leuven? 

You will have to get a tent. I heard the camping shops in Belgium are very expensive. I'd recommend biting the bullet and getting one soon and take it with you on the journey

Also you can bring as much alcohol you want into the festival can't you, just not into the stages 

Yes You can only bring alcohol into the camping. There is a limit but it's policed differently depending who you go to. Disperse it around your group if you have enough people

And don’t forget that glass bottles aren’t allowed, so buy your beers in cans and pour your booze or wine in plastic bottles.

Are you doing an updated shirt for 2018? That would be popular with us lineup nerds!

I was thinking about it but I wanted to wait until the other one arrived to make sure they were decent quality so it might not arrived in time for next week now! Might have a look later though

That's awesome thanks a lot, have you used them before? Will probably book tomorrow 

[Otto77]

No, never used them. I go by car and always use my own tent.

Hi guys, what is the easiest way to get to rock Werchter from Brussels Charleroi airport? and how long would it take?

You need to take a bus from the station outside the airport to Charleroi Sud train station, then take a train to Brussels Central, then one to Leuven. You can then get the shuttle bus to Rock Werchter. The only part that isn't included in the free train ticket is the first airport bus, you will have to pay for this at the airport. Journey should take a couple of hours.

On this map you can see the Hive and the Hive resort, one on the left of the road and the other on the right.

To add to the Tentenzo posts... I just bought a package with a pop-up tent, sleeping bag, earplugs, a pillow, and some cheap airbed thing for 70 Euros to be picked up at The Hive. 

I probably could have gotten the same junk for about 50 Euros from Amazon or some such, but the convenience of picking them up at the site is worth it, in my opinion! Hope they run smoothly and speak some English.

So do we just show our tickets at the train station or on the train?

Look at the info for trains. You'll have to register your ticket to create a code to enable your free ticket. The links you need are on the site I linked ^

Hi guys,

So like a few folks new to the festival, i've made a rookie error.

As a brit, i'm used to just buying a ticket and not worrying about a separate ticket. Turns out my friends all have hive camping tickets and i don't. So whilst i try franticly to but one online i have a few questions, if any one could be so kind as to fill me in:

I take it the hive camping is completely separate, to general camping, and i wont be able to camp near my friends without a hive camping ticket?

How tight is the security controlling people who enter the hive?

Do people in the hive have a different wristband? So would i be unable to go and hang with them at there tent in the day?

Any tips on getting a hive ticket at this stage?

If i don't get one is general camping a1 best to get?

Sorry for so many questions. Any info to set my mind at rest that i've not ruined my Wertcher experience before i've set foot there would be great thanks.

Hi! The Hive is indeed completely seperate, so you won't be able to camp near your friends without a Hive camping ticket...

Security varies... They tend to open some bags and check for glass, drugs, gas bottles etc but sometimes you can just walk right through. Or do you mean entering without a Hive wristband? That'll be really hard, everybody has to pass through gates where they check your wristband.

Yes, Hive campers have a different wristband than general campers, so you would not be able to hang with your friends nor would you be able to enjoy the CNTRL PRK area after the festival arena closes.

A1 would be best, for its location almost opposite to the festival arena entrance. But isn't that sols out as well?

Good luck my friend, hope you'll be able to grab a Hive ticket somewhere....

Hi guys, might be the wrong place t put this and if so, i apologise!

 

I made an impulse purchase a while back and got a 4 day ticket with hive camping along with coach travel from Birmingham.  I now can't make it and have only just received my ticket today.  As it's a bit niche I'm not sure where I'd be able to resell it, does anyone have any ideas?  Cheers.
