Mad Cool 2018

The queue outside is absolutely insane. Just walked for at least 10mins along the queue to get to the end....

Is the queue running along the back of the main stage the wristband queue or the queue to get in?

To get in, we’ve just walked all the way from the entrance to the back of the festival following a crowd of people without wristbands to find out we were basically there. It’s box office 3 or number 3 on the map if you can get hold of one

Beers are €9 for a mini - which I think is about a litre - so nearly 2 pint

Small one is 3,5€ and it's about 0,25-0,3. 2 pints is 9€. Haven't seen one for 18.

The bars are unorganized as fuck. Just spent the whole Toundra gig queuing, still haven't got the beer. Their system failed somewhere inbetween. They have about 20 taps but they never seem to use more than 4 at the same time. 

[CleetusVanDam]

The bars as you first come in are a joke...huge queue's and the tills have all stopped working! Come in towards the main stage and you'll get served quicker!

 

Mad money for a pint but wine is only €3 a glass!

[The Martini Police]

Mondo/thunder bitch stage is good for getting served quickly. One row compared to 4/5 elsewhere. Have a good one everyone

Jesus finally got in through security and now in another huuuuggge queue for wristbands. Reckon will be 2hrs queuing by time we get in. 

[MichaelR1967]

Just in a taxi over just now, how's the security in regards to getting drink in? Also wristband queues still mental?

[Ian Gunpowder]

Sounds like an utter shambles. I've written off leaving and seeing tame impala. Do uber drop you into a different entrance to avoid queues?

An uber? Let me know if you beat the queues with uber please. 

[Cactusgirl]

My bag was searched thoroughly looking to the bottom.

Wristband queue is probably about an hr I reckon.

[Ian Gunpowder]

Can genuinely see this festival getting cancelled tomorrow. It's just not safe 

[Wooderson]

The festival have made a bags of this.

[DDave]

Sounds like a right shit show. Hope it improves.

Horrendous news as to why Glass Animals cancelled

What's so bad about it? Won't be the same queues tomorrow now everyone has their wristbands surely? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hope you all got the gold circle upgrade.

You’d have thought the €100,000 they’re going to make off everyone buying a fucking plastic cup every day couldve been invested in some more bar staff. 

[neacaisa]

have the things got more stable by now? at least tomorrow there will be no queue for bracelets for the people going 3 days, so it should be better.

To be honest I found the queues once we found where to go to be ‘ok’ but the signs and guidance were none existant. The bar and food queues are the worrying part, they aren’t going to change, there’s just not enough staff I saw people at the corner of the main stage bar shouting at the barman because a member of staff wasn’t covering that area.

It’s a shame really because the layout of the festival is probably one of the best I’ve seen, I don’t regret coming but the queues are ridiculous.

Are you here for any of the other days then?
