I have no idea of the process when purchasing a tipi for the festival but would I be right in thinking you don't get an option of where said tipi is located?

Which means if they want to move them elsewhere tough cookies?

They're sold on the website as being "a limited number of Tipis available to hire for Festival-goers, in the Tipi Village near the Stone Circle and adjacent to the Park area of the Festival, offering spectacular views across the whole site from the hills." They can re-arrange the area but they can't really take them out of it (without annoying lots of people).

To be honest the more the festival cause those tedious gits without tickets to appear on social media saying "who?" then the better, it means more of the crowd in here can get tickets in the resale :) 

Amen to that!

There's no shortage of demand for tipis. If they decide to move them they just need to contact everyone who booked one saying they are moving and giving the option of cancelling. It'll be a choice of accepting the move or giving up their sought after salubrious camping spot and going in with the crowds in the cramped camping fields. Pretty sure I know what will happen. Even if people decide to give them up, the festival will have no problem reselling them.

True. Although I'd have thought they'd have known about this new Park area before selling them, and before describing them like that on the website (which remains unchanged), if they were going to move them elsewhere on site.

I saw Caitlin Moran stagger out of it one year which bears this out, but don't the BBC team also stay there?

Get rid of Caitlin Moran and add new stuff, that's a win-win.

That must be the case. Therefore I still would say it is the smaller Tipi field alongside the Park stage they're moving.

Another factor in relocating the main tipi field is that it will take up a decent area of a camping field somewhere. This may be possible if there is a continuing trend for more people to be using off-site areas for camping, or glamping, but otherwise will add to the crush.

They could move it off-site like all the other glamping options.

The appeal of the Tipis is that they are on site, our group was just too big to book one but not big enough for two so went WV instead, otherwise I'd have loved to have gone for the Tipis. Judging by the pic in this thread it looks like the backstage/hospitality tipis that will move.

Still, am loving the speculation, can't beat a change the site layout!

I get that, but they have moved Camp Light because they were talking up valuable prime festival space so I wouldn't rule it out.

The difference being that the festival as I mentioned earlier get a decent chunk of money for the hiring of these teepees but camplight was sold more on a better for the environment basis ? I reckon thats where the hospitality ones  will get relocated to

I never could have anticipated that the most hotly discussed element from the interview would have been the mention of tipi movement.

Think it shows the excitement is getting ramped up when there's big debate over news that in reality affects none of us. Unless everyone here is loaded and I'm the only one slumming it in a tent.

Someone said they liked these random photos popping up and I agree..... So here are my useful photos of the two Tipi areas, in clockwise order, from the Ribbon Tower at 5am Thursday 2016.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
