What does a Hospitality/VIP ticket give access to that's different to a general admission ticket?

[clitbang]

Can anyone enlighten me please? 

Thanks in advance.

I think it lets you use the cut through Pyramid to Other and hospitality parking which is close.

[incident]

Access to the Hospitality Campsite near the John Peel Stage, and access to the Interstage area / bar between Pyramid and Other which also doubles as a minor shortcut.

It's not massively exciting - and to be honest if you're that curious about seeing the Interstage area, it's incredibly easy to get in, plenty do so just by accident.

Michael comes round and personally gives you a foot massage. And he’s good at them.

An earlier overdraft.

I wandered into it one year but my friends took so long standing in the entrance humming and hawing about whether they should follow me that I just got fed up and walked back out again.

Yeah we ended up in here by mistake one year (Pyramid/Other) Portakabin toilets and nothing much else.

Gate to the left at the front of the other stage just give a smile and a thumbs up to the steward.

No doubt you’ll be doing it again this year, to get close to Brandon....

He'll be climbing back onto his coffin the second he gets offstage.

Backstage bars at the Park, John Peel, West Holts, Silver Hayes, and others. A big backstage bar and restaurant between Other & Pyramid. Most of the backstage bars there are under shelter, which can be a big advantage. The Park and West Holts also have their own little stages in the back stage areas, too. Slightly nicer loos. One great advantage is that you can cut straight through the middle of the site, rather than walking around. And also there is slightly reduced queuing for Shangri La. 

THere is a hospitality camping area too. From memory, the only advantage being showers with smaller queues.

You get to chat to industry dickhead too-cool-to-see-any-bands types.

Thats about it. Had one of those tickets one year, had a beer beside Kings of Leon and left.

I knew you could get into the Park backstage bar which I quite like didn’t realise about the others

I think you also have access to the workers bar at Shangri La, which can provide a moment of sanity should you need it.

I’d love to give it a go one year. Need to know the right people I suppose!

I've secured my tickets already, very relieved. 

It's where I met my wife and it's also my birthday on the 27th so double celebrations for us.

Where is the entrance for Maceos? Walked into back stage of other areas when I was desperate for a shite just walked in like I owned the place and wasn’t stopped.

I call this kind of walk - "doing a Liam G" for both needing a shite and also looking like you own the place - as well....generally, that's how he walks innit?

It's attached to the NYC Downlow, a small entrance with security stood next to it.
