hfuhruhurr Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Not that there are any clashes! (I use it to figure out which bands are "go to the bar time" v. "get to the mosh") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesundayroast Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Just received my tests in the post which is good! When do people think it's best to take the first PCR test? The website suggests 24 hours so about midday on Thursday however I'm a little worried that If I didn't get my result back before arrival I could have to wait outside a while.

You don't need that one for entry. That's just for the goverment/scientists data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to take a lateral flow test on Friday morning and log that online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Same. Happy to party day & night but once I hit the tent, I need to get those few hours sleep to be ready for the next day. Red looks like the only campsite with toilets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I'll be anywhere else but there - I'm also a tent = zzzzz time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetchez Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Just did a practice flow test, did everything correctly and got a negative. Then submitted results online and received the message that I would show at Download to get in... Wait, so if someone did test positive, they could literally be like "Oh well I'll just say I got a negative lol" and receive the same result as what I got legitimately. Sounds so easy to abuse.

Absolutely. It wouldn’t shock me if people did that. I won’t lie, I have considered it if I did test positive (I’ve tested negative today) but I couldn’t do it. Would be too selfish. The PCR tests too, they are sent back right? So we do one before, then one when we’re back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dip Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 But also, the exact same thing would happen if these were the requirements for a ‘normal’ festival so it’s allowing for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yeah that's the part that makes it a test, to see how many positive people would attend in a real life situation and the impact on the other attendees this would have. If someone does go that is positive and it spreads (which is unlikely given the event is all outside) then all the people attending are doing is depriving themselves of festivals/gigs in the long run as that'll make it harder for them to open up.

Galactus Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Met isn't predicting as bad as the BBC. Looks like we'll definitely get some rain but not enough to bother us. If anything it will be quite refreshing from all the moshing 😎 Edited June 16, 2021 by Galactus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMacVeigh Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 So I know Download never allows the entry on alcohol into the arena, but this time feels different. There’s surely no need to have a gate check for the arena like they usually do, so possibly can take your own drink in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
