juliadevitt Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Gates open at 11am this year. Are you arriving early? we can’t there until around 2.30pm. We are in the campervan field so can keep an eye on the queues for wristbands without having to go through though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian the worm Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 It’s 26 months since my last festival. Probably 11:01 as wont want to look too keen. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanesque Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 I was thinking about getting there early(ish) too... not because of any rush or scramble for camping (what will be will be on that front), but I need a festival experience again - even if it's just sat reading a book with a cuppa watching it get busy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have him overnight so can drop him off and as it's first day it is 9.30 before going home and loading my car. His mum will collect him after school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Incognito Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Early afternoon I imagine. Never need to rush for EOTR so will hopefully have a nice big breakfast and then head over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliadevitt Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Looks like they are checking vaccination status at entrance (at least for camper van field) so should ease queue at wristband exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipe Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Wonder if they'll check people before getting on the coaches. We're on the 8am out of Bristol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when you’re set around waiting for it to open. First beer, chat with your mates and it’s all ahead of you. Oh god, I can’t wait for this to happen! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario man Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I should be arriving around 4pm, probably a popular time. Sounds like GM arrival is taking a while this afternoon judging by posts on here But I don’t care about queuing, can’t wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doodlesbyben Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Probably around 11am! Got nothing else going on that day and will be waking up in a hotel in Salisbury (midday checkout) so might as well head in early. Get pitched and chill til Monday.

It was just the parking one I only have a email receipt for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario man Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yes I was suggesting it’s the same for all tickets - I had separate receipt email and then ticket email for both festival ticket and car park ticket. You can no doubt contact that address to query either. Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
