Parking pass

[Chrisp1986]

Sorry if asked before and guess its hidden in another thread but we are 70% sure we will drive this year but not sure yet. Is there any loss to buying a parking pass later or has it got to be done with balances to just pay one delivery charge?

You can buy them later and pay the delivery charge again or can get them on the gate. Or even buy one now and flog it to someone on here if you don’t need it.

I think they’re supposed to knock the price up a few quid if you buy on the gate, we forgot one year and they never even checked though.

Almost definitely this year if they don’t already due to the lower VAT rate ending at the end of this month

I forgot to buy one in 2017 and ordered one via See about 2 weeks before the festival.  Think the only sting was another booking and postage fee, but the actual pass was the same price.

Thanks everyone. It's 100 quid each on coach and we like to overpack but always hate that trek from car park. Its a toughy

Hang on so 100% you can buy one on the gate at cost price?

Yep, think we paid £50 a car at the gate when we arrived in 2019

Thanks both.

In that case why would anyone every buy one in advance?!

Handy to get it out of the way tbh

its less hassle for everyone to buy in advance, taking money slows down the cars getting off the road.

Is it quick to get one at the gate or does it take a while?

If you have the cash ready, it takes about 5 seconds. Usually at the point when they stop you coming in anyway. We've generally already ordered one (and have again this year), but the odd time have added an extra car so needed to pay on the way in, it's dead simple, but obviously easier for everyone if the sticker is already displayed.
