Isle of Wight 2024

I know it's been asked a ton before, but trying to find definitive info is difficult, what's the deal with getting back to mainland Southampton/Portsmouth late Sunday night/early Monday morning? 

 

Likely gonna do the day ticket, by foot. But just looking to work out my best options, right now it seems only the Red Funnel from East Cowes to Soton is an option and the only avalaibility is 12:30AM. Am I likely to make that? Do they tend to run extra ferry's overnight on the Sunday anyways?

If you're coming over as a foot passenger you're not going to struggle to get home. Will just be a case of joining a queue for a boat. Will be plenty of buses running from the festival site Sunday night and Monday morning.

Line up has been expanded. Nothing mind-blowing for me, but Pretenders, Marr and Feeder are reliable festival performers I'd be happy to catch - hopefully they don't clash with anyone else.
This line-up is mega Radio 2 friendly, and maybe that's the market they're going for so hard to get excited by it being cutting edge or anything. But in that niche they've done very well indeed and this is the best line-up they've had for a few years. I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry guys. This is news to me.... Hadn't seen an announcement. Carry on as you were, ignore me.

Are they not selling day tickets this year? Not seen the opportunity to buy them anywhere.

Yeah they are available now

[TheFellaLondon]

So they are! Brilliant, thanks. Must have missed it somehow. Sunday ticket secured.

[sam47]

Just bought tickets 🎉 anyone ever turned up to camp on the Friday before? Was there still some space to pitch up? I've always turned up on the Thursday but not able to this year..

Being dragged along kicking and screaming to this so was wondering are there any tents where there's a heavier music vibe going on?

Unfortunately not

[Henrik]

Some more acts added...

[Sam217]

86TV’s, Corella, Coach Party, Andrew Cushin, Swim School and The Lilacs all decent additions there. Surprised at the lack of Sunday Big Top acts still

[Nuthugger]

didnt even no they did say tix tbh

Have the T&Cs related to alcohol on-site changed? I was positive there was a section on the site there before about your own alcohol not being allowed past a certain point … but I can’t find any reference to it now - just no glass.

 

If it’s a free-for-all in terms of bringing your own, it could obviously make a huge difference to what many people end up spending across the weekend!

I doubt they’d do that as they’d lose significant revenue.

Anyone ever got on one of the late night ferry’s and is it doable after the headliner? Have a feeling it’ll probably be pushing it.

And yet it’s no longer in their T&Cs, FAQs etc. I’m absolutely certain there was something there before.

As a foot passenger you should be fine.

Well after no luck in the resale it’s looking likely that IOW might be in the cards.  Any tips from anyone?

[W6saint]

Hi, we have two washroom tickets we know longer need. Happy to sell at discount if anyone is interested?

Think there will be any more bigger ones to add?

[sisco]

Think I answered my own question, S Club were moved from Big Top sub on Sunday to Saturday main stage so guess they’ll be replaced by someone a decent ish size.
