![]() For those of you considering coming over from UK so that you have the full picture......
The festival is on the Saturday. This year they had some events on the Friday night (cover bands, movies) and the museum and merch stands were open. HOWEVER the Friday night was for the people who were camping and not open to people with Saturday tickets only. So if you are planning on coming over and want to do the whole thing including Friday night you will need to rent some camping gear or an RV and buy a camping pass in addition to the festival ticket.

![]() Ok, by reading the information FAQ's, it seems that no walk in camping is available.. - so does that mean you can't pay for camping on the day or can't camp without a car... sounds a stupid question but it doesn't mention what I'm on about.

![]() You have to rent a space, so I think they mean, just walking in but I don't know. Specific questions might be answered when they start selling tickets/camping spots.

How much was a camping ticket anyway? (assuming the actual ticket is $100 and fees)

![]() If you have 6 people in the camping spot it waaaaaay cheaper than a hotel plus you get to do the stuff on the Friday night.

![]() I'd probably have to go in with a group as none of my mates would be interested I don't think, so hotel might be cheaper. But that is a good point about the Friday.

I'm planning meticulously for both this and a Canadian 'road trip' potentially the month earlier. On another note, the normal camping pass was $170 + fees this year so if I can find even 3 others it makes it worthwhile. I really should be this meticulous with the trip I'm trying to organise to visit my brother in Shanghai ![]()

![]() Early bird tickets on sale.
They also have Tent only camping, which is slightly cheaper (for 4 people) costing $200 with fees. Also they've added a Friday night ticket where you can enter the arena area for $30 (plus fees). Check your emails if you registered for updates!

I'm thinking they might release another album next year ( but don't quote me on it). That will obviously mean time out in the studio, before embarking on any more dates. I'm seriously hoping they do Reading / Leeds next year.. |
