I've got a 3 day weekend ticket, without camping.

If I were to turn up on Friday would I be able to upgrade this to a 3 day camping ticket?

If so, how much would it cost?

Cheers,

Mark

For 2010, when do you plan to release tickets? Also will you do an early bird scheme with ticketline to allow payments to be paid up over 3 months or a deposit scheme similar to your other events?

Also for 2010, do you plan to expand the Friday to a full day or keep it same as this year? And would you consider opening the Thursday if it did go full 3 days?

Finally, What's the latest on the weather for the weekend? Is there any sheltered areas being set up.. apart from in the arena tents?

Hi We have camping tickets but are staying at a different campsite due to the amount of theft last year. My friend has asthma and her spare inhalers and mediation were stolen.

We dont intend in coming and going just in and out once on the saturday and on the sunday?

Will this be okay?

[TheRockNessMonster]

First of all thanks for this opportunity once again Jim, what i would like to ask is would you be able to tell us what of the acts are clashing from the main stage and the clash arena? Is it true The Prodigy & Erol Alkan are clashing?

[Jim King]

My mates wondering are all sunday day tickets sold out?

He's been told by a few people they are.

[Jeebs]

hello jim

i've heard some rumours that stage times on sunday night will be staggered. obviously you've said prodigy and erol alkan don't clash, but do prodigy and placebo clash? what about biffy clyro and soulwax? (i know they most probably do, but i'm living in hope)

cheers.

hi Jim,

Is there a certain amount of beer you can exchange at a time at the beer amnesty? or is the limit?

thanks, Gav

Hi Jim.

I have a VIP camping ticket for the 3 days, is there access to showers? and also is there a quiet/family camping area?

Cheers

[Jim King]

hey jim,

From the pictures it seems that the main stage is the same size as 2007 and not 2008 will it be able to cope with all the lighting etc that will be needed for the prodigy and basement jaxx and other large acts?

cos i know the prodigy now have a much larger show.

thanks,

Hi Jim,

Times times times, will we again have to endure the over priced time laminates that are (lets be honest) a rip off, surely given the price of production and the inevitability of there being changes post print it would make more sense to release this in PDF format via the website?

Cheers.............

Hi Jim is there another couple getting married like us at this years festival ??

[Nigey_bear]

Hi Jim,

Will Soulwax and Biffy be clashing do you know?

[Jim King]

Hey Jim,

I was told that DubFire have pulled out and Fred Falke will be playing, can you verify this?

Also(and i realise board members will be able to answer this probably) whats the deal with Nesstival?

Is it camp site entertainment like DJs and stuff open till the early hours whereas the main area open till the last headlines? How do we know whats going on inside Nesstival will it be mentioned in one of them guide things?

Thanks.

Scott

Oh and everyone if you don't really have anyone to see on Friday go check out my mate DJ Magick (Kyle Grey) who will be playing on the VIP stage.

[Paul ™]

Bestival stage for anyone wanting to compare

[currie_gregor]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for this opportunity!

just wondering what the deal is on taking in food, obv not be allowed like a whole picnic but snacks and stuff, surely we're allowed them??

also I'm 18 and my girlfriends 17 but 18 next month? We'll hardly be drinking cos we're they're to enjoy the music but is there any chance she may be turned away?

Cheers!

Hi Jim, First of all thanks for doing this It's nice to see management that cares about their punters.

Question:

I am working as a steward for oxfam this year and we haven't really heard much about what we will be doing. Any idea what sort of roles we will have as stewards (so I can estimate how to pack )

Looking forward to a great weekend,

Cheers

[Eh Ah Ken]

hi jim.

theres nothing i love more than a good shower. you mentioned before there would be a posh wash.

thanks mate.

Hello Jim

I have purchased 2x 2day weekend camping tickets for the festival this weekend. I have only just realised that this means I will not have acess to the arena on the friday night. I have already contacted my point of purchase and they said it is too late in the day to upgrade through them.

Will it be possible to upgrade these tickets at the box office on site when I arrive on friday? If so how much will it cost? I am aware that a day weekend ticket can be upgraded to camping the same way.

Thank you,

Sean

[Jim King]

I've got a 3 day weekend ticket, without camping.

If I were to turn up on Friday would I be able to upgrade this to a 3 day camping ticket?

If so, how much would it cost?

Cheers,

Mark
