Disabled Access Enquiry

[karan]

I bought tickets with a group of friends when they went on sale. We have all been looking forward to our third year at V. Unfortunately I fell 6 weeks ago and broke my ankle in 3 places and ended up having operation to insert plates. pins etc and have now got a pot on. I have to go back tomorrow to have my pot taken off but will still need crutches to walk. I am still wanting to attend v festival but would like to know if we will be able to camp on disabled campsite? And use the disabled car park. Altogether there will be 4 of us. Could you please advise me what to do and if this is ok? I have a letter from my doctor explaing i am temporarily disabled.

Could you please get back to me asap please as i am a little worried what i am going to do and have sent 21 emails to 3 other email addresses for v festival (web@vfestival.com help@vfestival.com and contact@vfestival) with no reply. Hope you can help me.

If I were you I would contact the ticket vendor you purchased your tickets from and see if they can't transfer you to disabled tickets. Good luck

PS I'm not sure whether you would be able to take 3 friends with you, they may insist that one carer is enough.

I'm sure i read a post on here saying you could only take one helper per one disabled person ? I'll have a check and see if i can find it .

Thanks folks for your help. I looked at the link rockybox. Now thinking of hiring a van if i cant be with mates on disabled. that will help the carrying of all gear lol. do you know if it costs more to camp on caravan/camper van and if you have to have special tickets? Going to ring round tomorrow for my best options thanks so much. Don`t forget to say hi if you see a couple of pink and purple stripy crutches lol x

yes you need a special camperan ticket for access to the campervan field, you can get these ceap on ebay at the moment, they are normally £70. Bear in mind tho that the arena is is a bit of a walk from the campervan field
