Please don't hold me accountable if it turns out to be true lol, but honestly i don't think you'll have a problem. 7 hours waiting simply isnt true, I'd say 2 hours is more like it! hats about how long it took us to get in last year, hoping its the same this year, bear in mind tho we didnt camp, only day ticket. We travelled up from Coventry, left about 10am and got through gates to arena around 3pm good luck!!

Is this true...

Anyway, hi all! I read these forums everyday but have posted, so thought i'd pop online and say hi..

So this is my first creamfields, am so pumped...I can't wait...

We are camping but are driving up from London, we were going to aim to get there at 9ish, is this going to be to late?

I don't camp but the worst I heard was 2-3 hours queue. Can't see it being 7 hours!!

[Delboy71]

Glasgow. Theres a few buses heading down from the bus station. think theres buses maybe going from george sqaure but dunno what time at

[DeejayDawn]

I've got a couple of hour drive over from the East coast.

[festylover]

That's a long journey by bus but could be fun!! I've got a couple of hour drive over from the East coast. Get checked into my nice comfortable hotel room and then let the madness begin!!

[Delboy71]

What time you setting off Sat morning?

[CeeCeeLuvsDancing]

It took us about 1 hour to get in the car park last year!

[Nemo76]

Ha ha...we are aiming for arriving at 9am!! Leaving at about 5am! Travelling up by car!!!

I shall be catching up on sleep while hubby drives.....good hubby! :-)

Am hoping it's not too long to get in...

Is it true you can only go once from your car into the campsite? also can you go back and forth from the campsite to the arena?

What's the sketch with getting into the campsite if you're getting dropped off by bus? Do you still need to queue to get into the car park? We're travelling down from Glasgow but not leaving til 7 so it's likely to be 12 by the time we get there. Any ideas?

[nico151]

I would have thought that there would be a bus drop off point and you would walk into the campsite from there. Is the bus staying there all weekend? If so there will be a separate bus parking area. Don't know any of this for sure but would sound sensible to me!!

[Delboy71]

Yeah that's what i was hoping. The bus isn't staying so hopefully we can just get off and walk straight in. What do you think the campsite will be like by that point, are we going to struggle to find a spot? Hoping to find a space for 5 tents together.

[clubber123]

Does anyone know how far it is from the car park into the campsite? Gonna be a nightmare carrying all my stuff in if it's really far!!
