Chelmsford vs Staffs

[norwichgal]

Hi,

I live closer to the Chelmsford V but for the past 2 years have ended up in Staffs for some reason. Always had a brilliant time and not liking that I don't know what to expect at Chelmsford this year (friends wanted to go to Chelmsford).

Has anyone else been to both? I hear that the stages are further apart so it's harder to see half of one band and half of another as the walking distance is more.

Also, not sure about the campsite thing. At Staffs, there are about 8 different campsites - am I right in thinking that you buy either a Red or Yellow ticket?

Chelmsford tickets always seem to sell out quicker, any tips on how to make sure I get them? Best places to buy etc?

Many Thanks,

Claire

Yeah I've been to both, Stafford feels the bigger arena but you can see across it with Chelmsford all the stages are almost in a line so it feels more split up.

Chelmsford Car Park to campsite hike is much much shorter, especially for Yellow camp.

Atmosphere wise didn't notice too much of a difference
