A Few Last Minute Questions! ( Answers much appreciated )

[BlurFan1994]

Just a few quick but important questions so I can decide exactly what I'm doing tomorrow...

1. How important is it to get there on the Wednesday with an early bird ticket? Is getting there on Thursday really as much of a nightmare in regards to camping as people make out?

2. Do Seetickets do early bird coach packages this year? I am VERY confused

3. I am sketching a lotttttt about whether to chase after coach package tomorrow or just buy a early bird weekend ticket and then sort out getting there after that through National Express or something - which would be better?

1. The Early Bird gives you complete peace of mind. You can camp pretty much anywhere you want and not have to worry about spaces for your friends(if you take their tents). That said, if you turn up on Thursday morning you'll be fine - just be aware that it fills up very quickly as the day goes on. The Wednesday night is really good fun though cause you can meet other people that you'll be camping with, find where everything is when it's not busy (especially important if you've not been before) and also soak up the atmosphere a little. For me, I'd never go without an early bird as the pros outweigh the cons.

2. Yes they do, you can find a link here. Note that they go on sale 15 minutes later, not sure why.

3. I can't answer that as I always get the train.

I've been on the Thursday the past two years, and its not been that bad. The first year we ended up in brown which was a long way from the arena but last year we got a nice spot on blue on the Thursday

I think i might get early bird this year just to prolong the experience.

If you're able to make it on the Wednesday then definately go then. It's just another day to hang out with your mates and have a drink and a laugh.

Seetickets should do coach tickets.

The National Express I guess is... easier, don't have to piss about with trains and that. Ideally a friend who drives would be best. Work out what works best for you in regards to cost and effort.

And most importantly make sure you're online here at 6:15 with your game face on ready to get ya ticket.

We have gone on the Thursday every year for the last 10 years. No problems at all. We have a group of about 20 people, a lot of them have their own tents and there is always enough room.

I've gone on Wednesday the past three years and find that going on the Thursday reduces a bit of stress of being able to camp where I want to (and making sure our mates can camp in the same area). It also means that when I inevitably go all out on the first night that I actually have a day to chill and relax without missing or feeling shit for any bands (a mistake that I made in 2006).

If theres quite a lot of you, and you want to set up a nice camping sortof space, then id say the Wednesday is kind of important.

If your enot too fussed though, you can usually find enough to cram a couple of tents almost anywhere, if you get there early on the Thursday.
