GET READY FOR THE VIP TREATMENT AT ROCKNESS

This years RockNess festival is the biggest ever and for those that want to do it in style, we have announced some of the new bonuses that come with our VIP Ticket this year. This years VIP ticket provide huge value, enhancing your experience by adding those little touches that make a great weekend, even better. New to this year’s package are secure lockers and Powered Vanity Areas in the VIP camping for all your make up and hair needs – charge and power your hair strengtheners, curlers and dryers - while the Backstage VIP Area will now feature complimentary massages and mobile phone power stations.

These new features are on top of the luxuries already included in the VIP ticket including designated camping area with full flush toilets and hot showers and Front Row Camping – the coolest place to pitch your tent, offering the quickest way to get front of stage to see your favourite artist. Plus VIP’s get their own arena next to the main stage with a fully stocked bar, food and quality bathroom facilities so there are no queues for booze!

Does "Backstage VIP Area will now feature complimentary massages and mobile phone power stations." refer to artists??

[gordong]

Wait, does that mean front row camping will have flushing toilets etc?

Was an unexpected problem on their part. Some prick did that when he/she rammed a tshirt down a pipe and seemingly wasn't easy to repair quickly.

It would'nt be my cup of tea, I prefer my rightful place among all the commoners, having a proper camping weekend and getting down and dirty as you do at festivals.

That said, some people just can't be without cleanliness, showers and home comforts for that long. Bit soft if you ask me but each to their own, thats what festies are all about and if people are willing to pay V.I.P, then they must be "treated" as such.

Besides who in their right mind would want a nice refreshing massage and shower, when you could be in tatters, on a major comedown and treat yourself to a nice cold can of Strongbow for brekkie

Nice to see the real festie goers out in force again haha, I'm camping vip this year again and probably won't be using any of the new features but nice to see that that there is a wee bit extra.

What has annoyed me is the fact that when i asked Jim what more we could expect from vip this year due to the increase in price he told me that he thought the price was competitive with other festivals and nothing extra would be added. Is it just me or does anyone else find Jim's answers in the q&a thread to be extremely vague if they are answered at all? I know its a good idea and some people have had answers from him, but most get brushed around, ignored or he'll find out and get back to them. Q&A thread - waste of time!

I agree with most of the comments on this thread about VIP but have to say there seem to be a lot of people getting excited about "front row camping" this year which is an even bigger gimmick than the VIP!
