T in the Park 2013

[a_n_other]

Tips for a TITP first timer please!

Bought tickets for TITP today, and now wondering what to do about getting to and from the event. I'm an old git and taking my daughter (16) for her first big festival experience. My last time at a festival was Reading '88!!

As I'm too old and grown-up for camping I've got a hotel booked for us in Perth. My plan, which is subject to change, is to drive to the site each day, and then head back for the hotel at the end of the night. I know the traffic will be mad, but that's the way it's got to be.

Is this a stupid plan? Will getting into/away from the site be a right bugger?

Alternatively I could do the bus thing. Is this a similarly dense idea? I know the buses get you there nice and efficiently, but do they pick up at the end of the night for those not camping on site?

If I'm totally put these plans than the last resort is to stump up the dosh and posh it out in the Residence luxury camping.

Think getting the car out each night is biggest problem Seadog. If you've booked the hotel already and intend staying, I think the shuttle bus each day and back from Perth is a better option. Environment and all that jazz, but also means you can have a pint of overpriced T if you don't drive

Keep your scotish mitts off our Glastonbury tickets ...There's a reason you have T

Bloc Party tweeted earlier going to end 2013 in a bang with a picture of Latitude lineup, therefore meaning there final gig on 2013? More or less likely?

Never really got Bloc Party. Went to see them a few times and thought they were okay but nothing more than that. Some seem to think they're a pretty special band tho and I wouldn't be overly fussed if they played or not. Never understood the very high up billing they get at Reading either.

Unlikely, already have 2 dates that weekend in Slovakia (Fri) and Serbia (Sat) so can't see them travelling back and doing it on the Sunday.

*edit*

Infact they are in Austria on the Sunday, so deffo no.

[Paul ™]

doesn't rule glasto out though? and we might find out tomorrow if it does

[Red Day]

Why you bringing Glasto into it?

And of course it doesn't rule out Glasto, but the dates they have on the Fri/Sat/Sun of Glasto in France & Luxembourg might

If only there was a TUT ! emoticon

I am really hoping for The Hives, this is still very much a possibility right?

[Gingo]

I'm not a massive Bloc Party fan either really just if they were about it would have been a decent addition but obviously they have been ruled out now so its moot

The Hives are in Spain the friday saturday so unlikely

[Funsty]

They're just tbc for what day they're on at BBK, so they still could play if it's Thursday or Friday.

[Gingo]

Ahh fair enough then, would love to see the Hives there since i'll miss them at DL

Pretty strong booking.

Tyler is hit and miss but still go along and see him. Earl's album is so good too.

Frank Ocean - one of the hottest talents in the world right now. The reaction on the T Facebook when he gets announced? "Who?"

What has this festival become?!?!?!
