T in the Park - Residence

[smay88]

Hi,

I'm looking for opinions on the Residence packages available for T in the Park.

Next year will be my 7th TITP, after last years downpour I thought I'd treat myself to one of the Residence packages for T20.

I can't seem to find much reviews on the packages however, and annoyingly prices for 2013 haven't been released yet!

Any information from previous Residence campers would be amazing!

I think the prices for this ticket sale are the same as last year, they may go up in February but dont know for sure

[smay88]

Hmm. Problem is the Residence website has no prices listed at all. I did look earlier in the year but I've totally forgotten! Typical!

[Gingo]

Yeah i've tried to have a look about for the prices but there seems to be absolutely nothing, the best I could find was a 2011 list for a few of the various accommodation but nothing from last year at all

Maybe it's not happening this year a la Soni

I've been the last 2 years Residence. Fire away with any questions & I'll do my best to answer them.

I'll add just now though, this years Residence in the new location was far superior to the previous years.

Just a quick, and very ignorant question, but what is TITP residence?

(Sorry for the question but can't seem to find anything about it online)

Pretty much TITP's version of VIP with pre-made tents/hotel rooms that set you back the entire budget

Podpads are pretty cramped, I'm 5 10 and thought they were a bit of a nightmare. Stayed in Hotel Belle Tent last year & going for the Belle by Yurtel this year cos it has electricity. To be honest though if its a decent year weather wise then the size wouldn't really matter so much but wouldn't bank on that.

Sorry to wade in here folks , but was hoping to get a bit more info myself .

My girlfriend and I attended a couple years back , we were lucky sods and won a Tipi residence package .

Having never been before , it was an experience all in itself, but the weather had taken a couple of bad turns and suffering from some health issues I told myself when we went again we would have to go for the residence . However I found the location , which seemed to be about as far away as humanly possible , about the only problem .

Got some early bird Suite hut tickets this year , now our daughter is a bit bigger ( she turned 1 a week ago today ) and was funnily enough conceived there ( wonder if they will use that as ad advertisement ? : / ) although I'm considering selling them as the thought of all that wandering could play havoc on my health .

So long winded story short , Captain , how was the location last year ?

Cheers for the patience

Chad

Practice wandering before you go and you'll be fine.

Location last year was a bit closer. If they put the Suite Huts where I think they will you are as close to the Arena entrance as you can get, looking at a 8-9 minute walk to the Main if they keep everything the same.
