Emperors field ?

[ramragon]

Depends what you want them for, if its to get a good camping spot as opposed to general camping then its probably not essential, the field wasn't stupidly full on the Thursday last year and there were plenty of spots available.

If you wanna go on Thursday to soak up the atmosphere, relax and have a few beers then get em, worth the money for the relaxed start.

If the tent you're taking is big then you may wanna get a Thursday ticket for emperors so you can find a spacious enough spot to put it up on rather than hope to find one on Friday.

its just to get set up and ready, rather than dealing with the mad rush on friday. cheers for the reply

[ramragon]

Its much more relaxed arriving and setting up Thursday, I heard a lot of people saying they struggled to get in quickly last year queuing for hours on Friday morning but I think that was more general camping than emperor's field. The organisers were looking at speeding entry up this year.

The times I've gone I've always booked Thursday tickets because I like a chilled start to the festival rather than rushed panic. 2 years ago the emperors was virtually empty Thursday night but last year is say it was at least half full by Thursday night, seems like a lot of people took the Thursday option. I know its stated that tickets are limited, don't know what they're limited to though !

I managed to get an Emperors ticket, been to kc the last 5 years and decided to go for it this year, do you have any tips or things you only find out from experience?

[ramragon]

Don't think there are any specific tips for the emperors, people aren't crammed in like general camping so you have a bit more space to enjoy. Not sure where the emperors field will be this year but it'll be somewhere different to last year I would guess.

[tpot69]

cheers, that seems like a top tip

[ramragon]

If I'd have know that in 2011 I'd have trashed your tent!

[LOCHLAND5]

I'm of the same opinion as you Mick, think of the fun we cud have had if we'd known him a few years back !

Missed opportunities !

[ramragon]

But that would mean you would of been beaten up big time and would never of gone back to KC ..................

[LOCHLAND5]

Ohh well be right .......... Big feck off to all the hotpot fans out there !

[Comfy Bean]

Not just beaten up but beaten up big time !

To be fair if you camped this year there would be a major list of suspects as to who did the trashing from people you wound up in general, angry hotpot fans , angry scotsmen who you heckled with the krankies and ginger wigs.

Probably be about 20% of the audience in the line up !

[ramragon]

If you burnt the ginger wig last week what was bbq'd last night ? You'll be out of belongings come the end of the year !

[Mr_Grump]

I had almost forgotten about last night.....

If anything last nights game was probably worse. I had to watch it sober as I`m well full of the cold after hampden on Friday. Worst of all I have committed to a trip to Wembley 14/8. Not sure Rooney etc will be overly worried. The way things are going I might get a game.

Some additional Emperors Field tickets have been released....hurry before they're gone!
