Welcome!

Travel time all depends on whether you want a nice relaxed afternoon in the campsite before the arena opens, i believe the campsites open around 12 (i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong), but the arena itself doesn't open until 4pm, so the earlier you are there the more time you have for getting set up and working out where everything is in the campsite (toilets, water, food places, lights, security etc) and a relaxing few beverages with your new campsite friends before heading into the arena.

The later in the afternoon you plan on going remember to add up to an hour on to your expected travel time as the road to the festival itself can slow down to a crawl. So that is one advantage to an earlier start, less waiting in queues.

We've always arrived between 12 and 1 (mostly due to the happy bus arrival times), more choice for setting up, the later you get there the less spots available.

Yeah take a printout with you when you go to the pickup point, They then give you a wristband for the return journey, keep it somewhere very safe so its not wrecked by the Monday, sounds obvious i know but I saw loads of people just putting it on there and then, be very surprised if all of them still had them by Monday.
