Camper Van arriving Friday - are we going to struggle for a spot?

[rudebhoy]

This whole Thursday nonsense has got me really hacked off. We bought tickets months ago, and booked a camper van to pick up early Friday, getting us to the site late morning.

My expectation (which may have been wrong) was that only a minority would pay to get in early on the Thursday and the majority of folk would roll up on Friday. However with this week's announcement, I can see far more people turning up on the Thursday.

I assume we will still get a spot (as we have paid for one), but it will be miles from the arena entrance?

Changing our plans and coming on Thursday is not an option unfortunately, gutted as James are the best band on the bill imo.

Campervan fields are the furthest away from the arena anyway,totally wrong in my opinion as we pay the most,the fields are never full but you may not get a flat bit of land and will have to set up on a incline.

Like it's been said, you'll get a spot fine so it won't be an issue, the plots are spaced with fire lanes between so they'll know how many tickets to sell for the space.

As for the thursday, when we first went in 2010 there was hardly anyone in the fields, but that increased dramatically over the last 3 years as people realised the fields were a lot of fun and a tenner extra wasn't a lot to pay. Last year must have been half full on Thursday as it was rammed and they decided to put entertainment on in chai wallahs and the dance tent to thin the crowds out a bit.

If the campervan fields in the same place it's around a 5 to 10 minute walk into the arena and maybes a few minutes more if your the other side of the field

By all means go closer - you'll be right next to kids on ket corner, sure you'll all love that means we can get further away from em too :-)
