2015 - any help or advice needed ?

[ramragon]

If you're on site by 1pm Friday you won't miss much. Traditionally it's a slow start and the arena generally opens after the official time on day 1 anyways

[chuckles07]

I have the same query .........mrs chuckles has insisted on investing in a ticket for these showers

"Has anyone ever used the Club Class showers? Considering making the effort as we're going for the Th,ursday this year and a half-decent shower would be just the ticket if the weather is close to last year's (which it won't be, obviously), but I've read mixed reviews?"

Any ideas anyone?

I paid for the Club Class upgrade. I've never used them before but a shower each morning and decent toilets sounds good to me.

[ramragon]

I'm sure someone on here would have gone club class but im pretty sure all the regulars haven't user it before. Scruffy buggers the lot of us !

Tramps!

 

Haha, on a sort of related note...we've spotted a couple of Emperor's upgrades going cheap but it says Friday-Saturday. Would we be able to use them along with the Thursday entry ticket, or is a Thursday ticket for the Emperor's Field something else again?

An emperors ticket gets you access for the full weekend wether you go thursday or Friday. I you have a thursday ticket and an emperors tickets that's all you need

Excellent, may well go for that then Cheers!

I got some Emperor's tickets, does that include parking yes? I don't need an Emperor's parking pass too?

showers at festival....

would never happen in my day....

[D_R]

I've already had the requisite slagging for paying for Club Class.

I'm getting old. That's my excuse.

[ramragon]

We're all getting old

Man up haha

You'd imagine with the festival promoting everything green they should be able to accommodate a bicycle.

One thing I would suggest, if your planning to stay off site I'd ask them about a pass out of the festival so you can come and go.

 

Hi Ramragon,

 

Yeah i emailed them a while back and despite initially them saying that no pass outs were available, to which i replied "Well i hope the thousand people who stay off site know that they will have to sleep under a tree at the festival site as they're not getting out once they get in".........they then emailed me back saying that she would put our names on a list. I imagine this list is at the front gate? Who knows, really.

I had a pass out last year. Just went to the box office before entering the site , told them my name and picked them up

Can I ask what may seem a stooopid question? 

 

Other than the cost difference (which is minimal) is there any advantage to buying a car parking ticket in advance? Only I may not be needing one so don't want to buy one in advance just in case!

 

Thanks, Al

Nope - you go through the same entrance, they have just had three lanes you go into, whether you have a ticket or not.

 

Its not quicker/slower or otherwise!

Hey all, I'm new to this site but finding it really useful!

 

Just a question about the shuttle bus stop....I'm arriving in my car on Thursday but my friend's joining me on Friday evening and is coming by train and then the KC shuttle bus; I'm hoping to meet her off the bus as she'll probably have have lots to carry - how far is the drop off point from the entrance?

 

Cheers

[ramragon]

Hello and welcome to the forum, pleased ur finding it useful and if you've got anything to ask then feel free

Drop off points normally next to the campervan field. The enterance is up the hill, probably 10 minutes walk.

[Squirrel Nutkin]

Great - thanks Ramragon!

I'd also be up for the meet up on Thursday evening as I'll be on my tod! Is it 6pm still? Was the meeting (bar) point decided? Sorry if this has already been asked!! :-#

If she's travelling up on the train they did a shuttle run from the bottom of the hill last year in golf cart thingys with folks and their bags free for train users

They'll probably do that again so you might only need to meet her at the enterance gate

[Squirrel Nutkin]

Thanks Thurlow! That would be great if they did the same thing this year too :-)

Kendal Calling sounds like quite a friendly festival....hopefully I might be able to ask folk around me in the campsite to help me put up my tent if I start to get tied up in knots?!?! I'm hoping it won't be a problem but depends how windy it is!@!!

Them wee carts were a god-send! I really wanted a shot of driving one but the guy was having none of it

Was the House Party or that opened late on the Thursday last year? Doesn't seem to be mentioned on any of the posters.
