Soooo.... they don't seem to be allowing people get to the box office from the orange car park side. 2 of our crew have had to join the PGA queue just to get to the otherside and start queuing again at the box office. What a pain in the hole - triple queuing.

Yeah, it’s crazy. The first few stewards told us to skip the line, get our tickets and then join the queue, when we were almost there we were sent back to the end of the line by other stewards. I’m not gonna join this huge line again after getting my tickets, that’s for sure.

Flight out of Dublin was delayed 40 or so mins but luggage was a breeze in Bristol. Well happy.

Heading to the airport now...how's Dublin Airport queue-wise?

Ok thats really stupid. I swear they shouldve maybe moved the box office so a box office queue was split off. Let us know how it is when they do start getting it going!

Absolute shìtshow, managed to pester my way past the q of pga  and into the box office, there's a place for re entry, went through there and straight in

Yesterday afternoon it was grand. I was through security in 10 mins. Some of the Ryanair check-in things are broke. If they give you an error just move to the next. Same with the belt weigh yolks.

Oh, and we had to buy a new pass to get in the parking area (they wouldn’t let us through without one (e-mail didn’t work) and there is no way to get the tickets first), so I’ll have to try and get a refund when this is all over.

Other than that, I’m over the moon that I’m here again! Can’t wait to get in!

Shit. That's worth a slight " things you could do better" email after the fest.

Glad things are moving along without horror stories yet *crossing all fingers and toes*

Cheers! Have a great festival!!

Wonder if its gonna be quicker for anyone thats coming on a coach within the next hour after the unload and walk straight there since gates are open.

How busy is the box office?

[snipe]

Box office queue could be worse.  Just arrived but it's moving. I'm hopefully it'll take less than an hour

 

It's left side of the coach park. Pretty poor signage.

Thank you. The three words is helpful.  Is it a separate queue from where to coaches drop off?  Trying to figure out if I am to just go the regular route after getting off the coach and will eventually end up splitting off to the box office, or if I need to start somewhere complete different?

First you join the queue to PGA, near the end you can get to the gate or join the line from the box office.

It hasn’t moved in the last 10/15 minutes, doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere soon.

I'm coming your way folks. Just have to deal with tractors from demonstrating farmers on the Dutch roads first....

No don't queue in the PGA queue for international. I came through the coach park and there was some barriers setup going through them brings you past the international box office to join the queue for it.

That's the PGA queue to my right and the start of the international on the left. Box office dead center. Coach park behind it

Woop woop, found myself in that photo! But why did they open only two windows?

Awesome, thanks for the visual. Will be a while before we get there but at least now we know where to go.

3 windows open now. End of the queue has changed to another field now. They've got someone managing it now

Looks like it could be a long hot wait!

 

re you in or still queuing to pick up tickets? Any chance you can ask what they are actually going to do after 8pm when the box office will apparently close? 

[snipe]

Got my ticket. Took about an hour 20 for me but think it's a bigger queue now. Sorry didn't see the message to ask about later

I believe a few pages back it was mentioned that people arriving after hours can go to the security office nearby and get their tickets sorted there.  Not exactly sure how that will work….

I’m on the bus from Bristol in an hour or so, and I will try and remember to ask.  

[Suprefan]

This is some bullshit. Called it, sadly. 4 windows for all of us? Sad. They have the stewards coming to fill our water bottles but they couldve had a few See staff checking id's and grabbing tickets so this all gets sorted faster.  Been 40 mins so far, just got by the hospitality shack.

[BackpackFullOfWarmBeer]

3pm update. Box office line was about 20 yards past hospitality shack when we arrived at 3.  Have moved about 15 steps in 15 minutes.  For whatever reason, line has grown significantly in the last 15 minutes or so.

Does not sound like they have a well oiled machine up and running. Why the hell they did not simply post them all out a month ago is beyond be. 🙄

Yep fuck this shit. Just got onto a worthy view shuttle bus. Might not have AC. Boiling sweat bath in here.

 

took almost 2 hours to get tickets and now its 3:45 on the shuttle. 
 

arrived off coach at 12:15. So yeah, 4 hours to do 2 simple things is bullshit.
