Splendid..just bagged an east quiet.

[Dillyblue]

Our party too. East General back in the pot!

[Someoni]

I was thinking about trading in for quiet today but think being in general may be a bit better for quietness from th SE corner with a toddler in the motorhome

East Quiet sold out now, congratulations to those who were quick off the mark and got one!

How do you go about cancelling by the way?

Go to Customer Service and enter the reference number of the ticket you want to cancel.  They'll email you a link to it. Follow the link and at the bottom there's a 'contact us' button where you can choose 'refund' from a drop down menu.  I requested a refund yesterday afternoon; haven't heard back yet but I don't know how long it usually takes

I requested a refund yesterday at about 4 - got a confirmation email this morning at half ten.  Funds returned "to the original source of payment" less the £25 admin fee.

Saw this photo on the FB CV group thought I'd share for the first timers.

 

Not my photo but shows the scale and locations

Now that we have got the east CV pass, I have another potential blocker as the person who booked the pass will not be travelling down with me on the Tuesday but will be arriving on the Thursday.

 

Will I potentially face some pushback getting on as the name on the pass will be different to my admission ticket?

You will be fine, might be an idea to have a photo of their ticket in case they crack down next year. I have never had to show anything other than my campervan pass.

As long as its on display you should just get waved through, I've never seen one get examined before. They just want you in the correct side, and everyone is really happy on your arrival with big waves and smiles. 

 

LOVE the drive into the CV fields

Nice one!!

I have just requested a refund on a Campervan East General ticket, so there will be another one back in the pot soon for anyone still trying.

Anyone know why East Quiet is closer to Gate C and the festival itself than East Regular? Would have thought it would be the other way around if you wanted to be in a quiet area. Also, what does quiet actually mean in this context? Are you having to creep around all day or is it just not a place for partying late into the night?

It was initially called East Family, due to it being closer to Gate C for little ones to have a shorter walk. Bizarrely it was renamed East Quiet. From my experience both Quiet and General are very quiet lately at night (apart from the noise drifting from the festival). People wanting to party do so within the festival, then stagger back up the hill to sleep. 🙂

Great, thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear. I was last in the Campervan filed in 2014 and it looks to have changed a bit since then. Panicking that we'd be creeping around like you're in a library. Don't get me wrong, any partying we'll be doing will be inside the festival itself but will inevitably continue to a lesser extent back at the van, and possibly beforehand as a warm up too. We'll of course be respectful to our neighbours but would rather not waste another £25 admin fee by cancelling this and going for East regular having just bagged an East Quiet and cancelled the B&W Showground.

You will be fine, not a lot has changed other than the fields have been renumbered and E22 has been lost to glamping.

 

There's a get together on the Hill on Tuesday night if you are planning on getting there pre festival. 🙂

Thanks. Yes the plan is to arrive Tuesday morning. We'll have been on the road all of June anyway so will be heading there as it opens up. Is this outside the festival gate C but inside the Campervan Field?

It's in E21, the closest field to Gate C. Spaces in there are reserved for staff, Eavis friends and family and people with Accessible needs. It's also where you will find the Hill of Death. Photos attached, of the campervan fields and the hill from the bottom.

East quiet is actually fairly noisy through the early hours as the prevailing winds send the sounds from the SE corner that way. I find it strangely comforting drifting off to sleep to the serenade of a  demonic fairground!
