[Mation]

I'm not sure about going next year and certainly can't afford it at the moment, but if you are and can, then tickets go on sale tonight at 7pm

Tickets

 

[Rik]

There's a crew of us going next year. Hoping there's still tickets around January time, as that's when I can afford it.

 

[sim667]

Got mine.

This year was so good, and after me saying "oh i think this'll be my last year, its not as good as its been before"...... I'm now definately going again

 

[Ranbay]

Not sure i can face it again, as awesome as it was, it broke me

 

[ruffneck23]

I'm most likely working there from the Monday - weds on the crew entrance so if you come in that way I may well see you.

[Boycey]

the wheels are turning, might be doing something fun there this year

 

[adidaswoody]

I've never been to one my mates are festival flops and won't go to them anymore as well, should I just grab a ticket, a bag of MDMA and ride it alone?

 

[Boycey]

[adidaswoody]

Who said anything about a tent lol

 

[keybored]

Was anyone else at the Winter Gathering on Saturday? That was an awesome night, I've not been to the festival but I'm pretty tempted to after that. Still recovering though

Thing is, I never go for the bands as they're very much secondary to the overall experience. I like the small bars, crazy happenings and weird themed clubs the best.

I with you on that, but I do like some good acts, that you simply don't get at other festivals..... The reggae line up for example..... and the dance acts that I'd only get to see if I went to festivals with the yoot dem, which aint happening.

 

[pengaleng]

I might come to this

 

[Ranbay]

If you are going in a campervan the GET THE TAXI PASS, that's all I'm saying..... my legs still hurt now from last year.

 

[pengaleng]

safe I gotta earn some money I've been hibernating all winter

I got one, and didn't even manage to get hold of my wristband for it until sunday morning.

I'm glad the madman worked out well for you

 

[wiskey]

I don't think I want to go this year.

I keep thinking about it and keep coming back to the same conclusion.

I don't want to work and I don't think there's enough without a facefull of drugs to keep me occupied as a punter.

 

[pengaleng]

 

[Ranbay]

I'm not going,

A - Getting in with stuff was a fucking nightmare, I hate dogs!
B - The walking and hills.
C - We blew a large amount of money on gear enough for a holiday for two in another country where it's warm and you go by plane.


That being said, if I was to go again, would buy a ticket a week before, last year people where selling them for as low as £50 due to the weather

 

[pengaleng]

ahhhh the weather, I just remembered this country is shit, I'm gonna go abroad, fuck spending money here.

I'm gonna go to monaco.

 

[chainsawjob]

I'm in two minds. It was so good last year I'm wary of it not being so good next time around. It was really good to go somewhere I've not been before, and I've a hankering to do that again this year. And whether to work or not... undecided.

(I liked the hills and the walking, prefer it to a flat site,and yes I was camped up the top, came back wishing I could keep up that level of exercise).

 

[wiskey]

I don't mind the hill except for the 'fuck I've left X at the top and I've just got the bottom' experience which happens a lot!

 

[adidaswoody]

Hard to get what in exactly? I've never had issues getting anything in anywhere else, but I'll only be taking in pills or MDMA, they'll be okay you reckon? I want to sneak in booze as well, is this realistically going to happen?
At global gathering and cream in the past we just filled a 2 litre plastic bottle with vodka and put it in with the tent n that.

 

[wiskey]

They do search, and they do find. And they have many dogs which they run at peak times
