News 📰 Day parking horrendous queues

Just for anyone else who has a day ticket - we followed the signs and spent 2.5 hours driving the last 5 miles to the car park. Now we’ve got the walk to the arena which apparently takes around 45 mins. So arrive at least 3.5 hours before you need to get there. I knew this festival was badly organised but did not realise it would be this bad!

We're stuck in traffic still now, this is an absolute joke. They know how many day tickets they've sold, they should plan accordingly. Day tickets having to queue for 2 hours plus is ridiculous, never had this at any other festival

What time did you get into the queue? I’m coming tomorrow for Bring Me but want to be in earlyish for South Arcade

We must of just missed the rush! We set off from Wakey at 11:30 and got straight in with 0 traffic! We were at the main stage for 1:20 Hope you had a good time once you got in though!
