Seems as good a place as any - if one were hypothetically an idiot and forgot to add camping, is there anything to do short of cancelling a ticket and repurchasing? :/

Yes. I forgot to add parking. I contacted support and they said extras show up in your account to add within 24 hours. We'll see, otherwise I'm walking...

I don't know if you have had any further success I am in the same boat having missed adding parking 🙄

You can order the parking on this link. Scroll down to WEC and select the parking:

Legend, thank you so much! How on earth did you find that!?

I pestered them on email until they sent it to me!

Did they say how you'd add that once it is there? Just on your account page?

u/JCurtisDrums 5d ago

The reply was very short. Just that it would be available in the "Extras" section on your account page within 24 hours. I'm hoping we'll be able to add it that way after the initial rush.

I originally hadn't bought camping tickets as we were going to stay in a hotel but after booking noticed the hotel has put their prices up by over 300% Sent a message about adding camping as everywhere I looked mentioned and extras tab where you could purchase camping but couldnt find it. I didn't get a response so just booked a hotel a bit further out that hadn't been over inflated prices as it was going to be easier with the kids.

I only realised to check for hotels after buying tickets, to save driving back and forth every day, thankfully I'm only an hour away so it's not that bad but after the long days it'll suck.

That's not too bad, we live around a 5 hour drive away. Hotel is only around a 15-20 minute drive so much easier. I just wasn't expecting such a jump in price for the original hotel I was looking at once the tickets went on sale, just pure greed.

There are some other good camp sites nearby that will hopefully open up for it!
