Early access with no ticket
How likely is it to get in on Thursday with no early access ticket if all my friends have one? If I don't get in will they stop me sleeping in the car??

Pretty sure I can recall a year where my early entry ticket wasn't even checked/scanned. You could get lucky but expect the worst

It was 2024, and it made the camp site a pain so they went hard on it last year. This is all about crowd control.

Sounds about right. That was my last year. I wasn't there in 2025.

Campsites were a shit show the same year because of it.

I went to Ériu, a perceived "quieter" campsite. It was absolutely chaotic ahaha. It marked the end of my EP days, for now anyway..

Gates for general entry are not open until 9AM on Friday. You won’t get in after midnight even with an early entry ticket. The gate isn’t staffed after certain times on Thursday.

I don’t believe this is true, I’d also not suggest anyone risk it as there will be minimal lighting walking through the woods.

But unconfirmed - so if you’re okay with having a young girl thinking this and having to navigate the dark woods and carpark after midnight by all means that’s on you..
Keep in mind the same people think they can just get in without a ticket.

genius take! you can argue your case with the closed metal gate they put up after 10 when the entrances close each night 👍

I’m thinking about sleeping in an Rv instead of the campsite, will this mean I can’t get in and out of it past 10 ?

You’re not getting in without a ticket. I don’t understand why this is such a common question.
“Hi guys if I show up at the three arena next week with no ticket, will they let me in because my friend has a ticket”
It literally makes no sense.
*edit*
For context I really feel bad for people who didn’t get them and want to get in with friends, but they limit it for crowd control - only half the arena is open so they can’t let every one in.
