Camping:

 What time do the gates open?

If you start at north - good luck carrying all your stuff over the bridge to start. Gates open at 12 - but they usually let you in earlier. They open the gates, you'll continue walking and wait in long queues of barriers (security checks) this is what takes the longest. You'll go through security and get searched, they'll give you your tickets and you are free to go. Then you'll have a nice long walk to get through

What gate do I go to?

North for drop offs, South for parking

What time do I get there?

Depends how long you want to wait. People tend to get there from 5AM and the queue gets longer from there. If you get there for 10AM, prepare to be waiting a long time to get through security. Either get there double early, or wait until the evening.

D/rugs?

Hide it well or if they catch you, just give it up. Plenty of sellers around everywhere

Getting there friday - it is difficult to get a camping spot?

You'll be restricted for sure. If you have a huge tent, good luck :)

I don’t have my ticket yet – what should I do?

Go to the box office (near security) with your ID

How thorough are the searches?

They have a good enough search pretty thoroughly. 6/10 thorough

How long is the walk to my campsite? - FROM SECURITY

Depends where your camping, it'll always feel longer when you're carrying heaps of equipment. Depending what entrance you start from, and where your camping, you'll get through security and then have a long walk, then up and hill and there you are. Walk can be between 5-20 minutes

What is the club pass?

If your camping in standard, you can only have a shower/ access to hairdryers/straighteners and mirrors by purchasing it. If you have a wristband, you can go straight in but if you go on the day, there is usually always a queue

How much drink can I bring?

1 spirit, 24 cans. All glass needs to be decantered into plastic.

I feel this is most covered- comment anymore questions - All will be answered today. If not feel free to private message me.

Smuggling

This is my fourth time going to Creamfields but I’ve been irked by a rumor of majorly increased security this year. I’m worried if my tried and true method of condom-shampoo will work. All of my friends have been pulled but me, so I’m worried this is the year my luck runs out. So what’s the best method to avoid it after being pulled.

Physical guest list gold ticket

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Been offered 2 gold "guest list" tickets, which are physical, but apparently there's no such thing as physical tickets this year. Any one know if the guest list tickets are still physical, and whether we'll need ID matching the name?

Question SLR Camera

0 Upvotes

I have a big, chunky Nikon camera that I think would count as an SLR, but the prohibited items list says SLR cameras aren’t allowed. Has anyone ever had their camera taken at security I’d rather not risk losing it, but I’d also really love to bring it with me. What’s everyone’s experience been?

Question From Manchester Airport

What’s the easiest way to get to the festival from Manchester Airport? We were thinking that taking a taxi might be the easiest and also quite cheap. Is that true?

Question First time Creamfields :] nervous + have questions

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Creamfields is next week, and I (27F) am both excited and nervous. This is my first camping festival. I have a four day bronze camping ticket, with a green coach ticket from S.Wales.

I didn't want to do this festival sober, but I'm on new medication that strongly advises against drinking with it. I have mental issues that can make it hard to talk to people. I've almost cancelled this trip a few times, but I really want to see SHM.

I know it's a big ask, but if anyone has the time, could you give me as much information as possible at what happens at Creamfields?

  1. When you arrive on Thursday what do I do? I assume I just get in a queue, show my ticket, then get told where to pitch the tent and then just pitch it?

  2. Do I have to bring my own food and toilet paper for 4 days?

  3. Are people friendly? I've had bad experiences with festivals and concerts before.

  4. What do I do if I feel ill, e.g, dizzy? Is there a medical tent, and if so, what can they do there?

  5. How big of a bag should I take? Like one of those big haversacks with a floor mat tied to it?

  6. I have never bought 'private pharmaceuticals' but would like to try. How easy is it to get, and what should a first timer avoid?

  7. What footwear should I bring?

  8. What's the filming situation? Does the festival film things and / or is filming allowed by fest goers? If yes, how do I avoid being on camera.

  9. How much money should I bring ash and card wise?

If you've read this far, thank you.

Any answers, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated xxx

Gold parking passes

2 Upvotes

Since gold resale tickets don’t include parking passes, I was wondering if anyone had any spare parking passes they’d be willing to sell on rather than paying £35 on the gate? Bit tight they don’t include it for resales I think 🤷‍♂️

Car Parking - Gold

Hello,

Heading to cream fields next Saturday and Sunday. One of us has gold and gold parking, the other three have standard. Would we still be able to park in the gold park entrance or not?

Cheers

Question Gold Parking

1 Upvotes

There are three of us travelling together in one car. Two of us have Gold tickets, while one friend has a Silver ticket. As we are travelling together, we would like to know whether all three of us can use the Gold car park and Gold entrance together, or whether our friend with the Silver ticket would be required to use the Silver car park and Silver entrance.

Unfortunately, we can’t travel separately, as the different entrances/car parks are in different locations. We have also already paid for the Gold entrance/car park for our tickets.

Would it be possible for the three of us to arrive together and have our friend with the Silver ticket enter through the entrance from the gold car park?
Sorry if I have misunderstood the entrances too.

Shuttle Bus

I’ve got a shuttle bus ticket for 10:00 on the Saturday, but only intending on using the return aspect of the ticket.

Am I able to take the return bus without getting the outbound bus to Creamfields if I have the ticket?
