Novus Dies Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Apparently there is to be rain til saturday evening when it clears up a bit....one heavy patch on the friday I think, looks intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese on toast Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just checked online and it says that Oxegen's capacity is around 80,000, so they've only sold about half the tickets? Does Oxegen usually have a lot of tickets left this late, or does it normally sell out? /curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Even if it does pour with rain, you'll probably be able to pick up a cheap poncho somewhere! I have a Muse poncho to bring with me Plus the wellies. I'm hoping that somebody will post on here on Friday and let us know what the ground is like underfoot, just so we know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm not taking any chances, I'm bringing both my Muse ponchos plus a heavier duty one coz the Muse ones are less than substantial! Not opened them yet but they could possibly be nearly as thin as cling-film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-museing Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Apparently the poor ticket sales rumour are false. MCD have said that most tickets are sold. http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/festivals/money-no-object-as-75000-snap--up-tickets-2248429.html wasn't there a lot of problems at this festival one year? last year maybe? Yes. It's attracted a lot of scumbags and teenagers who are only going to get drunk/stoned in recent years. Hopefully this year will be better.

NicT Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Gonna be fun trying to get the bloody thing on/off then! I think they're one hit wonders! Not great for £4 really. I'm considering actually taking a rain coat if the forecast is REALLY bad. But how much do I really want to carry?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how much do I really want to carry?! I bought a couple of ponchos from Millets before Paris as the forecast was bad (turned out to be hot and sunny most of them!) as they were reduced to £1.50. I'm bringing one of those to Oxegen, it's a horrible green colour but that's irrelevant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suppose your best bet would be to sell it for under face value, if that will still give you sufficient funds to go to Oxegen of course.
