Quick question, as I am sure someone on here has taken their Bongo to the Reading Festival.

I have trawled their tickets / terms and conditions and can't find what I am looking for. Can anyone tell me whether I need to get a Campervan Weekend Pass and a Festival Weekend Pass or does the former include the latter. I have never been to a festival before (and probably won't go to another one either!!!)

You need your normal weekend ticket PLUS camper van ticket
Been 25 years since I've been to reading

You should be able to tell by the price

Campervan usually cost a bit extra in some cases a lot extra, just paid £60.00 for a camper at one festival in 2017 !

I found you this:

Ouch ! £90.00 on the gate.

The demand for camper van passes increases each year at festivals as people get fed up with tents and want to sleep in comfort. Every year the camper van area gets larger and the ticket prices increase. The campervan tickets normally sell out first. I haven't been to Reading for a long time either but normally you need a weekend camping pass plus a campervan pass.

The ad does say campers need the weekend pass for each occupant, so an expensive weekend.
Looking through their gallery I have to say I didnt recognize any of the musicians apart from Heston Bloomingfields on the drums and a couple of comedians.
Stuck in an Ozzie Osbourne time loop I am afraid. :oops:
