I’m in the diamond vip next week, any thoughts, tips etc who went last night?
I’ll take positive’s or negative’s regarding the hotel etc.
Get there early. Gate 17c pit crowd fun. Find your preferred spot and be ready to work to keep it. Bring in sealed water bottles its allowed. Don't leave you spot too long, rail or catwalk and just soak it all in. Crowd was a bit rough where I was but able to hold the ground. Great sound and well done festival. Doing gold circle next time.
What does that mean "early" for you guys? The gate open st 2pm. When the Stones starts? At around 20? 20:30?
Thanks
Was there at 9. Did a number thing for first 50 and I was 23. By 11 there was a decent crowd. Probably by 11 you could get p
retty close to rail.
By 11 am??? Do you mean we are supose to stand there until 20 when the Stones take over the stage since 11 am at least? That is crazy.
I mean the entrance is open at 1 pm? And the other band's start at around 2pm?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but how could we stand in the Park with no sitting area, limited water and toilets amenities?

After watching some recent performances from the Stones on this tour and even from last year, I was not expecting much musically. Maybe being at the gig makes all the difference but I felt that they played extremely well. Not as well as Hyde Park 2013, perhaps not as well as the UK No Filter shows a few years ago (with some exceptions) - but I was definitely very happy to hear the band and especially Keith raising their game.

Don't take me wrong, I know queuing is WORTH being landed bear the stage, but some of us has its limits, I mean how do you manage with food, water toilets access? Is that possible to have your owned bottle of water /suplements? As mentioned above, we acompany elder uncle who definitely deserves to be at the stage, but how to stand fir nearly 12 hours? That is a question...

In the Diamond VIP you won't have problems getting water, food and a walk to the Toilets especially when you're in a group you can easily leave and come back

In the old days you just queued up all day at the stadium gates and then sprinted to the front of the pitch! I used to take a few beers and sit outside the gates all day waiting until they opened. No Gold circle or VIP so only diehard fans got to the front, not just people with money.

People that are busy having conversations aren't there for the music or the artist, they're just there to say they were there. They're fake fans. Like glasses and leather jacket just talking throughout CYMHK.

So, now the dust has settled after HP1, what are us IORRians doing in between both gigs, the upcoming days? Any beers to be shared, any pilgrimages to be undertaken together?
Me, I’m off to Brighton for the afternoon. Having me some ‘Quadrophenia’-time…
