Missed out on 3 Night Camping?
If you have a 2 day festival pass and you've missed out on the 3 night camping option you can still buy individual night camping tickets for Dec 30th and New Year's Eve.
Please note that this will not get you into the same area as the 3 night camp and that the facilities in the single night camping areas are more basic (i.e. no showers). Facilities will include:
- A secure area with round the clock security keeping an eye on your gear
- Dedicated toilets for camping crew only
- Fresh water supply
- On-site food
- Somewhere to park your tent
- A camp site close to your car
Also note...
- You need a Coro Gold festival ticket to be able to purchase camping tickets. If you buy your camping ticket at the same time as your festival ticket you only pay one booking fee
- The 3 night option is only available to people who have purchased a 2 night Coro Gold festival ticket or camping/festival combo ticket
- If you only have a single night festival ticket (30th or New Year's Eve) you can only purchase a single night camping ticket for the same night (You can't purchase the 3 night camping option)
- Each camping option (30th, New Year's Eve or 3 night) is located in a separate area, so if you and your friends have different camping tickets you won't be able to camp together
