mellody Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Ticket info: https://www.instagram.com/p/CtdiyXHKG47/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Seems you have to download the ticketmaster app and open the ticket before going to the festival, so it's saved and you won't need a mobile signal. Which I guess makes sense... with so many people in one place, I could imagine that the mobile connection might not be stable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to find your ticket and open it on your personal account 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Wasn't sure where to mention this so I hope it's appropriate here. This Sunday from 7pm the UK TV channel 'Sky Arts' will be broadcasting the Isle of Wight festival live! (at least I think it's live). The TV schedule goes from 7pm - 12am, in the TV magazine I have it doesn’t mention Mika but it might be worth a watch for anyone not going! For anyone who is going watch out for a camera crew! I hope it does get filmed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it does get filmed! Just to add, 'Sky Arts' doesn't have a free catch up service. Some of it's programs are added to NowTV which you need a paid membership for. I can't record the program myself so I hope someone who's good with TV tech might be able to do it using a smart TV and a hard drive. Of course this all depends if Mika is actually filmed! Still can't find any information that he will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it'll be showing anyone who is on main stage which Mika is However he's at 3:35pm so looks like it'll be after him so he won't be on TV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeccaStardust Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Just so people know the weather forecast for Sunday is rain so be prepared What time is everyone planning to arrive?

I'm still not sure, because there's so many gates and different opening times for different areas, but I suppose the Robbie fans might be queueing early. And I'm not sure how to get from the ferry port to the festival, before the shuttle buses start running at 10am or so. So I might just take one of the first ferries around 7am and see from there how far I get. 😅 Don't like rain, but maybe it's better than being in the burning sun all day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeccaStardust Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Just wanted to give some thoughts/advice having been on the island a few hours Transport (busses) seem good however are delayed esp around Newport and the festival so give yourself more time then you think (idk where you are staying ) There's a specific festival shuttle but but I think general busses are slightly quicker But obviously delayed there are 3 9s next to each other as I type this (just what I overheard local people say regarding shuttle vs regular ) Busses also have a festival specific ticket as an option idk what this is as I've got a whole weekend festival ticket This is probably common knowledge and I'm not needed Edited June 16, 2023 by BeccaStardust 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be shown live, screenshots are not possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be taking the festival bus since I don't think it stops where I'm staying, I'll ethier be getting of at the bus station or one of nearby stops on the the 9 I'll check again to see if I can work out which entrance to get to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2 of the areas open already at 10am, while the main area and the box offices only open at 11. Do we need a box office to exchange our tickets for wristbands?

It also says box office on the map with gate 5. And I asked the guy that is here looking for the traffic: He said that we can get wristbands here as well. I don't know if it's possible to get tickets at the areas that open at 10am. Edited June 18, 2023 by Prisca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
