I have to agree, we purpoosely left home late, arriving on the holding field at 4pm but were still kept there for two hours, not really acceptable. Plus I've had problems with the new ticket distributers. I asked for camping on the accessible field only to be told that the organisers have now stipulated that they will not accept a blue badge as evidence of a disability, and that they require evidence of PIP or attendance allowance or a letter from a GP stating your disability. This I think is discrimination, I really don't think that a ticket selling agency should have to see evidence from your medical records. A blue badge is not easy to get and I believe should be enough evidence of a persons request for access to the accessible field.
Got a reply from Nick.
He said "Blue badge is fine for parking but not for camping and not been for years. Nothing has changed from the transition to CT as it is the same people doing the same job we are in the process of updating the clarification on line."
I suggest you contact him direct if you want further clarification. nick@newforestfolkfestival.co.uk
A blue badge was accepted by the ticket distributers last year
