Hey All,
I'm heading over for Creamfields this year. Just a few questions...
1. Where exactly is it held?
2. I hear it's near Liverpool, is that correct?
3. Where is the closest and most decent place (town) to stay?
4. Based on question 3.. How can you get to Creamfields (bus, train, taxi)?
5. I would assume that the morning after would be a real mess with people trying to get public transport out. Any suggestions?
6. When do tickets go on sale and can I buy them online?
Would appreciate any other comments or ideas too.
Cheers. |

thanx for the info dukes... i've checked all those sites, and 3 of them are selling tickets for cream (not creamfields) on 10 Apr 2004. Ticketbank has "creamfields summer" but no price, so can't buy them yet.
I guess shuttle bus from liverpool is the way to go.
Now, is Liverpool split up into smaller subsections or is it simply Liverpool (need to find accom near Lime St)?
