Yes, last night at around 1:15am, when something I read on this forum reminded me they were now on sale.

Ordered at 5.00am somewhere between 1st coffee of the day and clearing snow off the drive (so I can get to work to earn the money to buy the tickets for NEXT year, hows that for forward planning).

Did it before I could talk myself out of it. Besides, for the next couple of weeks, I'm still getting paid, by the time they go on sale properly next year, I'll be unemployed.

Every time I get a two pound coin I put it in my Cropredy fund. Have bought my weekend ticket and am working on hiring Simon Nicol to deliver breakfast to my tent.  ;D [;-)

Splendid idea. What else is Simon prepared to do for a two pound coin?  ;)

- and extremely tangentially The Lollipop Man came to mind, who only charges a penny for his highly dubious service.

Yes, I've booked too, and have hopes of actually making the warm ups.

From the official site:

 
Our pre-Christmas Cropredy tickets go on sale for 14 days starting 1 December.


All tickets purchased before midnight on 14 December will receive a 2.5% discount and will be sent to all UK addresses 1st Class recorded. It is hoped this will speed them to you through the busy postal period in time for Christmas.


The Box Office closes again at midnight on 14 December and will re-open again on 1 March as in previous years. More...

Don't forget the first 2000 orders receive a bonus Cropredy car sticker.

Got mine this morning too. Sent recorded/signed for, but the postman knows me so he signed it himself & put it through the letterbox.

Probably best not to admit that in public.  Its a sacking offence!  

In my neck of the woods they do it all the time (inc Special deliveries...I had one book insured for £1000 signed for by the postman and left by the postbox at my last house....in the rain!  LUCKILY...a neighbour saw it and took it in. You couldn't make it up.  The alternative is to drive (many) miles to the nearest sorting office.).

In other news.  1st class stamps are going up 5p.  Not quite sure how to get this back on topic...ummmm...

Just collected from sorting office, Heart missed a beat when noticing that envelope was partly opened, all present and correct, ticket Nos 127 and 128 are now safely stowed away, can relax now.  :) Merry whatsit everybody.

Ah so that's what my postie tried to deliver. Unfortunately the snow meant I couldn't get down to the sorting office to collect it Saturday. Will ring them tomorrow and see if they can keep hold for a bit longer.

Try to collect asap Bridget, don't think to leave it because of the snow.  Officially, the Royal Mail can only hold a recorded item for 2 weeks before returning to the sender!  Just trying to be helpful!   ;)

I have next week off hoping to collect them then. Failing that I'll get them redirected to my neighrbour. I keep forgetting to bring the slip in to ring them!

We got our camping sticker or at least what i think is the camping sticker, with the tickets.  its has a number on it this year, not sure if this relates to a field number or anything though.

I collected my tickets from work today. I have:
A ticket.
A square window sticker with a big 3 in an orange ellipse and writing including "Thursday-Saturday Camping 2011".
A rectangular "We've already got our tickets ..." window sticker.
A yellow A5 sheet, with the dedicated ticketing hotline in the "Thanks for your order" block.

If you don't have all of the above, I suggest contacting the hot line.

I'm a bit perturbed by the big 3 on the camping sticker. If it is a field number, it is horribly close to the creche.

David's suggestion that the 3 is for 3 days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday night camping) seems likely. I hope so.

Ms Campervanfolk was truly gobsmacked when opening her Present from Santa, "But you cant get them till the spring" she was quick to point out. Aahh but if you are the REAL Santa it opens all kinds of doors I replied,..... thats got her thinking !!  It gives me the huge problem of how to better it next year, I know how Gareth feels now !!. Merry Christmas everyone and a peaceful new year. Mark and Angela

Got mine just before Christmas - complete with car sticker. As previous stickers are on my brother's camper van (which I borrow for Cropredy weekend) I suppose he'll have to have this one as well!
