Gary T, et al,

For babies I meant like a nursing/change room/house etc... For dog comfort I meant poop bag provided/dumping place convenient etc... For parking, distance is often a factor, shuttles, direction signs, etc... I really like the idea of camping nearby if it's possible, particularly if it's within walking distance. Some festivals are better situated than others, geographically and financially, and that's an unavoidable fact of existance. However, all other things being equal, some festivals get great transferable ideas about how to solve the common difficulties, and it's the patrons who know what works best.

One festival I know has a first come first serve mainstage seating policy which precludes anyone coming much later than when the gates open in the morning. Nonetheless, a later arrival pays the same coin at the gate and may not necessarily get a view of mainstage at all. I'm not sure how to make it better other than to move to/create a larger venue.

Thanks for your ideas.

Peace. Mooh.
