If you don't already have a campervan ticket then you're out of luck as they are sold out.

Loads of festivals don’t sell out these days. Even transmit still has tickets available this weekend, doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen again next year.

With the price to get in, enough to make it worthwhile

Well you'll be sure of lots of trade with the fabbers coming back for repeat purchases!

Wonders what you'll be selling and whether there will be any upside-down pineapples...

Great festival in the past, I haven't been since 2017 when KT Tunstall was one of the top acts. Was brilliant... Maybe I should attempt it again this year!

Belladrum in two days, heading there Wednesday to set up. After all the traders having to go cash only last year, this year they have upgraded the WiFi to cope

Along with it's own mobile cell hopefully we will all be able to arrange to meet. Bring a brolly for Saturday

Sadly not, have three other weekends of stuff planned in August so just couldn't manage Bella. Which is a shame since it looks like there could be an opportunity for a Fab meet!

Yup definitely problems getting in and out this year! Seemed to be a lot more cars than usual! Everything else seemed fine though.

Hoping today won’t have the same problems, I’m arriving about lunchtime.

Sounds like yesterday was a rerun of 2015 when they first put a line up on the Thursday night.

I enjoyed it but a lot of teething problems with the new set up. I am all for making it bigger but got to be sensible and actually be able to manage the capacity.

The hot house main stage bar was a disaster when people were moving away from stage after acts were finishing, so much congestion and then people started arguing with each other. I definitely prefer the hot house as the main stage though, the crowd looks spectacular when it's busy! I'd say maybe bring in a ban on seats past a certain point though, people were literally setting up seats and blankets about 10 metres from the front of the stage and causing more congestion.

The Bella Bar area perhaps needed a bit more of atmosphere, it felt very dark and not very well set up compared to previous years with the hay bales or the pyramid.

Didn't feel like there were enough toilets, seemed to be constant queues for them.

I think the Belladrum of old is dead and buried and it's now gonna be all about making it bigger and more profitable for the company in charge of it.

Heard it was good although couple of violent incidents which is a shame and hope it does not spoil the family friendly reputation
