Review of Crooked House In The Park 2024
Totally disorganised
The Pre pay wristbands were available to purchase online to avoid queing on the day, when arrived only one tent was adding credit to your wristbands aswell as people that hadn't pre paid credit it was so confusing and stressful, the systems kept on crashing. It took hours back and forth to find out where to get the credit out on your wristband as the bars couldn't do this process, this did not prevent queuing as we had to que over an hour for pre paid credit!
Not enough bar staff in VIP tent, the staff were way too slow serving.
I pre paid for drinks credit and the 10% was no where to be seen?
To refund what credit I have left is proving to be quite difficult and confusing, and then reading that people didn't get refunds from last year! ABSOLUTE RIP OFF AND FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN MIS-SOLD
NEVER AGAIN FOR THIS EVENT!

Review of Crooked House In The Park 2024
Festival and music was fantastic. However we paid for VIP and that was a shambles. Toilets blocked immediately and massive queues and not enough staff on the bar so had to go outside VIP to get a drink.
No communication to top your wristband up either. Walked around for ages. Otherwise good festival. But VIP wasn't really worth it.

Review of Crooked House In The Park 2024
We attended last year but unfortunately we felt that this year wasn't as good. Not sure if cutbacks had been made as it felt rather disorganised.
Purchasing the drinks wristbands on line was more complicated. Last year I bought everyone's £75 vouchers in one transaction and printed the vouchers off to scan there. This time, you could only pre-pay one voucher per person, so we could only get £50 each as it wouldn't let us add another £25, even though you didn't get the 10% free on it anyway. So we all had to do our own.
We had our drinks wristbands scanned as soon as we got into the venue by someone with a scanner. Two of us ended up with the other persons credit on our wristbands, which meant we had to go to the bar all of the time for the other person (even though it said you weren't allowed to share wristbands in the T & C's). We didn't realise this is what had happened at first so we wasted almost an hour trying to find someone to help as we thought some credits was totally missing. Someone was eventually very helpful and gave us a free can of c**ktail for the hassle which was nice, but it made the first part of our day quite stressful.
We could only find one top up station which was quite far away from the VIP tent and there was only one lady serving so the queue was huge and took ages to get served. Not good when it's raining! Last year we could top up in the VIP tent which was so much better.
The VIP toilets seemed a bit worse for wear from the start of the day and there seemed less toilets than last year. So again, huge queues which took us away from enjoying the music as a group.
There wasn't enough people serving at the VIP bar so again, more queues. Someone said a lot of staff had decided to leave early which put the other staff under a lot of pressure pressure. They did their best but again, it meant it took us away from the music too much.
So overall the VIP tickets didn't really feel very VIP compared to last year. We came for the Moneypennies tent so we had to pay VIP anyway, but sadly the music wasn't as good as last year as it was a bit harder.
Please bring back 2023 vibes and service so we are not as disappointed next year!

More organised for the wrist band top up after you have already booked your amount .
More toilets and seated area in vip.
I would highly recommend it to my friends. Music tents was great, fab mix of music too, reggae was fab idea.
More food choices I think and security training as some just did not have a clue on anything. After 20 in the security industry myself training is key.
Event was easy access from most places around it. There was a good layout and crowd control was minimal.
Thanks

Review of Crooked House In The Park 2024
The main problem was getting the drinks wristband and top up as the card machines didn't work and also then the Que for drinks and lack of choice , this really let the who thing down , the actual location was fine
