Samois 2014 - Can somebody please explain it to me.

Hello all.


I am hoping to go to 2014s samois festival and have never been before. I cant find a thread on people going this year, (is there one?) i'm a bit lost on the new forum!

i'm going with my girlfriend who doesnt quite like the idea of turning up with a tent and the possibility of nowhere to stay/shower/use toilets so i need to clear a few things up.

Could somebody help explain the following -

Camping - Is there a designated site?
- Do you pay separately? and if so how much?
- Can you just arrive and put up your tent? (any danger of it being full?)

As for tickets - do people just buy them once in samois? (again any danger of selling out?)
- Can you pay for tickets/camping on a bank card? or is it all cash?


I realise I have left this quite late (I was banking on it being next month for some reason)

Any help would be greatly appreciated (and the sooner the better!)

Regards

Ed

    HI Ed

    there are two sites, the municipal site at Samoreau and a private one at le Petite Barbeau. These are not included in festival tickets and they will fill up quickly. From my experience of Samois you will not find it easy to simply turn up to either site and get a space, so contact them both asap/

    If you do a search in Djangobooks there should be lots of info on this. Also head for for facebook and look for Samois going Djangofiles

    Good luck with your trip and I hope you get sorted

    Thanks Alan. I shall check out those campsites.

    so tickets can be bought on the day? is this the normal way to do it? or do people do it in advance if possible?

    Thanks again, very helpful

    you can buy beforehand which means you have less of a queue to stand in and you avoid the possibility on not getting a ticket as they do sell out sometimes. Here's the link to buying tickets in the Samois site

    Also I should add that for the main acts I would recommend queuing at least two hours before it opens, I have been there when many people have been turned away. Bring a picnic and sit on the river bank.

    Email for petite barbeau as I doubt you will get on samoreau at this late stage.
    Fast and bulbous

    I am going this year as well, but unfortunately my "driver" called in sick. Since I have neither a driver's license nor a car, I will probably take the Train to Paris and try to find my way from there.

    1. Does anyone have any tips on how to get from Paris to Samois? I understand there several train stations, which ones should I avoid?
    2. Does anyone happen to go from Southern Germany to Samois who would be willing and able to give me a ride?

    I am staying at the Petit Barbeau, if this is of any concern.

    Kind Regards,
    Lennart
