Q:
I've tried to book for next friday (13th october) as I know the tickets only come out online a week before. I can see options for Thursday and Saturday however Friday I cannot select the date (it is greyed out). Does anyone know of a reason why or suggest how I can book? Other days that are sold out are highlighted in red so doesn't appear thats the case. We're only there Friday to Sunday and itinerary is pretty tight. Thansk Katie

Q:
How strict are they with backpacks? I have a standard sized backpack and wondering if I will be allowed in with that.
