Dear Metalheads,
As announced, we have again looked at the problems of camping reaervations and we had a meeting with all the people who are responsable. We thouroughly looked at the differents versions to adapt the one or other thing.
The result of the previous voting on the web was that reservations should be continued. We now try to develop a comcept to have this running the most optimal way in the future for all participants.
Biggest problem of course is as usual, the fact that visitors, despite their reservations, are arriving before Wednesday, and have to camp on C first, en later move to R - where big "holes" are created on C which cannot be filled again, and "nice" camp ground is being "lost"…
We hereby propose following possibilities:
A. Maintain camping (as usual) and give up at bad weather, 'cause it is the most moisted of all.
B. Camping on "safe ground", to become more independent on weather conditions (with the direct flow of visitors during nicgt and early morning) and possibility for reservation as from 50 persons, because the community is the most important…!!
C. Camping reservation to be abandoned.
We ask for your help.
Please send opinions and other remarks to: campgroundreservierung@wacken.com
Thanks a lot.
Your
W:O:A-team
A rough translation, but I reckon it'll help.

Having never been to Wacken, I don't understand this too well. Can you give the general meaning of it?

correct me if I'm wrong

C. Camping reservation to be abandoned.
......looks like, to me....they are saying that popular vote has been to maintain the ability for groups to reserve an area, and they want to keep that possibility, but the biggest problem with that, is the camping area where the reserved spots normally are, is not only the BEST area, it's also the wettest, and the last to open.
The people who arrive before the festival "opens" (a lot show up days early) can only camp in area "C". That gets trashed, and then people with reservations, go in to a nice spot, leaving C, crapified on Wednesday.
If the weather is bad, and the reserved area is soaked at festival start, they may not let reservations stand there.
I think option B may involve holding reservations on higher ground (but probably not as optimal as in the past, as far as distance to the stages) someplace new.

Dear Metalheads,
As announced on noumerous occasions, we have talked about themes like campgrond reservations and crowdsurfing. (...)
You were numerous in giving your vote, your opinion and your proposals to make it better. Thank you for that.
(...)
The result:
The rules for campgrond reservations will be as followed in 2008:
- Campgrond reservations will be open - again- for groups as from 50 people.
The reserved place will however be replaced to another. but bigger field, to make us more independent for weather conditions, but also for a better connection for traffic. Precise plans will follow in February.
As most of you told us, it's not about camping close to the festivalarea, but to improve the community feeling.
(...)
Thanx for your support.
