Quick guide for the search
- Wildcard-Search
With the help of a so-called wildcard you can look for several search words, which have the same word beginning. If you search e.g. for "Typo*", the search will find everything that begins with "Typo" : Typo3, Typoscript, Typocode, Typo3user... etc.
- Negative search
If you do not want to find certain expressions in your search result, you can cause this with placing a hyphen in front. Terms containing this phrase are excluded from the search result.
- Search for user
It is possible to limit the search result on answers of certain users. In addition to the retrieval query attach still another "user:username" and find the results, which were written by this certain user. If the username could not be found this will be ignored.

After becoming a parent, I have had to give up on my annual trip to Roskilde. My boyfriend and I always have the same discussion on who gets to go, how do we plan it, can we find the right babysitter, etc., etc. And it ends up with neither of us going. After having talked to some other friends, both with and without children, we came up with a plan: Roskilde Festival should create a parent-ticket that would make it possible for parents to share the ticket and taking turns on staying at home with the kids and rocking out at the festival. I don't know how it could be designed in practice (will leave that to the festival administration) but was wondering if there were any other out there who consents to the idea? I actually created a small survey, just to see - so please help by participating here : http://obsurvey.com/S2.aspx?id=4c17e826-7d9e-43e4-ba23-232e8feb3f93&fb_source=message The survey is for people both with and without kids. Please feel free to share your ideas or thought too. If enough people like the idea, maybe the festival will too! I will mail them the proposal if enough respondents consent to the idea. Thanks - and have a great festival! [This article was edited 1 times, at last 30.01.2012 at 21:38.] |

How would RF secure that people buying this form of ticket, is infact parents - and not just people wanting to share a ticket? I'm pretty sure a shared ticked has to be more expensive than a regular. Some people only come for three or four days. That's probably part of the whole pricing calculation. RF would probably sell 1/5 to 1/10 less tickets if people could share. EDIT: Why not just buy one-day-tickets for each of you, for the days you are able to go? [This article was edited 1 times, at last 31.01.2012 at 07:31.] |

Then luckily I can. This is in principle ticket sharing, ie. 2 people sharing a single ticket. In theory both wouldn't be allowed at the festival at the same time but it would be very time consuming to ensure that wouldn't happen. The festival would and should never allow for this no matter what name you gave it. If you're a parent and you both want to go, you buy 2 tickets and take turns taking care of the young one. Sorry Lene, it's just not a very good idea in the first place, and it would be hell to realise in practice. |

Create a ticket type on Billetlugen called family ticket (maybe for the price of three one day tickets), but issue a one day ticket for each of the four music days. This way you're certain that only one person are at the festival at the time. However you could also share with your neighbor or... |

What Lene is basically asking for is a special ticket that will last the entire festival including warm-up that can be shared. That is a bad idea. The solution is simple though. Buy 2 tickets. Take turns in going, and find a babysitter if there's a day you both want to go. |

Roskilde Festival could make a babysitting arrangement? Like on Langeland festivalen? |

If you insist on it, you can buy a childrens ticket as long as they are constantly monitored by a responsible adult. But Roskilde encourages all parents to leave their children at home. http://roskilde-festival.dk/uk/tickets/childrens_ticket/ "Roskilde Festival does not recommend bringing children to the festival."

Hi guys, Thanks so much for the input. You are probably right, it's too much of a hazzle ensuring that it is in fact two people living on the same adress WITH children together that share a ticket. I hadn't really considered that people could cheat... hahaha. Well maybe at some point in the future, the festival will introduce roskilde-wristbands with electronic chips  |

Although the festival houses a lot of love and loving people, I agree that Roskilde is not for kids. |

Again, just buy a ticket for each of you or buy oneday-tickets for the days you want to go. |

why not send them away on a holliday? My parents did, once a year for a week, and to be honest, I loved it a week away from my parents ! where I was allowed to do what I normally wouldnt It was heaven. It was considered as a win/win deal for all off us. I got to visit some family I normally didnt see, and they had a week of "children free zone" to enjoy themselves and each other. The catch was, that the deal went the other way around, on a later point  each year. Like a turnus
