said that Global Gathering 2005 was the largest dance music festival in the UK (not verified). It is generally thought that the attendance was around 45,000 people. Different tickets were available for the Friday night, the Saturday night, or for the entire weekend. Many more people attended on Saturday than on Friday.
Previous Global Gatherings had been single day events, but this was the first to be run over two days. Those who purchased weekend tickets were able to gain access to a camping
area. The camping area contained various shops and food stalls that were open 24 hours a day, as well as a dodgems ride and toilets.
The event was well sign-posted, with most attendees arriving via the M40
motorway. Car parking was plentiful. There were long queues to gain entry during the afternoon and evening of the Friday, with those who had queued to enter the camp site forced to queue again to enter the arena area. Security was very visible at the entrance with a large number of police
present. The police even had an X-ray
machine to examine some bags. No alcoholic drinks
could be brought through the gates, although many were able to bring their own into the camp site.
Although the weather was mainly overcast and there was occasional drizzle, everyone was in good spirits and there was generally a good atmosphere. There were large queues for the toilets and the cash machines (of which there were only three), particularly on the Saturday.
VIP tickets were available to purchase. Benefits included:
Beach arena, which had an outdoor stage looking out onto an area that had been covered in sand. The Get Loaded/Godskitchen
tent held an estimated 15,000 people. It is worth noting that not all acts came on at the exact times listed in the programme.

There was still drinking water available from taps at two locations in the site.
