Visitors took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the long wait, with many saying it was the largest queues they had seen at the festival.
Alex Cuddeford tweeted: “Can’t believe the level of disorganisation and queues getting into Bestival, absolutely ridiculous.”

Other visitors claimed that they had to rejoin the main queue if they had to temporarily leave the site.
Yesterday Bestival organisers tweeted: “A high volume of people will be arriving at once this morning so there may be queues - we are getting everyone in safely ASAP.”
In a statement organisers said: “A large volume of festivalgoers arrived on site at once, which has caused some queues to develop.
