Hi guys!
Hoping to do Global Gathering this year, however come festival time I'm going to be a few months (3 to be exact) short of being 18. Just wondering if any of you could tell me if they're strict on ID etc, as I don't want to go and find out that I'm not allowed in :/
Hoping to go with my cousin who's 22, and I look older than my age so...

Please help as I'd really appreciate it!
Cheers!
Maz

Hi Maz.

Global Gathering has always been advertised a "stricly over 18's event" and they always state that ID is required upon upon entry, but every year I've been I've never seen anyone get ID'd, or been ID checked myself. One of my best mates is 21 but literally looks like a 14- year- old and he got in both times he came with no trouble at all.

It's more of a deterrant than anything else, although whether or not this year will be any stricter I can't say. Should be fine though mate, at the end of the day its just more hassle for them, unless they can they actually can be bothered to ID like 45,000 people.

Ahh right. Cheers dude! Appreciate the advice.
If anything, I reckon the 18+ age limit helps keep many a nob head out anyway, ie. the 13 year old chavs asking for pills. They do my head in
Hopefully get myself a ticket and look forward to a quality weekend this summer!

Yea i've never seen anyone get ID'd and i've seen plenty of people in there that could have been no older than 16! I think if your with an older group and don't look like a 12 year old you'll be fine!

Do you guys reckon a group of 15 year olds could get in?

It depends how young/ old you look as a group. For example, my mate looks well young but he was within a group who looked their age, which meant he could be accepted as being old enough to get in....if that makes sense.

yeah im having the same problem im 17 and im going with a few mates who are 17 as well we dont look young i usually pass for 18 19 at least but we're still worried obviously we dont wanna lose our cash if we dont get in!!

do they not check id when you collect your tickets or anything??

is it worth chancing it do you think??

thanks,
