I went to Glastobury at 4 weeks old strapped to my mums back and many many times over during the 70's, 80's and 90's sorry to piss on your chips but I have had some serious God awful times at Glastonbury, drainage problems, sickness, filth (yeah a few decades ago) and some amazing times but you can also speak the to the older festival goers about the introduction of the wall etc.. and how Glastonbury has changed, the festival was supposed to be free and now they charge. you can not compare something on the size as Glastonbury to a smaller Commercial festival.  V is a smaller main stream commercial festival.

This is a commercial festival on a smallish site, no one has ever said anything different.

Download festival may be introducing a total ban on any alcohol being brought into the Donnington site next year, you might have to buy all your boozes from on the site, most festivals will follow suit, apart from Glastonbury ourely becasue of the size they can not police it.

Can't see a problem with the fence personally. I didn't go years and years ago but in the years I have been with and without the fence I prefer it since the fence. Call me silly but it's preferable not having to worry about having my tent turned over by some of the thousands of gatecrashers. It also stops it getting stupidly crowded but hey maybe some people like that.

As for the total on site booze ban, i'm calling bullshit, they may as well just cancel the festival because people wouldn't have it. Any festival to do that wouldn't be operating within a year or two. I mean considering the high proportion of teenagers at Reading/Leeds, V etc where would the money come from to drink pints all day at £3.50 a pop? Not to mention the fact that there'd be jack shit to do after the Arenas closed. No chance, though i'd like to see them attempt it.
