Get your parents to write you a letter saying it's ok for you to attend. Seriously!

I'm sure that's what people have done before. or get the letter to say that someone(insert name) who is with you and over 18 is your guardian and will be looking after you with their permission. as long as you don't look really young i'd say you'll be fine anyway

You'll be fine if you have some sort of letter, people ask this every year and none of them have ever come back and said they weren't let in so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

2 years ago, there were a group camping next to us from Leeds and Huddersfield, who were all under 18, and they didn't have any problems.

oh wicked

i managed to book train from barca to castellon on renfe.. have hopefully left enough time to a) get to station in time on way there, and get to airport in time for flight back. I'm hoping I'll have some time to savour barca, it really is a lovely city

on the topic of age, i noticed on the FIB website they're saying you require photo ID to get in (for all ticketholders), was this policy up last year? (and was it adhered to?)

doesnt matter too much anyway as im hoping a letter from parents will be enough

cheers

You will have no problems. I have never been to a concert or festival in Sain and seen anyone get turned away (and I have lived here for 10 years...).

Just don´t turn up in a football shirt, carrying a crate of beers and gobbing off, and no one will give a flying one. Enjoy!

You are supposed to have a letter from a parent saying so and so who is over 18 is looking after you. I had one when I first went 2 years ago as I had my daughter and her friend with me who were both 15. Didn't need it as I remember but you do have to take your passport when you get your wristband so it is not a case of looking over 18 being good enough so I would take a letter as well if I were you to be totally safe.
