Can 2 17 year olds get in without an adult? On Ticketmaster it says you have to have an adult with you if you're under 18.
Cheers!

You will be fine as long as you are not totally pissed out of your head, otherwise you shouldn't have a problem!

I've been going with my mates since I was 15, if you are worried at all, just ask some friendly looking older people if they can be your big brother or sister until you get through the gates. You honestly won't have a problem if your 17 though.

First time festival goer, I'm seventeen and going with two friends (17 & 18). Bit worried about the "Challenge 21" considering we're paying £150-odd for our tickets just to maybe get kicked out, can anyone give a bit more information on the age restrictions?

You'll be fine getting in, a lot of people start festivals at 15/16 by themselves...however buying drink may be another problem for the 17s.

Ah, cheers! The 18 is in charge of picking up the booze, as long as the other two of us carry it for her.

The impression I get from security/cops at festivals, is a light handed approach. They only really go for people that are a danger to themselves(out their nuts/out of control on drugs/drink)or others(drug dealers/violent people etc). They know people like yourself may be under age, they also know people will take drugs but as long as you are doing so in a semi responsible way you will be fine.

Saying that I wouldn't chance racking up a line of Columbias finest on front of them haha
