Bisque Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've always taken 200 duty-free & flogged a couple of packs to mates & neighbours whether I'm smoking or not. Go halves on a B&H 400 pack with a colleague, split the cost & take an extra 15% off staff discount... 200 cigarettes for just over £16. Even cheaper in Dubai.

glasto-worker Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I got an over-18 wristband last year when i was on the way in with a fake id that looked nothing like me. The girl gave me a bit of a sceptical look but still gave me it. I think you'd be fine getting one with fake id. I never actually tried to use the wristband/id to buy alcohol on -site but tesco accepted the id fine so just get stuff there and bring it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyquack Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just out of interest, what kind of forms of I'd do you accept at the bars? I don't have a drivers license but have a citizenship card which has the PASS hologram mark on it - would this be okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyquack Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I presume you mean CitizenCard http://www.citizencard.com/ yes that would be fine - as long as it has a genuine PASS hologram on it { there is loads of fakes but they are easy to spot } - years ago there was two versions and some had a hologram and others did not - it was just your luck as to which was issued but these days they all have a PASS hologram on it I would advise that you have it in your hand - many people have it stuck in a bag and then takes ages to fish it out - bar staff will go and serve someone else while the person is trying to find it. The WBC that runs the bars are under scrutiny from Trading Standards every second the bars are open and its common for Trading Standards to inspect so many cards as you are leaving the bar - dont worry as they will produce a Trading Standards ID Card. ------- Forms of ID we accept: A Portman Proof of Age Card Citizen Card Validate UK Card ProofGB Young Scot Full or Provisional photo card driving licence issued by the Driver and - Vehicle Licensing Authority Current Passport - bars will not accept a canceled Passport or a photocopy UK Military photo ID card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasto-worker Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yep - that's what I meant! Thanks for the info - I turn 18 on Friday so kind of new to all of this! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyquack Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yeah, I have the 16/17 card but luckily it has on the bottom an area which says 'will be 18 on #####' Hopefully this'll speed things up a little bit. Thanks for advice again - I'll definitely go to the smaller bars first then. Thanks for the happy birthday too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estanfield Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Turning 18 in July so knowing my luck the first festival (Reading) I use it at, I am guaranteed to lose it! If only the wristband thing worked then I wouldn't have to worry so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeReadingRep Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes - come to any of the bars as we make a copy before the ID and the person trying to use it is handed to the Police - they are taken away and as they are under age their Parents are called because they cant be interviewed without their Parents. As soon as you try to use fake ID you can be charged by the Police with Fraud. By the way look above you as every bar has overhead CCTV { in a normal bar there will be at least five cameras } so it does not matter what story you dream up the Police will get a DVD copy of that time period. Most fakes look ok under normal light but when checked using a 365nm UV black light its easy to spot a fake So if you want to risk missing the festival then go ahead .
