Glastonbury alcohol email?

I can see exactly why this has been issued. I work in risk management and one of the mantras is "if it's not in writing it didn't happen". GFL need to show - in writing - that they are enforcing their policy regards reasonable consumption of alcohol on site and preventing the illegal sale of alcohol. If something then does happen (an arrest for drunk & disorderly or an alcohol related accident for instance) then the organisers can point to this as part of their attempts to discharge their duty of care to the attendees and enforce policy and hence defend their position.

If I was advising the organisers I would have told them to do exactly this, but I would have worded it better. ;)

Time will tell - its bound to come.

not claiming it will be GFL wish but I bet Mendip District Council will push for it.

at other fests it seems to have been the old bill that have pushed for crack-downs on under-age drinkers, rather than the council (but of course the old bill's view comes back at the fest via the council).

I'm amused at the amount of people still saying they don't believe this email is real. Of course it's real. And for people saying it'll be chaos to enforce, not really... all they have to do is say "go back to the car with it or dump it there" - not hard to enforce at all.

As to whether it's right or not... I can understand them wanting to stop people selling it on site, but if you've got a smallish amount but it happens to be on wheels, stopping you bringing it in seems ridiculously draconian.

I've not had the email yet but it seems a bit unfair to impose restrictions so late in the day when most people will have bought all their booze already. Not sure why they would bring up the wheel thing if they didn't mean it?

It won't affect me personally as I don't drive and can only bring what I can carry anyway (not much). A bad experience with a bringing a wheelbarrow put me off for life! But seems a total pain for everyone else. I wonder if they'll enforce it at the train station/drop-off point too? I.e. Not letting people even bring their trollies.

The email formatting and headers are quite different to some of the other emails.

Which is a verified Glasto Festival email.

This is someone in SeeTickets playing sill buggers.

Sounds like a roundabout way of cracking down on bootleggers. 2 crates of 24 cans a person would be about the most anyone could carry, and that would be about the most that you could claim is for personal use over 5 days. I guess if you have a trolley full of booze between a few of you it might be best to make sure you enter together to explain to security that its not just for one person.

No, it's a genuine email on behalf of Glastonbury Festival.
