Checking ID on entry?

Hi guys!

Hoping to do Global Gathering this year, however come festival time I'm going to be a few months (3 to be exact) short of being 18. Just wondering if any of you could tell me if they're strict on ID etc, as I don't want to go and find out that I'm not allowed in :/

Hoping to go with my cousin who's 22, and I look older than my age so...

Please help as I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Maz

Hi Maz.

Global Gathering has always been advertised a "stricly over 18's event" and they always state that ID is required upon upon entry, but every year I've been I've never seen anyone get ID'd, or been ID checked myself. One of my best mates is 21 but literally looks like a 14- year- old and he got in both times he came with no trouble at all.

It's more of a deterrant than anything else, although whether or not this year will be any stricter I can't say. Should be fine though mate, at the end of the day its just more hassle for them, unless they can they actually can be bothered to ID like 45,000 people.

    • More O2 December dates gone and still no Paul McCartney shows announced
    • Quick question. Rather enjoyed the Rhubarb Cider from the bars. I know Thatchers did the pump ciders but who made the Rhubarb Cider?
    • Top 5 acts of the weekend for me: 1. The Cure 2. my bloody valentine  3. caroline 4. Father John Misty 5. Big Thief   Biggest disappointments: - Slowdive (the mixing/sound just wasn’t right, and that was about 20 rows from the front of the stage) - The xx (also too quiet and marred by talkers who had no interest in the music)    Positives from an organisational sense: - extra water point at Mordor this year - handing out ponchos before the rain and ear plugs before mbv    However…two of the water points had ran out on Saturday evening, which is completely unacceptable when you stop people from bringing in large bottles of water, and charge €4.50 at the bars for a 330ml can
