Driving license?

[Derby_Dave]

I was perusing the Glastonbury website and while looking at the what to pack list it states that we should take a Driving license. Have I missed something? Do we need to produce i.d. as well as our ticket on entry?

sorry if I am acting thick!!

Well I don't normally have to carry my license when I drive places.

I have never been asked for my Driving License at Glasto and I always take my car.

I this some new requirement ? - first I have heard of it !

Probably a) to prove age - the bars have the right to refuse service to anyone who cannot prove their age and just in case at the gates, they ask for some extra proof of identity.

If 'your lucky enough to look under 25' its easy id, especially if the bars will be id'ing more peeps this year. Also if someone on the gate disputes its you in the pic, which could happen - all the talk of getting in on other peoples tickets n all, you could show it, I guess you could take a bill or letter.

I could possibly use mine to remember my name and address if needed too!

[laid back in the sun]

think you're meant to carry your driving license any time you drive?

[Mr Ploppy]

Doubt it will be anything to do with driving as even if the police request it - you get 7 days to produce it anyway I believe.

It'll be for the bars, or in worst case scenarios, at the gate

Should have mine before the festival

For the bars, presumably. Seems like they're doing Challenge 25 this year, so makes sense for anyone under about 30 to take ID, I reckon!

[laid back in the sun]

i was asked for id in asda a couple of months ago.... was chuffed to bits!

[laid back in the sun]

Lol just checked your profile to see how old you are. I would be chuffed to bits lol!!!

[remote]

I always carry mine around in my wallet anyway. I got ID'd at V last year, as did the guy next to me who went absolutely nuts at this person's sheer audacity to ask for ID. I don't see what the problem is. If you've got ID surely it's not that challenging to just show someone it?

[benissright]

I havent been ID'd since i turned 21 a few months ago...so i imagine i must look exactly 21

Well knowing TOS's rubbish / lazy website updating, it probably harks back to when we needed photo ID to get into the festival, as addresses were on the tickets, but no photos.

And they probably just haven't removed it from the list...

The old 'Citizen Card' days!

Fake I.D At The Ready

i never take my ID with me anywhere, I don't drive, so only have a passport-and i dont fancy losing ut

if one bar decides i look too young, which would be surprising..then i just go to a diff bar, job done;)

taking id is risky , im prone to losing stuff

[noil46]

doesn't it say ID driving licence or passport? It's got to be for the beer tents.

[markeee]

yea, but i mean if your over 18..who cares, chances are you'd be fine, and if not at one bar, try another

someone whos just turned 18..sure may be a diff matter
