People without wristbands

[ShadyBlueBell]

I have to ask this for my curiosity is getting the better of me here.

Did any one see people in the Glasto festival this year without wristbands on? we did quiet a few which makes me wonder how many people did actually get in for nothing this year and if this is so then the security measures are not fully working

i live local and a few friends of mine got in after paying some bloke £50 who had spare 'security bands' he picked them up drove them in walked into a crowd with them then took the bands off them so he could go get more.

If you're prepared to parachute in, fair play!

Not sure about the rope and metal hooks though - it's all a bit Great Escape isn't it?

I wonder if as I type, people are tunnelling under the fence site, in preparation for next year, walking around Pilton shaking dirt out of their trouser pockets.

not a person with no wristband, but one of the girls i was with ended up with 2 wristbands, coz she went to the carpark and realised she had lost her ticket, so they gave her a second wrist band. Which could easily have been taken off once past security, and got someone else to take it out to a non ticket holder in the car park, who could then put it on and also claim to have lost their ticket. Stupid system for lost tickets IMO!

I didn't see any. But then, I wasn't looking. And Id have been far too f*cked to notice anyway

[Jackmypie]

yeah i saw about 5 people, i hate people that get in for free.

Scumbags like he said^

A couple of tents down from us on the sunday around 6pm, security came swarming in (about 12 of them) and dragged about 5 away for no wristbands. Was well pleased as they had been annoying us all weekend with constant laughing gas and burning plastic. Shame they didnt get chucked earlier!

2 people we camped with got in for free. Never been before turned up friday before and luckily found a ladder which the carried all the way from castle carry...

MMMM this would not work because when you lose your ticket you have to give info regarding payment etc and there is no way of the other person who gets the free wristband would know this, system does work

[Dark Star]

Well if u were handing spare wristband over to a friend u cud quite easily tell them the payment info couldn't u? To me it would make more sense to give a substitute ticket that states u lost urs rather than a second wristband

[cejx]

people sneaking in in vans etc... I can see that.

I actually disbelieve anyone who says they got in over the fence... both fences. Escaping from Alcatraz is easier.

This happened to one of the people camped near me. They were given a second wristband, however, it was a different colour to the normal one.

As for people getting in free, my boss and two of my work colleagues got in for free through knowing someone who worked on the security who drove them in.

[serginhowardinho]

There was a massive group of people camped next to me who'd been smuggled in. They knew someone working at The Park who'd ferried them in in a transit van. They were a decent enough bunch but it did piss me off that i'd paid when they hadn't.

I guess on a daily basis you'd not notice many freeloaders, but around the campsites it's crowded anough as it is, without extra tents being levered into the gaps.

Saw a couple not too many next to the Thali tent quite funny really as they were stoned and kept on mouthing off how they hadn't paid. I was also at the stone circle when the chap tried to land his parasail thing ( I think it is called that it was a parachute with a big fan behind it)
