age limit.

[Welshyyy]

we know its 18 to get served, but my mates worry you need to be 18 to get into the festivial, is this true? or whats the youngest age you can be without an adult?

[Role Model]

16. but unless you look 10, you're not going to have any trouble getting in without an adult.

[Welshyyy]

thanks alot:)

hopefully i can get served;P

[biglewhill]

yeah i was 16 when i first went, and i had no problem getting in and the bars, it is true, you will every now and then come across a strict person.

You could just take your own booze?

[Lewis2804]

Seeing as your gonna be 18. Looks like you'll have to take a trip to tesco down the road lol! get some serious crates of booze mate

[biglewhill]

i took 2 crates of 24x last year, seemed ideal, considering i was to buy several pints in the arena also

[Sam Lanham]

Can you bring alcohol with you then?

Can you bring alcohol with you then?

[biglewhill]

yeah but I'm sure I heard something about them trying to limit it to a crate or so per person (although you can keep going back out for more I guess). they do ID people coming in with booze though. I was 32 at the reading one and got ID'd so be a bit careful.

[wheres the mudfight]

They ID'd you taking booze into the actual festival?

they havent done that to me yet, and i've took two crates each time D:

[biglewhill]

yep. 3 of us went through with a crate each and they stopped us. I had to take all three through the barrier as I was the only one with ID despite all of us being 30+. was the first time ever and only happened once over the weekend but they were pulling people over a fair bit at other times, just not me.

[wheres the mudfight]

haha, based on your experience, i think i'll take ID this year.

But isnt it a pain to carry it around all the time? or have they actually made 18+ wristbands like they said they would?

[biglewhill]

yeah, there were 18 plus wristbands last yeat. It was the only time in the whole festival I got ID'd. I'm maybe making it seem worse than it was, I was just surprised at the time - even though I'm blessed with youthful good looks it's a stretch to say I look less than 18

[wheres the mudfight]

i didn't know the 18+ bands were around last year!

and haha, you must have very young looks if your over 30 and got ID'd

[Welshyyy]

Is there a chance of them ID'ing us at the gate to get in or not? :S

[Desmond 48]

I was 15 when I went to my first Leeds and I wasn't ID'd. You should be alright, the security guards don't really care I don't think.

[Welshyyy]

If they do i'll just get someone to bring stuff in;') easy enough.

[glasto-worker]

So are you willing to pay their fine if they get caught ?

Which can be up to £ 5,000

Each year the law gets stricter so what happened in the past is irrelevant.
