Sneaking Into the Festival

[blank]

yeah tbh, kids whose dads know people and get guest passes piss me off

[rivalschools.price]

you can't really compare people who get free passes for whatever reason to people who try to sneak in without paying.i know technically both aren't paying but its still not the same thing.

Hey. I am on these forums you know.

in 2008 I left about 6 on the Sunday (Killers didnt appeal to me) and I walked past security and about 4 lads, I didnt catch all the conversation but the end of it went something like

Guy: Is there anything you can do?

Security: tell you want give us £50 each and we will (there was 3 of them) get you into the arena for the last 3 bands.

Guy turns to friends: lads £50 quick and we can get in.

And I didnt hear any more. Im guessing some of the security have a price.

A friend of one of the guys I usually go with once bribed the security on the Wednesday night then managed to get in every day without a wristband by jumping the fence into the arena a bit further down from the main entrance. Didn't believe him myself until he actually showed me, it was rather ridiculous. I've only met him once or twice but he seems to be the jammiest twat known to man.

A couple of my friends last year just decided to run through the main arena entrance.

Two of them managed to get past security and disappeared into the crowd never to be found. My other friend got caught. Worth it for the comedy value of watching security try rugby tackle them as they charged through.

I'd just like to call bollocks on this post.

The people who check the wristbands aren't highly paid security specialists. I have a group of friends who haven't bought tickets since 2005. Get to see all the bands they want to. Saying no one gets in the arena is just a load of bullshit.
