I have a beard problem.

Alright all...

Glad to say my tickets arrived on sat morning...but forgot that when I registered I had a full beard in the photo,but now I am beard free as smooth as an egg..my problem is how keen are they when they check the ticket..don't really fancy growing one back. (not enough time)

But I do look a lot different..any other people had this hairy problem.

Nice one.

I'm now 21, and for some stupid reason, my ticket has a photo of me aged 14. Was a brunette - now blonde. Had the same problem last year and just brought my ID incase - wasn't questioned though!

Cheers.

Fingers crossed it should workout ok.

I was worried about this as I'm still using my 2007 registration pic. I had hair back then and no beard. The girl checking the ticket last year studied it in depth, before proclaiming "yes, that's definitely you"

I am taking extra ID, just in case, basically my passport (where I had even more hair) and last 2 years tickets (also same photo). I'm probably being overcautious, but you never can tell.

I'm hoping I'm not going to have a problem myself  im ticket photo from 2009 and I had short hair and I now have dread and look a lot different. Does anyone think I will have problem?

As said elsewhere (same thread, different forum...tut tut and all that;)) get them to focus on the facial features such as mouth, nose and eyes, I look quite a bit different to my registration pic now as its several years old, but they seem to recognise me without an issue. I am sure they are used to dealing with different hair, etc as the majority of people's pics are a minimum of 6 months old from pre-oct registration.

Yeah there's that so not really worried now 

collect your belly button fluff from now until the event then fashion said fluf into a lifelike representation of your once full beard. Save some in reserve in order to accomodate 'pass outs' where you might want to return to your vehicle for beers, waterproofs, shaving equipment.

[muddyslingbax]

in addition IF ( and i mean IF) you are a man you should have time to grow another full beard before the event.

Firstly, a beard should never be viewed as a problem!

Secondly, if you take some photo ID with you you should be fine. It doesn't really matter if you've got a beard or not on the ID. A combination of your photo on the ticket, your name on the ticket, your photo ID and your own face should be enough to get in. A beard doesn't change how you look that much anyway.

My photo is from late 2006 when I had long hair and a bushy beard (think Jesus...if he came from Manchester) and now I've got short hair and a well kept beard. I don't think I look like my picture anymore but never had probs getting in.
