first year without a ticket.. but still coming?

[glasgowpete]

ive never blagged my way in since the super fence has went up, i know a couple of people who have tho. delivery vans and back handers to security.

good luck

[Messy]

That story at the top of page three (not quoting in case I use up efest's bandwidth for the year) is f**king epic.

[worthyraver]

I always thought if you just ran though the gates they would never catch you, on the presumption you are fast and fit you could just disappear into the crowd, I dont suppose they would even chase you, would think gate C would be best for this.

Thinking about it I am sure I have read somewhere on here that someone has done it or saw someone do it.

If it was me I would just find someone to bribe to let me in.

[Okky]

You see a lot of people with weelie bins to carry their stuff in and with tents etc gaffa taped to the outside. Would be so easy to pop a smallish person in one.

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Good luck to you. I guess all you have to lose is a bit of time and I'm sure it will be an adventure one way or another.

I've seen the loosened wristband/passout work previously but security are well wise to that one now so it will be pretty difficult to use that trick this year I should think.

With the majority of others I think your best bet would be getting in on a truck. Would be interested to know what the outcome would be for a driver caught doing this though - would it be worth the risk for a few quid to the driver ? I'm not sure about that.

Anyhow good luck and post up how you go on after the festival.

My method ;

Just run.

Really really fast.

Naked.

Smeared in your own faeces.

[robith]

I would say don't do it. As someone who has been lucky enough to go to Glastonbury post license issues a few rules aren't that hard to bother with.

I will of course make an exception if you rock up in a twix laden camo suit, obviously

[Okky]

I'd appreciate if everyone could stop mentioning Twix.

I haven't had one for ages, it's raining outside and my shoes have holes in.

If temptation gets the better of me I'm blaming you guys.

[Spindles]

Beautifully sunny here and I'm considering popping to the shop myself. Kitkat is my weapon of choice however, my shoes always have holes in them, that's part of their charm

[mirandamayhem]

Wicked Twix and water filled story. But I commend anyone who sneaks in without being caught, not the type who'll pay someone off, but the ones who like the story teller, spend several hours in the wilderness planning their attack!

I was at the front for muse and all that rubbing and going I came without me noticing.

BinThereDrummedThat - epic story, just epic!!

[staggerlee]

I know people who have done this and got in:

'A' who has a legitimate ticket and wrist band leaves the festival receiving a pass out ticket. On reentering 'A' pretends to have lost his past out ticket. As 'A' has both his original ticket and wrist band they let him in after some begging. Even if this doesn't work 'A' can always pretend to find his pass out with much relief.

Now all 'A' needs to do is give his spare pass out, genuine ticket and wristband to another person 'B', who also has a genuine ticket and wristband, who will leave the site.

'B' leaves the site receiving another passout, he now has two.

'B' now gives a ticket, wristband and passout to the ticketless person 'C' waiting outside. 'B' and 'C' walk in easily using the passouts.

Only problem I can foresee is how you get in the carpark as I'm pretty sure they ask for the tickets at carpark gates.

[BinThereDrummedThat]

I'd just like to make something clear...

The story I posted was not my own personal story, it's been posted/re-posted on here over the years (I guess some of the older members might remember its origins.)

It was meant purely as a "It's this hard to get in, so don't even bother trying" post...not condoning sneaking in at all. As I said in the post, if you want to come, buy a ticket or work for your ticket. Don't think about trying anything else, the licence could be at risk which would mean no more festival.

[staggerlee]

Or security getting wise to it and checking the photos on the tickets against people coming back in.

I went last year and tried 3 times to get in last year and failed each time, I almost thought I was going to get beat up by one person from security on my first attempt, the second attempt I didnt even do anything, I was in the car park and they came and picked me up, said they had been watching me via CCTV. The 3rd Attempt was not any better I found some plastic so i cut it into a wrist band shape stuck it round my wrist, walked to the main gate and just tried to walk in and flash my wrist at them. and again unlucky.

However I did get a ride in a Landrover through the site and also had a cuppa in the welfare building under tight security, once finished i was kicked offsite.

when you are kicked off site they take you to a tent to speak with head of security a chance to explain yourself then they make a decision to either let you stay or evict you, if they evict you it will mean you cant enter the car parks or go anywhere within the boundaries if you are seen inside the boundary you get picked up and taken back to the main road. so Don't waste your time but if you do then good luck you will need it.

[Winston Legthigh]

Just another post to say what an incredible story that was. I also now really want a twix.

[staggerlee]

That sounds plausable for sure... One other thing, If your taking wristbands off, how the hell do you do that with out "cutting" the wristband. Then how do you re-seal it without that gizmo they use for stamping them?

You'll need to show a ticket just to get in the carparks. Easy enough I guess to get into the carparks if tjeres a group of you and then try from there but if your travelling down on.your own my bet will be that you'll be doing well to even get within site of the gates.

my favourite break in tale was an old school buddy who found an old tractor parked on one of the side roads with a hi-vis vest on the seat and some recycling bins in the trailor.

He simply donned the hi-vis, hot wired the tractor and was waved through each gate by stewards and into the festival!

Kaiser Soze eat yer heart out!

[markeee]

dont see how this could work with refernce to the getting matyes wristband, saying you been to car and lost pass out ticket etc

they'd just not have any of it surely?!
