ID checks

From everyones experience how much attention gets paid to the photos on the tickets? My gf is considering purchasing and unwanted ticket.

It varies.

Some check thoroughly and some don't.

Your choice if you risk it, if you do and she doesn't get in, it'll be the most expensive bit of paper she has ever bought.

Mixed, 1 of my 3 times I've been, the person checking my ticket had a good look at my photo and my face, The third time I was asked to also show a piece of photo ID (had my driving license which obviously matched my address) and the other time i was waved straight through wearing a hat and sunglasses.

so basically its inconsistent, so just make sure you know the risk and don't throw a hissy fit when and if you dont get let in.

Apparently the tickets this year have a watermark or a uv light message on them that says "check photo" I've not checked myself but read it on a similar thread a while back.

If you have a ticket that isn't yours you need to know exactly when it was booked and by whom.. one year you had to bring photo id to get in and a girl in our group who incessantly reminded us all to bring proofs forgot hers! She was taken into a shed and asked about these questions.

Thanks all, I shall advise her and see if she wants to risk it.
