under 18 getting in alcohol

[asda123]

Right i'm going with a few mates and we're all 17, 1 of us could probably pass for 18 and the rest easily look 16 so may get away with being 18 when there's a big crowd at the gate etc

Looking to take a crate of beer each probably, obviously you can hide booze in your bag but that limits how much you can take and is a pain in the arse to carry!

Would we be able to walk into the campsite carrying the booze? Do the security guards care provided you don't look like you're not even old enough to be there let alone drink?

Preferably people with experience and don't even bother saying "you shouldn't be drinking if you're underage so don't bring it" because its just naive and lets face it, its a festival

Why not ask someone who is old enough in the queue to carry it in? I've done this a few times for people who are not old enough with alcohol and for people to get in free at festivals.

hmm could do but they may be carrying stuff themselves and the amount of chavs that go to V they might either take a few for themselves or give you shit for even asking

Dont give your drink to a chav and they wont drink it. As the post above says give it to someone that looks like they have been to fests before

Find some folk who look like V veterans, doubt they'll be hard to spot - sunglasses, hiking boots, cargo shorts, flannel shirt and a bucket hat and ask them if they mind carrying in your beer, and in return you'll carry in their camping gear, chairs, tents etc.

Cant believe this about the 3rd thread started for this topic. And you have just described my look minus the flannel shirt! Do we really stick out that much?

you all dress like Dads mostly you stick out like a sore thumb because you come dressed appropriately for a festival whereas there are loads of w*nkers in a £300 topman get up

[asda123]

on a serious note kris if someone like me, providing they didn't look like a c*nt, asked you to carry their booze in and offered to carry your tent or whatever in return, would you say yes?

[Com Truise]

Love watching them lot get stuck or tired then literally beg to use my trolley. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave!

Just carry your beer in, they won't give a flying fuck.

Do they count a 16-25 Rail card as ID? I dont really have anything else

Got mine taken from me at IOW last year went to the shop to buy more gave it for a mate to take through and it got taken again. Lucky someone saw what was going on showed ID and said we were with him so they let us through! I'd suggest asking someone else to take it through better to get told to f off by a chav than have your drink taken. trust me 30 beers and a bottle of jager gone.

if you look underage and you're just carrying a crate of beer in, they'll stop and ask your for ID..

[DarthSaul]

The people who work at V really dont give a crap about anything, they wont stop to ask for ID just like they dont bother stopping anyone making fires, bringing in flares or laser things or anything else

I've been going since I was 16 with any where from around 10-40 different people of the same age. No they don't.
