Last year the person checking my ticket inspected it for ages and was clearly not convinced that it was me. I was all ready to get my driving license out! 

Made my girlfriend take her hat off, glasses and still stood for ages checking the picture. Was ok for that group as they didnt live that far away, is one hell of a gamble to drive from miles away just to get told to go home.

Another page monitor email! Nothing of note though

not even sure how it works, they made out like they were doing multiple trips to car, ive never left in middle of festival so not sure what procedure is on re entry. Anyone?? would you need both ticket and wristband?

Yep and they give you a pass-out I'm sure. Need all the pieces to the puzzle to get back in.

For re-entry you need your ticket and a pass that they give you on the way out, then they check both on the way out and in. They also check that your wristband is secure and tight enough - so no idea how that group managed it!

The trouble with my photo is it looks photoshopped, because it is. I cut myself out of a photo & put it on a white background & they accepted it years ago. I also look nothing like the photo any more. I have my last 3 years ticket stubs in my wallet with the same photo which should do the trick

To go out and get in again you need three things: 1) your ticket, 2) your wristband, and 3) a re-entry pass that they give you when you leave. So this in theory means that the same number of people go out as get back in again, and you can't go in with a mate and then go out with two tickets (yours and theirs, leaving them inside) to get another mate in who looks similar, because the stub's been torn off the two tickets, so only you will get back in again with your wristband and re-entry pass

Some stewars really check and some stewards don't really care, my brothers friend got in with a ticket he got from one of his friends that could no longer go, he turned up with face paint on and looked for the steward that was not scrutinizing as much as the rest and got through with no hassle.

Another way I heard it being done was 2 people went in and came back out then one claimed he had lost his pass out and blagged his way back in then set up camp then took the wristband pass out and ticket from his mate and went back out and met his other friend and gave him all the items and came back through re entry.

None of the 'Smuggled' lot got wristbands, think they just managed to get in with just ticket stub and pass. Guessing it went, two left with tickets and wristbands, got two re entry pass one came back in with smuggled friend minus wrist band but did have re used ticket and re entry pass. Then the one left with wristband gets ticket taken back to them and say forgot re entry pass. Like andycamper said pick someone who aint bothered then all good. Please note Im not saying to do this and i wouldnt myself but is interesting

[LeonStallard]

My friend who got in with found ticket few years back didnt even have the right colour skin!!!

I've been in caravan before. First year they opened the door and just glanced inside as the caravan was full of stuff. The next year they didn't check inside it at all. However once you have been escorted onto the site and enter the campsite you have wristband checks to get in and out every time.

[QueenPesky]

I feel like I must look really suspicious! I always get asked to take my glasses off and they always double/triple check my photo. I don't think I look that different from the picture other than having pink hair now.

Although one year the ticket checker looked at both mine and my sisters driving licences and was very suspicious at us looking similar and having the same date of birth...maybe he'd never heard of twins...

Just grow a mullet and paint a red and blue lightning bolt on your face and they will let you in out of pure respect :)

If there's any demographic that is likely to change their appearance *radically* from year to year, well, it's the Glasto festi crowd!

There was a tip-off?

Looks like it! Although I'm going to give 4:30 and 5:00 a chance and see if there's anything then!

there;s been a couple of lightning sales of small numbers of radiohead tickets this afternoon, including one a few minutes ago, so maybe they'll do glasto tix after those.

Ah man I feel nervous just in case, I'm counting on my birthday vibes for a resale and everyone on here to get tickets

Although there is no real connection between these two things, I love the optimism  Everything crossed we all get sorted!
