Neville Street Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 My 16 year old and 18 year old want to go, but the rules mean the 16 year old can't as she needs a 30+ year old to be her "guardian". It also sounds like she risks being frogmarched out of the "arena field" after 10pm unless she's with a 30+ year old. She is experienced with BDs, Glastonbury, but this sounds like a bit of a nightmare! She's saved up, worked out the trains, etc., but I'm not sure she should risk it! Anyone able to shed any light on it in real life? How do I get her a ticket if I am not going? Why can't my 18 year old supervise her?

Tr234 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Do you think she could get away with an adult ticket? The people on the gates are volunteers and I think they are looking more for people who have bought teen or student tickets when they should've bought a standard adult ticket. Could ask someone in the queue who looks over 30 to say they are with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville Street Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 She's thinking of buying an adult ticket, but the website has all sorts of t's and c's, e.g. Carry ID at all times to prove age. I appreciate the gates are volunteers, we do that ourselves at various festies. You can't get a random 30+ to get you in, all teen tickets have to be bought by a 30+ and a form completed! You have to enter with them, camp with the them, and you can't be in the arena unaccompanied after 10pm. A lot of this is difficult to police with volunteers, but we've all seen the paid security at festivals take the rules a bit too seriously! It just all sounds a bit draconian and we'll be hundreds of miles away. Trying to convince her to leave it and go another time!

Staff_Sav Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Chances are if she bought an adult ticket she would get in no problem. The arena policy is basically unenforceable. However don't quote me on that in case it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff_Sav Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I would chance it myself if I was a youngun, but I've only got to get back to Southampton if it all went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville Street Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for replies. We live right down on The Lizard in Cornwall, the southernmost tip! If she travels as a child on train, etc., it's nearly £100 return (inc ferry, etc.). Hopefully she will park it for this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah I highly doubt she'd have a problem getting in with an adult ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
