In 2010 I had a ticket and had been in out the site a bit as staying in the campervan area. 

My wrist band was lose but not enough to get off, I got stoped ID check and taken to a security tent asked questions about my tickets when I bought them who was lead booker and who elese had got tickets in That transaction. And my address. Shit my self!!

Year on year, they do seem to be getting stricter. 

I got huckled on the way *out* last time, shades off, hat off, inspecting my face.  I look exactly like my photo.  The photo is a year old and my hair is the same.  So then she tugged at my wristband and decreed it was too loose and that I should enter via the 'first entry' gate on my way back to have it replaced and be inspected all over again.  I smiled shrugged and went straight to the banding tent cos it was right there.  "No! Join the queue on the way back in!".  Hahaha.  NO EFFING CHANCE.  Chap at banding tent was incredulous when I told him I was ordered to get a new band.  I had to insist he replace it cos I didn't want further hassle if I ran onto that girl (who I helpfully pointed out) again.  Who wants to try to pack their bags again after being turned out for a 'random' search cos someone's mumpy?  So he reported the over-zealous checking to his supervisor. They have to account for any replaced wristbands and it's a pain apparently and there was nothing actually wrong with mine.  I think chicky had been having a right wee power trip to herself. 

Supportive as I am of the Oxfam staff I did find a few over zealous ones when I worked with them. They even policed the queue for tea in the Oxfam tent and marked it out with chairs. Just think how dangerous they would be if they exercised their little bit of power in the real world.

Last year, for the first time, crew were advised that all crew ticket holders should carry ID.

Turned out that no crew I know (now that is rather a lot) were asked for ID. Many people that run a crew tend to submit 'gender free' names when filling in the forms. Names such as Alex, Jo, Chris and Frankie. That means that when recruiting , any gender can be given any ticket.

Looks like that is still the case.

Should anyone on here be offered a crew ticket for a few quid (yes, this does happen), don't stress about your name being on the ticket. 

Crew tickets still do not have photos on them.

I'll take whoever sells those crew tickets up on that offer. I'll even throw in a twix

I do know people that were ID'd last year for a crew ticket (when I went to get my hospitality one they were insisting people had ID) so I wouldn't say it's 100% the case.

Last year I had Green Field, SL and T&C crew tickets. No ID required for any of them. Hospitality tickets may be another kettle of fish. 

 Many people who run crews don't know exactly who will be on their crew at the time when names have to be submitted and workers could drop out for whatever reason.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
