babyblade41 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 if they remove your aerosols but then they can be bought onsite then this is ridiculous... an updated banned list should have been produced earlier ... other items being confiscated that aren't on the banned list should be returned to the car without having to go through a queue or kept and labelled until returning home or it's just plain stealing IMO .. ON FB lots of aerosols being removed and a few portable gas canisters as well... madness ...should be all or nothing not selective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 All sounds a bit hit and miss. Some walking in, minimal search, others having pain medicine taken off them. Hopefully it'll calm down as things go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denwyn Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Why do you need all this stuff, it's a music festival,the music is supplied,you don't need to bring your own speakers. Just need your tent,sleeping bag, change of clothes,torch,simple toiletries oh and few bin bags. Life is so complicated these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay95 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 if you're arriving on coach you can't take things back to the car, you will lose them plain and simple. could end up costing a lot of money... .I am hoping that it calms down/some more info is provided.

Flysheet Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Whatever is happening it's taking a bloody long time. Been 2.5 hrs to move a couple of hundred yards at Gate C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitterstorm Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've seen reports on twitter about camping gas canisters being confiscated at gate A can anyone confirm if that's the case? I've got a stove and gas with me.. also are security even opening up sleeping bags/chairs etc or does it tend to be just a search of the main bag?

barkley87 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 My brother is insisting on taking his laptop so he can work while at Glasto (I'm making him use the lockups!!). I've heard of people being made to take radios back to the car because of the new security checks. Do you think they'll do that for his laptop too?

No different to how you'll have them confiscated at airport security but can then buy them in duty free 30 seconds after you've got through the gate. Ridiculous but that's just how it is.

Keithy Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 No searching at gate A other than random patdown of bags. Not heard of anyone having stuff confiscated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldom Seen Kid Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Didn't see anything being confiscated. They patted down my cool bag but that was it. No different to normal really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous but that's just how it is. I know but they can go in your suitcase can't they... just a bit OTT for me... if someone has gone to the trouble of getting a ticket, and if their intention is a massive terrorist attack I'm not sure what they are going to do with an aerosol and pen knife ... death by odour more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_c Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I honestly think a lot of the stuff on twitter is scare mongering or people just wanting hits. Why on earth would they confiscate deodorant FFS it's bonkers. They won't be getting my deodorant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semmtexx Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Dunno what happened above. Sorry. Ok arrived about 2 hours ago. Campervan East. No search whatsoever on entry. Nothing. Not collected wrist bands yet. Will update as do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworth Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Wow. Not sure what to say. I've just spent 15 minutes arguing with the guys checking tickets that I'm me. Ok I've put on a stone but I'm clearly me on my ticket. My gf had to show them a pic of my drivers license (which i luckily sent her Monday) for them to let me in. Anyhoo I'm in and that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
