I thought it was pot luck where the car pakr attendants direct you through the car parks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathimp Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just been in twice via Gate B. Normally use Gate D which is bigger. Today is a staff/ volunteer day so tomorrow will be different. A narrow gate only two search tables today. Bag check for everyone separate queue for this with No bag only. Everyone else in one queue. Everyone checked but looking for obvious hard objects only. Evetything else passed through OK. Take your time at the tables. I nearly lost some clothes. Security nice and friendly. More bag search desks will be added tomorrow. Checks only added 10 to 15 mins to our entry but will be longer queues tomorrow. We will only know tomorrow whether all bags continue to be checked. Have a great one. You will be here soon! Make sure you are prepped for queuing in the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Krogh Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Do you reckon 2nd trippers need to join the same queue as new arrivers? I guess the search is separate from wrist bands. How about trolleys vs no trolleys? debating whether to bring trolley on first trip or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 yeah it sounds like trollies aren't being singled out for longer queues then? Put in the same queue as people carrying a few things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyUserName Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Not much happening - walked past earlier on the way to The Crown in Pilton. A small queue but it appeared to all be staff at this point. Is the car park open yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woffy Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Apart from the lovely 10 / 15 people sat next to us, we're at the front of the queue at Gate B. Lots of people are walking down the staff channel and getting turned back and ending up behind us. Stay in the right hand channel if you're arriving tonight. Security / stewards have been REALLY informative from the off: - we'll be searched through the night and they'll work their way up the queue. Good plan. - we're some way from the gate but will be moved forward towards the actual gate in blocks. - no car searches AT ALL.

Anders Krogh Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Great stuff. I think I'll just bring the trolley. Sounds like it's a better plan than going twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZigster Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Great thread(s) I'm off in umpteen minutes. It's Gate B I'm aiming for. See you in just over four hours I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Krogh Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 This was asked by someone in a different thread, worth repeating. Do we think gates will open early? What time did they open last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woffy X How have you managed to get in so early, thought the car parks weren't supposed to open until 9pm? Thanks for the update, the searching of people in the overnight queues makes alt of sense.

Andeeroo Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Searching the queues over night makes sense but how will they know whether you need to be searched when you reach the front of the queue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
