balti-pie Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I didn’t even pay to get in this year ? I breezed up with my EPO band and just went in, bold as you like. Even went in on Tuesday, just to take the piss a bit extra. Ok I had to volunteer and work 3 x8hr shifts, but still: I got in for free ? I’m like, bad and that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I noticed on Sunday afternoon there was this woman strutting and dancing around the Pyramid without a wristband on. Absolutely brazen she was, I’m surprised security didn’t notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred quimby Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Met a few who got in without tickets. Also while on shift at back of T&C a sweaty security guard asked if I had seen a bearded chap with cider running through. No I say why? He had jumped the fence I did say fair play to him. Security said that they thought the same and he should have a cracking party and stoppedlooking for him and had a chat with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS94 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Was sat having a pancake in the shade near West Holts on Friday, saw some commotion as security surrounded a fella without wristband. 50 odd year old Woman comes and sits next to me strikes up a conversation along the lines of "Can you pretend you know me so they don't look too closely at me, I was with him" They'd paid some local £50 to be led through some fields and under a hole in the fence. Sat chatting to her for a good half hour, told me all the details of how they pulled it off, and all about her life, absolutely fascinating conversation. Felt bad for the guy she was with though, a very heavy handed search by 5+ security and police, thrown in the back of a land rover in cuffs at the end of it!

carlosj Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I got in this year on ticket where the bloke was years younger than me with brown hair. But it's my lucky selfie and I'm not changing it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they're allowed to handcuff trespassers. It's not a criminal offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it probably would've been the small bag of white powder they found on his person then. Either way, could it not constitute breaking and entering?

They have a ticket and a signed pass only. So she could have been legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not got the time to read all the posts. Some people are not aware of the fact that you don’t HAVE to have a wristband. I’ll get back in my box shall I?
