I went to plenty before 2000 and never snuck in as such. Had two I worked, then several I got in on free tickets (family member on Mendip District Council and the festival were savvy and said "come and see it for yourself"), then bought them usually from the shop in broadmead, but one notable time it sold out and I very cheekily phoned MEs brother (who I only knew very slightly), who walked me through on one of their villagers' tickets.Â
Really felt he had better things to do during the fest, so resolved to not be in that position again.Â
I nearly helped someone else, we hid him under a duvet in a vw camper a friend lent me. As our first go in a van we foolishly didn't realise they didn't care about parking the van up, just when you came through the pede gates. As he wondered what to do, someone moved the fence, security chased a runner and he strolled through with a dozen others...who all got in quicker than us ticket holders 😊
Every year we have someone come to the Lockups, usually on the Thursday, who's either had their or a friend's tent robbed and have lost valuables. And then realise they need to leave what's left with us.
It's not worth the risk to not use the lockups.
