Just had a quick search to check this thread had finally sunk. It has. Don’t expect anyone will see this. 

Thanks for checking that out. Glad it’s finally off the radar.

Anyone confirm the extra checks are in fact normal?

Very extensive.

Included in ticket cost or did you have to pay extra?

Compulsory but included.

 

Just remember kids (assuming the rules haven't changed since last October)...

"Finally, and on a serious note, always remember your rights. Security guards cannot legally detain you unless they suspect you for an indictable offence, but they can eject you from the premises or stop you from coming in. If you agree to a search with security, they can only check your bags, pockets and outer layers of clothing and only on entrance to the premises. They also have the power to confiscate anything illegal that they find if you agreed to the search.

A police officer, however, can search you at any time, but they must first tell you their name and station, what they intend to find, the reason they want to search you (AKA a dog has indicated you are holding drugs), why they are legally allowed to search you and how you can get a copy of the search recording."

Absolutely, only a matter of time now. Just nobody post in here, ok! 

I though I had  better bring it to everyone’s attention that nobody has posted about this in ages. Well done. It finally went away.

Hooray! I'm confident this will never make the front page again.

Will they be searching us for crisps this year? 

The thought of having to stick my spicy mega monster munch up my arse is terrifying me.

You should breeze through at the moment

its fair enough to know your rights ect , but surely it would be better to not have anything to worry about in the first place ?

 

The point of knowing your rights is so that you know what security are allowed to do - you don't want them overstepping the mark especially if you're innocent

One hour after ingesting all of your drugs.

I still chuckle at this from years ago

Walking down the hill of death and getting to the gate we passed security searching a mature ladies freezer box on a table  and the security guard pulled out the biggest bread knife .  It glinted in the sunlight like a samurai sword.

Holding it aloft like a warrior I just heard security say very politely   " Madam i can't let you take that in "

I dont think so , not much she could do ,  a lot of people including us took that distraction as our opportunity to get in unchecked ( which we did )

In some way, I’m glad she got caught because that in the wrong hands is quite scary but a funny story!

I enjoy the stress people have over searches when it's probably the least strict festival I've ever encountered. 

We were told we could "volunteer to be searched" on the way in Wednesday, would have done it but the queue wasn't actually any shorter!
