Just gone through a search at Gate A and they’re taking packets of crisps off people as apparently they’re not allowed for some reason, so if you’ve got your stuff hidden in crisp packets and sealed back up… maybe rethink that. 

very strange

Security have a long day ahead, can't expect them not to need snacks to keep them going. 

Other than them being peckish though that sounds very odd.

Maybe a rumour that’s started that’s not true … can’t see that personally … everyone has food sealed in some way or another 

No they literally took my two multipacks of Mini Cheddars off me - no rumour

This is utterly bizarre and may mean I need a rethink...

It is possible the people saying that have no idea, I cannot verify, and likely, neither could they.

It's kind of hard to tell right?

Regardless, all queues lead inside.

No movement at Gate B yet as far as we can see.

Hmmm.  Hence the if.

Is this a sustainability thing because of the packaging? Would Pringles pass with their recyclable containers?

I think that’s it yeah. The security seemed pretty baffled by it too, as it’s just crisps, not any other packaging. 

[leonaves]

any dogs?

[Cooter]

or maybe the "pack less.... so you spend more cash inside" thing, slippery slope, be booze next year.

Hmmm. We've got some packs of peanuts and pretzels. And some cookies. Like thats it. Hopefully they pass the test.

Smells more like security are looking for an easy way to take peoples stuff so they can sell it on inside the festival rather than an actual policy to confiscate crisps.

I do get peckish for cheddars at 3am in Shangri La.

[Leyrulion]

In gate d queues snakes round to orange west 38 and beyond. But is moving. Probably 300 metres in last 10 mins.

[Cooter]

either way, its very strange and not really on imo. Maybe a good few people not agreeing with this at the gates and the idiot who thought this policy up will have a rethink.

[Cooter]

what next, pot noodles?? They'll be riots!!

[Chrisp1986]

Does this include peanuts and bombay mix?

[EFC1996]

Sounds like the gaffer of the security has developed a crisp addiction since lockdown

Im gonna crack up if they dont do one thing at the Worthy View entry. "Oh you paid extra to camp, off you go, take those crisps"

[robin]

Or someone in security thought they would come up with something daft to "ban" and then see how long it took to appear online with people protesting about it?

[Ayrshire Chris]

Worthy view still not open.  Gonna eat all my crisps and wotsits just in case 

[Crazyfool01]

Crisp thread setup
