Day Ticket over night camping with friend

[Frames]

Is it possible to get a day ticket, park somewhere in Leeds, go to the festival camp with my friend who's got a weekend ticket then walk out the next morning and make my way back to Leeds centre and my car.

sorry if it's already been asked

You're not supposed to but there's no way of stopping it. You can walk straight into the camping area from the Arena with no problems at all.

If you did that you wouldnt be able to get back into the arena the day after so it would be pretty pointless

can always get the shuttle bus back in the morning, not sure what time they start but i know people who have gone into town for a proper breakfast and supplies.

yeah shuttle buses are on every day, and there's always plenty of taxis around if you're feeling rich!

some people don't like day ticket holders camping (because they haven't paid to presumably?) but it doesnt bother me really as long as you're not putting up another tent or anything

they do keep saying they will crack down on day ticket holders camping afterwards but i haven't seen much evidence of that so far... and the site layout hasn't changed this year as far as i know so probably nothing to stop you

i did it a few years back and it was fine.

myself, i don't see the problem with it as shuttle buses after ther bands finish will be scarce, then you'd be stranded in leeds train station overnight anyway if there no late train.

2008 there would have been no problem but i think they're clamping down this year and checking wristbands on entry to the campsite from the arena. You'll just have to see on the day tbh

I went to Reading last year and so can't speak about Leeds, but at Reading you had to show your tickets and get your wristband before you actually got on site if I recall correctly. I know before festival republic were the promoters you would go in, set up and then go to wristband exchange and you caould do it. Also at Reading, and at Dowload last year the on-site security were doing random checks on peoples wristbands. On the Friday night and Saturday morning as security were doing theire rounds as they came past our tents they asked us to show our wristbands to check we were all weekend ticket holders.

You could do it easily, it's just a bit of a piss take if you get your mate to put up a tent for you where people with a valid ticket could have pitched. If you're kipping in with someone else and don't start throwing things about you should be fine though.
