So how do we get beer into the arena?

[Bread]

This is my first year camping at V but i did go for a day in 2003 to see muse. Have been T the past four years and then i always managed to sneak it in in a bag with a jacket either side of it to cover the feel of it and a few decoy hard things so if they do feel anything i can say its this deodrant can or whatever, reckon this would work at V or are they a bit more strict than the scots?

If your wellies are big enough you can stick a can down the side of either leg. Has worked for me the last few years

If u have deep coat pockets, put bottles in them, or take a bag with ya, take 3 spare tops, but one on the front, one on the back n one on the top to cover it so it looks n feels like u aint got beer with ya

Since im 16 and dont drink yet, i smuggled loads of bottles of coke in with me and they didnt even batter an eyelid

[bekimo]

They don't care. Honestly. If you can't get booze in at V, then you're an idiot quite frankly!

[Soley!]

We used camel packs last year. No trouble, and are useful in crowds just straight up drink from ya guch(or wherever you hide it!).

wat about goin in to the camp site!?! gessing they only go throug ur tent bags etc every 10 so person?? no problems geting in the glass bottles?

[headshrinker1979]

gettin beer into the arena is easy, as is getting glass bottles into the campsite. V don't give a shit about anything else except getting every last £££££££££ out of you before you go home!!!

Do they have them bar type places at V?

[Alexx (:]

Yes, there are bars. Quite of few of them, I'm sure someone will give you a list of where they usually are if you ask nicely!

[Mr Nasty]

its so easy at V. It helps if you walk up to security with an empty can and play dumb asking if its ok to take the can in. This distracts security from the fact you've got an off licence in your pants

[Sean&]

I'll ask nicely

Spirits are easiest usually as you need a smaller quantity

Boobs/bras are good to hide things, as as down baggy trousers legs/in wellies. Just make sure you fasten bottles (plastic.. obv!) tightley!

Loving the sneaky beaky angle on this but yeah a platypus water bladder or similar is easy done, they don't taste them anymore.

I think this is one of those forum threads where its lucky that V staff can't be bothered to read it... unlike the police and motorbike forums where they mysteriously appear on all the routes people are using...

A camel pack hidden discreatly about your person always works.

I hid a 2 ltr one filled with vodka and mixer everyday in the lining of my bag... just made a whole in the zip pocket and slipped it in and filled it up.

The security checked my bag everyday...one of them even felt it but they never found it.

last year we camped on red and just kept going back forth for beer. we took plastic pint cups and filled them up with beer/wine/whatever we had in the tent and just walked straight in with them, they checked our bags but didn't bother about the drinks in our hands, we did this all weekend and didn't realise we weren't meant to until we got home and checked these forums!

Sad fact is I got patted down by the shifty looking security guard (read dribbling pervert who's job was also his hobby) so any woman was bound to be rubbed up by the weirdo, probably the same bloke! Completely ignored my bag but intently searched me like I was going to a plane and had gaffa taped explosives to me - was just glad he didn't have any gloves on him

[DeadAmos]

I also got patted down , I must of looked shifty with my baggy trousers , the bloke stood up and said on your way with a friendly pat on the back . Thats when he found the camel bag , OOOPPPPssss

[bekimo]

they were very strict last year - my mate got found out having them down her pants and she had her cardi round her waist so it would not be obvious unless he felt her - which he did! i took the foil bag out of a box of wine in the bottom of my bag and put 'ladies' products on top so they wouldn't root through. =]

[cherries82]

ooo the security guards are feeling people up ...how rude!..lol

last year i saw some guy get throughwith a poncho on then take it off later to reveal cans taped all over his body! under arm pits down back arms legs crotch it was silver masking tape and it did look rather funny!!
