So how do we get beer into the arena?

[FluffyBeanie]

I have just bought a 7oz hip flask from ebay. That is equivalent to about 8 25ml shots. It will be filled with bacardi each day and then stowed neatly away just below my waistband. Mixed with coke once in the arena - happy days!

I am going to try and take at least 4 hipflasks full of vodka. If raining i will conceal mini bottles of wine under my poncho. Hope they don't pat me down or i may have to get testy with them stewards

bottle down front of my jeans held in pace with my waistline eassy although i do like alot of the ideas on here

OK cool, let me know how it goes :-)

lol how on earth did you think of that one? Did you just drill a hole in the bottom?

Last year a couple of friends also emptied out some pump hairspray bottles (they did have to clean them a few times though) and then filled with vodka. So if you see a group of us spraying what looks like V05 into our mouth we aren't as mad as we first seem

Why wouldn't security be suspicious that you're taking several bottles of hairspray in with you?

send your mate inside the arena, and then lob your booze over the fence to them.

Just make sure you find a part where there is no security.

Shimples.

I have a 100ml pump body spray bottle, if i rinse it out loads i could fill with desired clear spirit, and maybe add a drop of food coloured for desired body spray colour, i'll just have to make sure i don't spray myself with it lol!

Why is this turning into The Great Escape, you'll be jumping the fence on a motorbike next, it all depends on the security bloke, some pat you down, some can't be bothered to look in your bag.

If you have a hipflask you can drop it inside a wellie, in an inner pocket of your daysack or whatever.

I have only ever seen people with cans getting stopped, never had to taste my drink or anything like that.

Great idea Staff's posted this to give the first timers some tips

Have I missed something!! Why are you not allowed to bring beer into the arena?

they have never allowed it, its a commercial festival and they want you to buy it inside. Its a pain but you have to accept it. most people sneak it in as you will see above in various ways!

[staffsknot]

I don't think it's so much as turning into the great escape, people are probably just filling the time between now and V having a bit of light hearted banter about thinking up new and interesting foolproof ways to get pissed in the arena. Maybe we should all get a bit more serious and try to put a downer on everything thats posted on here....

[MilkyJoe]

Actually it was meant as a tongue in cheek comment mate, but the smiley didn't take... not trying to put a downer on anyone.

[cherries82]
