Buy Alcohol

[Hesse]

To buy alcohol at the festival, Do you have to be 18 or 21?

Thanks

18 like the rest of the country

You'll probably be ID'd if you look younger than 25 (definitely 21) though, so keep some with you.

They're not amazingly strict with ID at the bars though, especially if it's busy.

My friends managed to get served this year (2 being 17 and one being 16) and didn't get ID'd at all.

But obviously it helps to be of legal age, 18.

At Download you can get these plastic wristbands to say your over the age of 18?

Can you at Glastonbury??

As it will be handy so you can leave your ID in safe keeping!

There is two problems -

{ 1 } in order for wrist bands to be acceptable the authorities have to approve the procedure so just because one event has them does not mean that the same scheme will be approved at Glastonbury.

Don't seem very strict on ID from my experience this year about 15 of us all 17 got served no problem not even questioned except one person. They were more careful at the shop type places when buying rizla and the like.
