alex1234 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 me and my friends are attending leeds for the first time, just wondering if we will be asked for i.d on the way in? as we will be having a crate each. also, what are the searches like at the entrance?

Vieuphoria Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 First of all, how old are you? If you are, and look younger than 21 they'll more than likely ask for ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriseede Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 If you're getting there on Wednesday with everybody else, you could ask somebody to carry it in for you (that is assuming you're underage which you must be to be asking this question). I got there on Thursday evening last year and wasn't searched at all, but it all just depends on how they're feeling at the time, so there's no way of telling whether they'll ID/search you.

Luke Routledge Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have never been IDed while entering the festival, just remember if you are getting crates that you need to get tins rather than bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lharris92 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 if they decide to randomly search you then they might ask for id if you look younger than 21. on my way in the red gate in 2010 there was a fair amount of confiscated booze - mind you a fair amount of that was because it was glass bottles.

alex1234 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Cheers everyone. Don't want to waste like £30 on booze if it's just going to be taken off of us. I think we might just ask someone to carry it in for us, as we are going up on the Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prufrock Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Never been ID'd for my own booze and I went in for the first time at the age of 15.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calzum Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yeah i was 16 when i first went and was carrying in booze and nothing has ever been taken off of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 really depends. My friend had a bag full of cans and he was 17 and the security guard just said ' have a good time, looks like you will'. another got them taken of him but said he could have them back. As long as you do not bring in stupid amounts it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAD HARRY 27 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Last year I had only just turned 16 a month earlier, they searched my bag, took out a crate of Stella, some budweisers, a litre of vodka and orange and a bottle of tequila... Then they give me it all back without even rasing an eyebrow, took out a deodorant can and told me that I can't take it onto camp because its too big and that it could be a health hazard.

RichieParf Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Vodka in a water bottle. Discrete AND a space saver. I can't be dealing with warm beers in the sun anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mean Bean Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't think they give a shit, it's not what they're looking for, they're more after gas canisters and drugs. If they stop you anyway they might take it off you if they can be bothered, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg123 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Mate of mine got randomly searched back in 2010 and they just took the weed off him. Not sure how they would react to heavier stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieuphoria Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've had weed on me before and a sniffer dog came up to sniff my feet. I shat myself. But the police officer just told me to be on my way. I guess the dog didn't smell anything? But still. I would assume the dogs are more there as a way of deterrent.

lharris92 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 the thing with police dogs is if they get a scent they will be jumping up at you and barking. seen it happen when i was on my way to a gig, was quite funny to see as well.
