Money

[Bradders]

That's actually all pretty good advice. I must have smuggled in 100 cans now over the past few years (1 down each welly at a time) and I've never been caught. It's easy to see but they don't really look at the back of your ankles.

We managed to get a load of 500ml refillable pouches from poundland. I've never been patted down at Reading so i just put them in the waistband of my jeans.

The people searching on the gates have found cans on me several times before and let me through with them. Not sure I've ever actually had cans taken off me before (although I wouldn't deny it happens). Just be smart and don't try to smuggle too much in

Usually spend around £150 in total, around £50 on Tuesday night at ASDA buying beer, toiletries etc.

I never take food with me & never buy merch, don't tend to buy beer from the arena that often around 7 pints over the whole weekend, tend to stick to Chinese food, especially rice dishes as they seem to be a fair bit cheaper (£3.50 - £6) I've never had a problem with money, all though I have always ran out by Monday morning.

Actually I reckon you're telling fibs on your 5th post in...

I didn't get cans taken off me at Bestival last year and I was being kind of obvious about them at times (drinking from), but my experiences at Reading have been that they're a lot stricter. The lax rules at Bestival last year seemed to be an exception for my experiences.

Bestival is different, I too have walked in with cans (cider, Crunk Juice, Red Bull hanging out my back pockets+been seen) & not had problems there. I like that about Bestival. Reading... no chance of being let through if "caught". I reckon he's tried to smuggle through a lie & got caught.
