Always tokens for the bars in DL, except for those in the guest pass area, but never had much of a queue at all, of course those nearest the gates fill up as soon as they open, but you just don't go to those walk a bit further and you will be sorted...

Remember in 09 I think it was when I walked in and got told by the bar staff on the bar I walked up to that they could only serve people with a challenge 21 wrist band on... Now I am in my 30s now and probably look older so asked if they were having a laugh as I hadn't brought any form of ID with me for security reasons and he said "Nope, doesn't matter what you look like, have to have your ID checked and have a wrist band before we serve you, its a new policy" left there thinking if thats the case a full scale riot will kick off in about 3 minutes... Walked to the next token seller and got lots of tokens straight off... Bloody jobsworth...

ANYWAY, back on topic, getting tokens has never been an issue for me and as for running out of beer??? Good heavens above, don't think that is too much of an issue either, have to say that as far as getting served is concerned Download has never been an issue and have always had drinks as and when I wanted them without any queues... Only the bloody Calzone has the queue!

Why do they even have tokens? What is the supposed advantage of them? It certainly isn't because they are easier.

Also, I remember last year I was in a round of 4 and it came to £16, every time I went to the bar they would say 'you can have 5 for £20 if you like'. Not the best special deal i've ever been offered.
