LEEDS FEST - How busy will security/wristband tent be early on thursday?

[FN27622]

Just wondering how busy the whole gate process will be early on Thursday morning. We're planning on getting there around 6am so the person bringing me beats the traffic, but I just wondered how security is eg how busy, how they search people. Last year I walked past security but that was early entry Wednesday and I'm sure it will be different

If there are quite a few people entering at the same time as you, the spot checks will be randomised to help ease the crowds but if it's just you walking through, chances are you will have your bag searched and possibly ID checked if you have a lot of alcohol and look underage.

I worked at the wristband exchange at Rachel's gate to the West this year, according to some of the other management the queues were smaller than Lord Bingely's gate to the West of the site + it's easier to get to blue/red campsites which seemed the better ones.
