We are festival, entry

[Tom-Davis]

I'm planning on going to We are festival in may ( which is 18 and over event)I'm 17 I look quite young but I'll be going with other 17 year olds who look older and most have valid IDs borrowd from older brothers and friends. 

Has anyone been before, what are the ID and security checks like on entry, are they bouncers and scanners, will I get through with my fake ID ?

I've worked security at the event, you won't get in with fake ID

Are there ID scanners on entry ?

I've just looked at the festival website and it says;

Every ticket purchased has an allocated name and matching photo I.D will be required in order to gain entry to the We Are FSTVL site.

 

I gather from this that if security is tight, then not even your mates with borrowed ID will get in unless they actually look like their older brothers. As for those using a mates false ID then the chances of getting in are even slimmer.
