I_thought_it_was_ok Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 Hi folks, Long story short, I have a friend who was meant to transfer his Staff/Performer tickets to my name, but forgot and has now received the tickets in the post with his name. These tickets do not have photos on them, but do have a a name, the wrong name. Can anyone let me know the process for picking up the tickets, is ID required or do I just enter, via the blue gate I believe, and swap for a wrist band no questions asked? If ID is required is it photo ID and if so does it have to be a specific type of ID? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks all! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip997 Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 We regularly change names on staff tickets when someone has to drop out at the last minute. Shouldn’t be a problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_thought_it_was_ok Posted June 12 Author Report Share Posted June 12 Thanks Skip! Wouldn't you have to have the tickets reissued with the correct name or do they just not check ID for Staff/Performer tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy92 Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 It’s worth getting him to contact the person who issued the tickets to them to see what they can do. They do ask for ID for tickets that are named (hospitality for example I’ve had to show photo ID that matched the ticket) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never had ID checked, but I do arrive early 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimps Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 There is a process in place to cover this situation, that whoever originally gave the names to GFL will know all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnkrtn Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 There’s defo a process - it won’t necessarily need a new name on it but they do check. Your mate will need to contact whoever the issuer is and they can sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadeOfGlastonburys Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Heya, I've gone in via hospitality and crew before - they will ask for photo ID showing the name that corresponds to the ticket name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helsbels Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 One of our group got a Staff/Performer ticket via a friend of a friend and has the same issue (she has a traders stall). She did ask for a copy of his passport at the time so sure it will be fine and he's going to ask her. My question is however does he have to go in a different gate from us normal punters on Wednesday does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been told a resolute No you don't need ID each time, and we will just issue your band on check in as we know who you are and your party's names ! Still think I'm going to keep my driving licence on me to be on the safe side though 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
