Oxegen, help?

Sorry to bother everyone but Im going to Oxegen this year with my mates camping and Im 17 years old, now Ive checked Oxegen.ie and ticketmaster but nobody will give me a straight answer. Is there an age requirement for camping, will I be allowed camp since Im 17? Ive tried asking this at Oxegen.ie but there are some real b*stards who just jerk you around.

well according to the two day camping tickets under 17's must be with a guardian. you shud be fine and enen if you were under 17 i cant say i remember them ever asking people for id!

you should be grand if you look 17 lol, if your mates are over 18 your grand.

my mates are ranging from 17-24, thanks for the straight answer! apparently some girl got raped last year according to people on oxegen.ie so they will be tightening up on security etc. Im also hearing stuff about Consent forms and guardians being over 25?! is this all ****e or?

to be honest i was only down there sunday evening last year and the security didnt seem rigorous but i was ther friday to monday the year before and at no point do i remember age ever being an issue.

All the security were interested in was your armband and not much else but i dont know bout this rape thing so maybe they have tightened up

Hey buddy, Ill be 17 going too. You'll be grand. Almost everyone on Oxegen.ie is full of crap, they make up stories. Ignore them.

Ye ill be 17 goin there... My mates are all 17 and 18 too so I think there will be no probs.. They all went last year and they said they werent ask once...
You'll be fine.. Dont worry!

I'll be 17 aswell going. Was 16 last year and got in easily. Its fine. Even then, if security is tightened after this alleged rape, i will still get in cos my friends are all 19 and 20.

Im on the Oxegen boards aswell, and yes they do deliver some amount of crap, but thats cos they come across the same questions at the same every year by hundreds of new people. Hopefully im not like that though. I tend to ignore the continuous questions. This is also the first iv heard of any rape since last years one aswell.

Been to witnness/oxegen 4 times, last year was my first time bein over 18. Only got asked for ID and made fill out a consent form one time, that was when I was 15. They marked my hand too so I couldn't buy drink. [Washed off no problem]
