blagging your way into oxegen

joejoem

I did this last year, I just paid yerman at the entrance to the campsite the extra money and got in. Two friends of mine have Saturday tickets but want to do this. Has anyone heard of tightening on security or that?

We do this most years you just go down and wait by the fence then when its clear just make a break for it simple

joejoem

cool, whats the best time to try it

amazingemmet

You can go for it anytime. Basically there's usually a fence the a grass section then another fence and there's people patrolling the grass bit so just wait for them to be out of site or far away then just go for it. you might get caught a couple of times trying but eventually you'll get in. If you wait til its dark its simple as they can't see you. just remember pick your moment then don't hesitate

just remember pick your moment then don't hesitate

also be mindful of the force.

No idea yet. My bro is a printer but seeing as they are fabric I think I need a new plan of action. Might just try to leg it in.

Sounds like a plan. How high are these fences and how difficult would it be to jump em in the dark of the night?

Take it

Like i have tickets but just day ones but all my mates are in camping so i just wanna get into camping is that where the fences are ? if so then see you there gobby :P in the dark of the night running full speed at the fences ... to drunk to jump and smashing into them :P i wont see you but ill hear you and ull hear me :P haha

Dang. Thats gonna make it a bit harder to get in. :mad:

Take it

being honest i doubt the gaurds are getting off there arses for dogy tickets, i know security has been upped since the england bombs, thats why i had to get late tickets, i had it sorted that id be getting in free but then the day of the bombs i got a phonecall that securitys changed and i wouldnt be able to get in with my mate. So all the sniffer dogs and cops will be looking for bombs not drunking gob****es running at fences ... have an old top maybe dark green, jump the fence, run into the crowd and drop the top :P have like a red top under it :P sorted

Christ people! Try to keep boardsie out of your illegal activities. There is a time and place for everything, and that place is IRC.

I heard the bands were green white and orange....Either way there material.How the **** will I copy that!!!!

BrianD

Yes. I've seen them ...quite fetching! The first thing I thought is that the people with the coloured paper are in trouble. Even the laminates are odd looking.

Get the sewing machine out

carpothepunk

my mum made bands,but i only went friday,sat and last night

Jonathanpbk

well, i'm just back after an incredible weekend... anyway, 3 of my mates got fake tickets by accident, so one went up to a garda and said he got mugged and his ticket was robbed and they took him over and gave him a band for free!! he deserved it though, paying 200 and getting ripped.
the other 2 just got bands from us and got in easy!

Same kindof think happened with my brother.

He lost his ticket in the carpark on the way in and went up to a guard. The guard took him in to the campsite in the back of a paddy wagon! Then the next day gave him a free band. Thank god for the Gardai...!!

Seemd like there were a lot of hooky tickets around, I saw loads of people turned away. I heard a security guy say "I can tell you the exact barcode on that ticket by looking at it"

Chardee MacDennis

i didnt understand all the people that bought tickets in the car park off dodgy guys, most tickets were the worst fakes id ever seen. it was very stupid especially when tickets were availble at the gate for a little over face price.

Available from who?

Chardee MacDennis

staff at the gate. ticket collectors

Nidge

i would have liked to have known that, but i mean how did people find this out? you go up they ask for a ticktet you say you don't have one then they give you one?

you mean they were making money on the sly or they were officially selling tickets?

gobby

What a weekend. Got in using a dodgy ticket. My bro had a ticket from the same fella and didnt get in at the gate. Was okay tho cos we were able to sneak him in. Great weekend.

Chardee MacDennis

officially selling them. if you asked a ticket collector they should be able to sort you out, and if they say no, then tell em to ask their supervisor. so you should know for next year. although i wouldnt personally take the risk, and i would just buy a ticket on time...

Just goes to show that even when its sold out its actually not sold out at all...

Chardee MacDennis

slightly different at a festival, its the only place i have heard of it happening, def doesnt happen at gigs in point, croker, lansdowne, or any indoor arena...

gary the great

One of my mates had a ticket he bought through buy and sell and reciept included, then when he went up to the gate the barcode reader beeped, and he was informed it was a ticket bought with a stolen credit card and he wasnt getting in and he had to wait for the Garda to come. The Garda didnt come so he had to show id to the security supervisor and he took his name and address and phone number. And we all chipped in and gave the supervisor 150euro to let him go in. Bastards id say they were making a fortune. Do you reckon the guards will follow this up?

Excellant weekend!

Chardee MacDennis

they prob wont coz the amount of names and addresses they took for drugs confiscations would be more important and they prob wont even follow those up...

Toast

I met many people in there without bands and theres plenty of stories here and on the official site of the same sort of lark.

Eventually the numbers in there are going to rise so high people will be in danger and the festival will be denied its license. May take years but its inevitable.

Chardee MacDennis

people with one day tickets dont get passes, so that would explain the lack of bands...
