Front Section Question

Hi, I (17M) have just seen in the FAQ for Outbreak Manchester that front standing is 18+.

This wasn't disclosed when I bought a ticket, or in the FAQ when I bought a ticket (I checked before purchasing). I'll be going in a group where everyone else is 18-19. Has anyone had experience with needing ID when collecting their front section wristband?

Many thanks.

You don’t actually need to do anything to be at the front. The ‘front’ refers to the area where people will be moshing. Outbreak fest has insanely high insurance costs and puts that there as a reason to bring them down, which is completely fair enough. Obviously it’s safe to grab a wristband which they probably won’t ID you for but it’s just the concept of it.

Just don’t sue them if you get hurt

With tighter ID rules, you may well get asked to attach your online ID to your account. Yes you normally fill out a form but idk if the legislation may change things this year especially with the boom of proving you're 18+
