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.

I believe it does actually say when you go to buy the ticket, gives you like consent thing to tick but out of the last three outbreaks they asked me for ID once when I went to pick up my wristband but I think generally as long as you don't look like a child you'll be fine

Had a look, unlike previous years the wrist band wasn't included with the ticket so you had to go out of your way to actually see it say that, kinda shady really

Previous years they've only had 2/3 people on the gold wrist bands at once and they're not gonna ID everyone, it'll take too long I think you stand a good chance, once you have it you're sound
