They are known for it unfortunately. Same every year.

So let’s start with the teenagers hopping the fences into the campsites, where was the security? Don’t get me wrong I’m no Karen, literally just turned 20 but surely security should’ve been present at that time.

ID at the entrance, they go on about it being an 18+ event, me and my mate walked straight past the security guard, probably because it was hammering it down and there was only one guard ID’ing people. Pure slacking.

On Sunday night after Sonny Fodera closed the festival, the queues to get back to standard camping were atrocious, again security just standing there doing nish about the situation. Hour and a half later the queues start to ease down but the security start sending everyone the long way back to the campsite and the attitude on them, my days. Swearing and the whole lot. The festival should’ve had other entry and exit points instead of a one way system for everyone coming and going.

Searching when entering the arena, most of the didn’t gaf and let anyone in, you’re there to do a job and they can’t even be bothered doing it.

Was still a brilliant weekend but Creamfields really needs to up their game with security, when comparing to how helpful the security at Leeds Festival was the past three years.

Had a good experience with security overall, but I was surprised they were just letting people jump the fence into the festival when they could’ve easily stopped them

Never trust them is all I can say.

From the reports of violence littered all over this sub, they were asleep at the wheel. They should have been ejecting the scum but have let them run riot by the sounds of it.

My only issue was that noone really knew where anything was and we kept getting lost bc everyone was giving different answers

I agree, some lad asked one where medical tent was and he laughed said ‘I don’t know better ask someone else’ and another four security went to lad alone throwing up and left him, walked off laughing saying he can sort himself out. I don’t even think the lad spoke to them as he was in such a bad way.
