[Closed] Door staff confiscating food on entry to events

I have a choice of pleading diabetic or coeliac, depends on what sort of event it is. If they do catering and it's a long day, I'll go coeliac. If not then diabetic.

I made the cardboard tube from the middle of a roll of carpet into a giant leek, then we loaded cans of Long Life into the tube and took it into Cardiff Arms Park for a Four Nations match.

Never has beer tasted so good

😀

The version I was told at a concert was there was a risk of people re-capping the bottles (full of unmentionable liquid) and then throwing them into crowds. Though I expect "we can make more money" is more likely.

Regardless, it's easily solved by sticking a spare cap in your pocket before you go through "security".

For a couple of hours? Nah, it's more easily solved by just not taking water into the venue.
It's far more likely that you'll get bottles of piss being lobbed around at a festival, because they've had hours to drink beer, and it's too far to walk to the bogs, and walk back.
Or else they just piss down the back of your legs. Or Prodigy fans do, at any rate. In my experience, anyway.

Free water on request is a mandatory condition of the licensing (scotland) act 2005 & the licensing act 2003
