17 on freshers week

Are you getting a card?

I'll be 17 when I go to university too. I'm going to Manchester or Bradford. I have a fake ID though which says I'm 18, so I'm all right I think

So im starting Glasgow uni in september and just reieved a application for a freshers week pass. The only problem is that im only 17 on freshers week, would paying the £35 for this pass still grant me access to all the gigs and partys and activicties advertised. I dont wanna spend £35 on a pass and end up not being able to go to any evening events as im not 18.

Thanks

How did that happen?

And has the id been tested? Nothing worse than going out and being turned down and having to go somewhere else (happened on my mates 21st recently).

I've been part of the FW organisation for Glasgow in the past. What we'll do is issue everyone that has ID on them with a wristband when they go into the unions. Only those with wristbands can buy alcohol and the staff of the unions are allowed to eject you from the premises if you're seen drinking without a wristband. That's the way it's worked in the past, but I haven't checked exactly what the QM/GUU are up to this year with it- I imagine it'll be the same. In practice, they don't really check all that much- just don't make it too obvious otherwise you'll be one of the unlucky ones thrown out.

So the solution is to make friends with a tee-totaler and get them to give/sell you their wristband with a bit of Sellotape to attach it.

Cool.
