I've seen my mates Reading Ticket with her name on it: "Miss ...." I was thinking of buying a ticket off Ebay as theres suddenly loads of them there, but what if I get a ticket with "Miss so and so"?? Would that invalidate the ticket as they would obviously figure out that I bought if off an unofficial dealer??
In other words do the ticket holders and the ticket information have to match??

Cool, Cheers guys... thats very helpful.
It doesnt matter at all about the name.
If you get a blokes name thats pretty generic "pat henderson" then you're all set.
If you're a big ginger scotsman and you get the name "Vingsheed Patel" then it's unlikely to be you - but do not fret! Just tell them your good friend, Vingsheed, was going to come but at the last minute he fell ill so gave you his ticket. They dont care. The same for a female name on the ticket - tell them your female friend/mum/sister fell ill and sent you instead. It does actually happen, they cannot disprove it - as long as the ticket is valid.
That is if they even look. If you've been to a non-festival gig you'll have seen 10,000 people cramming into a stadium - they only glance at the ticket enough to see that it's genuine and pull the stub off - they almost certainly will not look at the name.
Oh and if you do go, promise me you'll go see Thrice. Good boy.

Someone on another forum said they're ticket had arrived, that was a few days ago, but no-one else I've spoken to has recieved them. Usually they come a week or so before...
Has anybody's tickets arrived yet? Because I bought off eBay and am getting considerably paranoid about my tickets not arriving...!
Erm, last year tickets had no names on them I'm pretty sure...? I bought mine last year off a mate who'd bought a bunch for other people and had two or something left over. I remember no name on the ticket.
Also, even if it is wrong gender, people buy more than one ticket because they buy for friends as that reduces the postage you have to pay and whatnot. So if there is a name, and they do pick up that it's a Mrs (which is pretty unlikely I'd think anyway), just say a mate bought it for you. They can't exactly prove it was bought off Ebay.

I seriously doubt they will check the name. When we went last year, our tickets weren't even checked on the way to the campsite. They don't really care to be honest.
ha can't really be a prob especially if your young and can't really be expected to have id. as long as it matches your sex and age. and your name isn't dave jones and the ticket is made out to supat rungratsmee (name courtesy of champo legend!)
Yeah, obviously the title will give it away, but other than that, not much else. If the surname looks unlikely, just say you were the offspring of a marriage or whatever. And of course make sure your mates call you by the name on the ticket, until you're through.
