Answer 1

hi you i cant see where you coming from and It does sound silly and stuip but the electric picnic was always an over 18 event and reading the add the only thing i can think of that they are letting under 12`s in free is for (1) if anything happen to the under 12`s at the event they will tell you there not insured and (2) the planners of the event looks like they want the age group of 18 - 30/35 looking at the add you have linked with this question i would not support it you cant block out one age group from  the event for fairness to all i do think the planners should allow the 13 - 17 age group accompanied by the same age group as the under 12 what if you had to good friends 1 wont be 12 till the event is over and the other will be 12 on or just before the event

Answer 2

Theres no mistake thats just how the Electric Picnic is run. Its aimed at adults and families (adults with young children not teens). Teens are purposfully excluded. I prefer Oxegen. The Elcetric Picnic is supposed to be more adult and have a better atmostshpere in my experience the atmostshpere at Oxegen is much better.

Answer 3

Only children under 12 can attend with adults.  Children aged 13-17 are not permitted to attend.

Answer 4

Sure nobody takes any notice of that malarkey!

Answer 5

I agree with you it does seem stupid, that a 12 year old can go accompanied by an adult, but 13 to 17 year old can't go even if accompanied by an adult. I am sure there must be some mistake on that link. i really can't see the point of that at all. But that is what it clearly states.
