Getting into a festival for free: A blaggers' guide
Fancy a free festival? Then here are 10 alternatives to actually paying (or jumping the fence)
Press blagging: Our personal favourite (obviously). By working as press not only do you get to go to the festival for free but you also get the chance to take photos and interview some of the biggest and coolest names in music. If you aren't already a journalist, then why not think about starting starting up your own website or blog, and blagging it from there?

From festival volunteering, to pouring pints and even arriving in style as the band's plus one, there are loads of alternatives to getting into a festival without having to pay the extortonate ticket prices.
Here's ten of our favourite ways of blagging it into a festival.
