age limit for wacken (minors) Please Help!!!

If someone in my travel group is 17 years old, is there a letter that he has to get signed by his parents so that he can stay on the festival grounds untill past midnight? because at earthshakerfest he must have a letter. I've been looking on the wacken site for such a letter but cant find it.

and we fly out tomorrow morning lol so please help!!

thanks

theoretically you ought to have a letter like that - but no one is checking it. Wellllllll.........guess if the parents of that 17 year old guy know that you're going to Wacken and if they agree to this, it wouldn't even be that much of a problem if you're really "caught" and somebody asks you why you don't have that letter with you......perhaps they'd just agree to calling the parents, to hear them say: yeah it's OK that our son is in Germany with those guys

after all: nobody will ask you for your age ;)

earthshaker make them have letters?!?!? that's insane!

hello, they're at the festival! I can just seeing parents say, "how Holger, you can go to Earthshaker, but you must promise me not to drink, not to have sex and definitely do not stay up past 11 pm!!" :rolleyes:

As I now, DONG does the same. It depends on the Jugendamt" (What's that in English?) It appears to have s.t. to do with insurance or whatever. I don't know.

ok Quark explain insurance issues makes it clearer...in Australia we know too well what hassles insurance makes - one year our metal festival was cancelled because of insurance issues

The age limit has something to do with the fact and if your under 18/16 not responsible enough to be on your own, and that your character isnt strong enough to say no to drinking to much, taking drugs and doing other irresponsible stuff.

Jugendschutz Ab/bis 16 Jahre: gemäß dem neuen Jugendschutzgesetz könnt ihr, wenn ihr noch keine 16 Jahre alt seid, mit einer Begleitperson eurer Wahl zum WOA kommen, benötigt aber die Einverständnis eurer Eltern.

Well, I see there must be a new law in germany or something...(tsss, stupid Germans, first a 'pfand' on cans, now this...what's next?:))but anyway, that is when you're (younger than) 16 so there is still no problem:)
