Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Friends of mine realized they had overpacked when, after a long weekend of heavy swilling, left Lockn with more than the legal limit on board! I saw one group of cars get sent over for full cavity search due to excess beer but they were acting like idiots after the first car carrying multiple cases in the boxes was popped, and started trying to distribute it among their Guido friends in other cars, holding up the line and exceeding the off-duty cop's patience. Next car also had a boxed case and 12 pack but eased in because the driver was cute. Never bring in boxed cases and decant your liquor!

Alcohol Limits & Lockn' App
Post by rastarichie on Aug 2, 2018 13:30:22 GMT -5
1) The alcohol limitation seams a bit excessive for a 4 day GA RV festival pass holder (Quote: "Two (2) cases of beer, Two (2) plastic bottles of 1.75 L liquor, Two (2) boxes of wine PER VEHICLE..."). Any thoughts or experience out there that may shed some light on this? Is this targeted at a daily pass holder? That I could understand. But 4 people in an RV camped out for 4+ days will burn through that pretty quickly. Thoughts, suggestions, tips/tricks are much appreciated.
2) I noticed ther is a "LOCKN' Festival 2017" app in the Apple App store. Anyone know if there are plans to release a 2018 version? I've found these to be quite helpful in the past (mainly to keep me from getting lost )
Thanks in advance. Can't wait!

The rare exception, but it does happen, is that the searchers will actually count everything and confiscate the overage.
The key to getting through the search process is to be discreet and cooperative. Open one beer cooler and say, "here's my beer cooler" and have the beer loose in it. They probably won't look further. Have your liquor in different bottles in different places. Scatter the beer, too. If I had liquor at home in a glass bottle and wanted to take it, I might just pour it into an empty plastic tonic water bottle and leave the label on.
In my 3x experience they were more concerned about glass than anything.
We intentionally do not reveal smuggling techniques on the forum, because everyone here follows the rules like good campers.
Check out the RV info, too, but on the question of searches, they don't allow knives of any kind, or glass glasses, and many rental RV's come with them, so be sure to leave them behind.

Absolutely make sure you have NO glass around. If they find any glass at all, you'll be in for a much more intensive/invasive search. I guess they're going on the assumption that if you're going to ignore one contraband rule you're likely to ignore all of them.

Good veteran advice for dealing with security checks. I have a jarhead haircut so people think I’m a narc, so that helps. I also dress nice and clean cut. Once I get in I tear that shit off like Superman and get my freak on .
