Although if they just opened the gates due to the emerging barcode shambles, perhaps they couldn't capture the full extent of the issues. The website does seem a tad bullish and pretty much inconsistent with fans' experiences though. "Sunday once again proved that forgeries will not be accepted." - er, what does just opening the gates letting people in anyway count as then?
Certain passes are still not working. This is mainly because they have the incorrect data on them eg. an adult pass printed as a junior pass etc. After checking, those that proved to be forged or attempted to be used twice were turned away, whilst those with genuine passes that didn't work, were let in 'un-scanned'.
So the system is working reasonably well at this stage. It was a poor turn out on sunday, no doubt, but it wasn't helped by the fact that a number of genuine passholders attended, but weren't recorded on the 'official' attendance.
