Disabled ticketholders have described their experience at Wireless Festival as 'disheartening and a waste of time and money'. Read more:
The music fans say the more they got on to the festival site, "the worse the access was".
Lexi's wheelchair has an attachment which makes it easier to go through rough and bad surfaces, but she was still unable "to go up the ramp because it didn't have grip".Image source,Lexi credits a security guard for making "a little area for us so we can see the stage", but feels provisions should have been there "in the first instance".
"It's very sad and upsetting. We wanted to celebrate together with our friends, so for us to go there and be so far away from other people, it wasn't an enjoyable experience at all for us."She feels most of the workers were "completely unbothered, incompetent, somewhat hostile to any sort of request we have".
Lexi says previous Wireless Festivals were "well-organised" with access guides and information sent beforehand.Image caption,Both Lexi and Katouche will be at Finsbury Park for Wireless next weekend, and are hoping things will improve. The festival's organisers Live Nation and Festival Republic have not yet responded to Newsbeat's request for comment, but they have offered a refund to Lexi."We do hope this experience does not put you off attending one of our festivals in the future where hopefully you are able to have a more positive experience and judge us in a better light."
