Take a look at the FAQ
http://www.stagecoachfestival.com/event/rules-faq

"What about bringing in my medical prescription? example: Diabetic insulin?
You should identify yourselves to security while waiting to enter the venue. Security will locate the medical folks adjacent to the main entrance, and they will assist you in storing and providing a secure area for diabetics. ALL medical prescriptions and accompanying names on those containers will need to match the person's proper ID."

I too am - and it's never been a problem or even asked. The search is more for the dangerous drinks like Water - and weapons - like professional cameras. Don't worry - should be no problem.

WOW, this is an EXCELLENT question... I too am diabetic and have never considered restrictions getting into the festival area with insulin and supplies.

My recommendation is to not bring more than you anticipate needing such as needles. I know my stuff is ultra expensive and I would hate to lose it.

If for what ever reason you run into a problem with your medications while here, feel free to contact me and I will give you any help I can.

Enjoy the concert.
