What are the chances of me getting in? I'm 17, I've got the tickets, now all I need is to get in.[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img] The person I'm going with is over 18.
Anyone else in the same boat? Anyone else been in this situation? What happened? Any advice for getting in? {I got into Witnness-2003 NO problem (and Witnness was just like one giant bar with a bit of music thrown in for good measure!) and also into every 18's movie I've ever tried to get into since I was 15. } [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] Edited by: eskimo_friendly |

A fellow moderator from a Damien Dempsey board, who was 16 at the time, recently got in with *no* problems whatsoever. Nobody even asked him anything. [img]smileys/smiley20.gif[/img]

I'm having the same problem.
i emailed DMR and asked and they said that unfortunatly there was no was i'd be allowed in and offered to give me a refund but everyone i've been talking to says that vicar st arent very strict on the door for big gigs and i should have no problem getting in. the thing is i'm 16 but look younger, the girls i'm goin with are 16 too

Go for it I'd say.I'm underage and have never got turned away if I had a ticket,well once but I just ran past the bouncer anyway and it was the day that sh*tty new law came in bout under 21's having id.Walk in with a group of older people if your really nervous,most people wont mind.Slap on the make-up fiona that always works![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Yeah, i cant see them being too strict. In most cases at gigs they just seem tofocus on taking your ticket off you, and keeping the queue moving.When ever i went to a gig and was under agei was never stopped.

wow....for a little while there i was afraid i was one of his youngest fans i saw him in pittsburgh this september...and in the states you have to be 21 to gain entry into taverns(not sure of overseas laws) i was waiting in line all day...but im only 18, and i was denied entry...so i was really bummed out. i stuck around though, cuz i had nothing else to do, and if i wouldve went home i wouldve been miserable....so i sat around hoping someone would keep the door open so i could at least listen....but thena few minutes after damien goes into the venue.....one of thepeople working the show came out and let me in...making me promise not to drink.. never got so happy so quick in my life... so good luck to ya...maybe youll find a savior like i did if they deny your entry. |

Welcome to the igloo unexplainedmuse [img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img] Yeah, sometimes you can get a hold of Damien, too, and he'll let you in. How nice of the venue staff to let you in! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

i would'nt worry. got into the vibe for philo in vacar st when i was 16. went to the vibe in crumlin when i was 17.the bouncers there gave me grief prob because its a residential area but my mates dad said he was my dad and they ket me in. you're usually ok if you have someone overage with you. i cant see the bouncers in vicar st being too worried. ifwe oldiessee anyone with problems we should tell them we'll play big brother for them. |

Just as a totally useless fact... the tickets to the gig in Milan only cost 5 Eur! [img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img] That must have been the most value for money ever encountered by far! My student budget was a happy camper... [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Damien in April in Boston was free. There were empty seats, too. [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]
I have a copy of a poster of Jeff (Buckley) playing in Poertland for free, too. See GOD for free! [img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img] Pay $xxx to see (*insert crappy "musician"*) |

I'm so glad I'm 18! Only months ago I was in the same boat and I've even been singled out by Paddy Courtney in one of his shows for looking 9 years old! But don't worry Fiona, follow Wee Angel's advice - wear a low cut top and smile at the bouncers! It always worked for me![img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]

People always seem to be worried about getting into gigs in Dublin, yet I've never seen anybody asked for ID in any of the venues here (Ambassador, Olympia, Whelans, Point, Vicar Street). I've been to my fair share of gigs too.
So I can fairly confidently say you'll be fine [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] |
