Snuck into Fall Out Boy

Snuck into Fall Out Boy last weekend. I live down the street from the venue. I ran there about 30 min after they were on. Told the ticket lady that “I’m my friend’s DD and his friend got too drunk and was kicked out. He called me and said he has his open seat so I ran over”.. She let me in 😎

Anyone ever get caught being in the suite? If so, what happened and was it worth it?

When breaking into a suite at an event, anyone ever get caught? Either by the people who rented the suite or security? If so, what happened?

my mom the wedding crasher

I just commented this on another post, but realized maybe it should just be it's own post tbh

my mom was single, young, and bored when I was growing up, so she would take my siblings and I to strangers' weddings all the time, just as a way for her to dance, have fun, and drink. in return, we knew we'd get to have cake. there's a few especially popular wedding spots in our town that we'd sometimes pass by, and if there was one happening we'd always stop, and usually if the reception was already an hour or so in, no one would give a fuck that we just walk in. or when people would ask, she'd always tell me as a life lesson just to say you're a friend of "dave" or "mike" because there's always a dave, david, mike or michael (this worked for her at parties too). even when we clearly looked out of place (not in formalwear), people didn't seem to give a fuck if you're as friendly and nice as her. worst case scenario when people would be weirded out, she'd charmingly just explain to them how much she loves weddings, show off her cute kids, tell a sob story about her own love life, and they'd let her stay. we never once got kicked out. one time she even got a dance in with the groom! shoutout to my mom

How can i sneak into a movie when i dont know what screen the movie is

Im under 18 and i want to go to an R18+ Movie (australian, like NC17 Or whatever it is) im happy to pay for a ticket to go see a movie and sneak into the movie but i have no clue how to figure out what theatre the movie i want to see is. Any help?

edit: when they print your ticket at the theatre on the day it has the theatre on it, or the guy scanning it will tell you, thats how you know where to go

edit: i did a test run with a different movie, turns out they have a self serve machine and i can print my own ticket, the ticket checker guy also just wasnt at the fucking door so? anyway im just gonna buy 2 tickets just incase then walk into the other theatre, thanks to all that helped!

Snuck in to a Wang Leehom VIP event

Saw a similar story with Kid Rock on here. Reminded me of this. This happened in 2016 in Boston, MA. My SO is a huge fan of Wang Leehom. He was returning to his old college, Berklee college, to do a quick show. We knew he had a VIP event after the show so we saw the show and waited around the exit of the VIP room afterwards. I was bugging exiting attendants for their passes.. 3 or 4 said no until I spot an older gentleman with his daughter. They said heck it why not and handed me their passes. We went round the front and the security asked us who the hell we were. I said I had snuck out for a cigarette and wanted to come back in. They didn't seem to buy it but they said don't do it again and let us through. We got to shake Wang leehom's hand and I earned major brownie points with my SO.

Got backstage to a Kid Rock concert.

This happend in 2018. Don't shame for liking Kid Rock. I've always been curious about sneaking into events and seen many YouTube videos and been a lurker on this sub for awhile now.

I should mention I had tickets to this event. To get through the door. The concert was in an Arena. My brother in law accidently purchased us nose bleeds on the side of the Arena and I was kinda bummed at first because of the location. A few days before I was playing around on my PC and watched a video of someone photo shopping lanyards and for fun I made one for each of us. (it looked terrible) but I brought this with us to the Arena and was just gonna see where I could go and if I got stopped or question I would tell them I got them off a scalper on the street and the worst thing they could do is send us back to our original seats.
At the Arena it was pretty hard to find any access anywhere but I was walking by the restrooms and seen a red curtain with stairs going down. So I said heres my chance and I walked down a flight of stairs to a platform and all of a sudden I was met with two police officers and a security worker with a flashlight, mind you it was almost completely dark and I couldn't even see them till they hit me with the flashlight. The entire interaction lasted 5 seconds he looked at my lanyard and waived me by.

I was completely floor it worked and continued down to a private section, about 100 seats with maybe 10-15 people thay was directly beside the stage. I got to fist bump KidRock and was maybe 3 feet off the stage to the right. It was an incredible night and this story gets brought up all the time.

Dressed nice and acted like I belonged, go into many events.

While in college, I used to work as a door person at a very high end condo building. They provided me with a suit to wear; blue blazer, grey slacks, white shirt, and a patterned tie. I would get a 30 minute lunch break and usually walk to the attached higher-end shopping center (crown center in Kansas City). Attached to it was also a nice hotel which had conferences all the time. Not once was I asked for ID, and multiple times I would walk through the conventions. A few times I was able to get in line for a food buffet for free. I also walked away with some fun swag. That was a nice cush job

Successfully snuck into a big $80 per ticket food fair/business event

It was the easiest shit in the world. I'm a clean cut guy and I can look really unassuming and not stand out in a crowd. I put on a nice button down shirt and blazer to match the attire of most people and milled around in the crowded check-in area for a few minutes looking busy and productive, making sure to not catch anybody's eyes in particular. When I saw an opening I just walked right by the guy checking to confirm everyones' registration (you're supposed to wear a bracelet once you check in) when he was distracted by another group. Never got stopped or questioned even once.

The music was blasting nonstop so there wasn't much good networking but I did run into a bunch of people I know and got to do some gladhanding, and the free food was pretty great.

It's not the first time either since this is an annual event. I've saved thousands of dollars by doing this over the years. The events are generally big enough that unless you go out of your way to stand out you don't get recognized.

Especially when it comes to business or just high society events, dress cleanly but not extravagantly, carry yourself with confidence and wait for openings. Works every time.

This guy really acted like he belonged on the flight!

https://www.fox13now.com/news/crime/man-arrested-after-boarding-salt-lake-city-flight-without-ticket

All the way to snapping pictures of other people's phone boarding passes and hiding out in the bathroom.
Now might be in serious trouble, but gotta admire the effort.

People think I’m a Baseball Scout

Apparently I’m doing this well enough already without trying. I go to a lot of minor league baseball games with a scorebook, pitch counter and radar gun. I also am usually getting off my real job so I’m dressed in business casual. To top it all off, I don’t usually say much. I just watch the game, take notes, and clock pitches. I’m reality, I’m just a big baseball fan, and I go to games for my own mental health. Without fail, almost every game I get asked “who I’m here with”. Players’ parents walk by me with this look and get really quiet. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a pretty crazy feeling

My only time sorta doing this

Yeah it's lame but it was my first time. My gym has a gym tag reader where you scan and open the door I forgot my tag and instead walked to the doors as someone was coming out from their session and they held the door open. I made a gesture fumbling for my keys so when the door opened it was quite nice. I've realised tho that if you want a free gym membership all you have o do is time your entrance with another person as they will almost always hold the door open for you so yea

I have a volunteer All-Access pass to a CBB tournament. Any tips?

I'm working in a couple weeks for a conference tournament in my area. Would you try and go to the floor level and fit in with the media, or tuck the badge once you got in and head to the nosebleeds?

I feel like this is a blessing for easy floor access but since I wouldn't be working in the media I'm not sure if it's the safest option.

I got fired for meeting Ambassador to UN 25 years ago

When I was 22, fresh out of Art school, I got a job at an art magazine as a receptionist. I would answer phones and open mail and so on. One day theAmbassador to UN office called to get security clearance for a press event at The Waldorf Astoria private residence of theAmbassador to UN. I asked if I could go too and the people on the line said if I got the RSVPs I could go. No one wanted to go but I thought it was the most interesting thing. I knew it was important so I dressed up, I had a bright red suit w skirt and of course i was 22 and beautiful anyway, I showed up and there was Richard Holbrook and he shook my hand and asked if I was a writer. I did not realize he meant did I write for the magazine. As I was an avid journaler I assumed he was psychic and said yes. So i went alomg, drank coffee and had croissants on little silver dishes and looked at the art. During the meeting, an aid came and asked me if I was a writer for the magazine. Of course I told her I was not, I had answered the phone and they gave me security clearance for getting the rsvps. This should have gone fine and i left when they finished without incident. Until the next day when I was fired off the property to the magazine. Apparently the owner had gone to a big press dinner with the ambassador and was told that he "met his beautiful new writer." It took hours for him to figure out it was me. And he apparently freaked out and ordered my termination. I didnt know that I had done something wrong and people worked years to be able to shake the ambassadors hand but I was just sailing around clueless to the politics of the situation.

Drinking free champagne backstage then dancing on stage with the bands.

I first went to Ibiza in 1990. Met a couple of guys on the way who invited me to come along to a rave at Ku that night. Ku was the biggest club on the island and the biggest in Europe at the time. None of us had much money but we drank a bottle of vodka in town, smoked a joint and dropped a trip, then headed to the club. After a few hilarious failed attempts at walking in without tickets, we were all inside. The place was full of models and celebrities because it was also a Cosmopolitan party and some of the top rave bands of the time were playing. I got in line for a free cocktail, which the guy serving said was laced with mescaline. I helped myself to a few more of those then tried to dance but the dance floor was too crowded, so I hit on the idea of going up on the stage. Walking through security was very easy. When I got backstage there was a huge table full of hors d'oeuvres and champagne. Everyone had left the table already so I just sat down, poured myself a glass and started eating. Nobody bothered me. When I'd had enough, I walked up behind the stage and watched the band for a while. Then I started dancing again and the music sounded so good that I danced out onto the stage and became a backing dancer for about 10-15 minutes. The guys I'd come in with saw me up there and gestured 'wtf?' at me so I smiled and laughed with them. The singer in the band turned to look at me and I just smiled at her so she went back to singing. After they'd finished she asked me what I thought. I said 'What's the name of your band?' She said '2 4 Joy' I said "I've never heard of them' She looked a bit upset by that so I said "You were good though" which made her happy. It was a great night. I did similar things many times over the years at different clubs and festivals but that whole night was quite a special memory
