choffer Posted April 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2016 Having a dilemma about Chemical Brothers on Clapham Common this summer. My nephew really wants me to take him and I'd be more than happy to. The only problem is that it's an 18+ gig and he'll be 4 months short of that at the time. I really don't want to drop £140 on two tickets only to be turned away at the door. Anyone know how seriously they check these things on the way in?

chrisp65 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 The fact that it says on page 1 of the ticketing website 'no ID, no entry' suggests they could be serious. This is how some people claim to have got over this same obstacle earlier this year: e-mail them, stating that nephew will be 18, but doesn't currently have a photo ID, driving licence or passport. Ask if it will be ok to bring the birth certificate. If they say yes in an e-mail response, you then spend an evening 'shopping a really good birth certificate with the amended date of birth. You take this, along with your e-mail trail. They will check it and query it, you will volunteer that it's a photocopy as you are not so stupid as to take an original birth certificate to a gig, you will keep calm and polite but create a delay at the gate. They will let you in 'this time'. Nipper was 50% shocked and disgusted at dad's devious nature, 50% pleased as **** to get in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure to check if there are sniffer dogs on the gates, stating your nephew is allergic to dogs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yes, sorry I was presuming that the basics were universally known and observed, but you're right, well worth saying. Always get the kids to carry the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 a friends daughter had a totally legit replacement birth certificate and photo id when she was 16 for an 18 year old, this friend believes it was a piece of piss to get someones identity stuff off the internet and that was 11 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just back from Shonen Knife at the Sage. Great show, as always. I think they are possibly my new favourite three people in the world. Impossible to come out of one of their gig not smiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) The only gig I have been to in 10 years is to see my younger brother who is the drummer in punk band Rotunda. Prior to that after a long and distinguished gig / concert attending career it was The Wonder Stuff in Wolverhampton just before the kids came along Desperately want to take my 13 year old lad and 11 year old daughter to a gig. I actually planned what music I was going to play in the car when. I brought them home from hospital after being born. My son was Stanley road by Weller. It and subsequent hard work has all fallen on deaf ears with awful shlt being belted out from various websites (of course they won't pay for any music) other than the lad does like a bit of Green Day. I am desperate to take them to a gig. Missed Stereophonics at the NEC in December. Might try and get Ocean Colour Scene at Moseley Park in the summer because no way am I doing Shawn Mendes!

lapal_fan Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Went to see Noel Gallagher @ the NEC (Genting) last Friday. I don't like a lot of music outside of Oasis/High Flying Birds - so it's really is the pinnacle of anything I can do/see concert wise. Needless to say, he was brilliant. Great set, including a couple of fun, yet silly songs like Digsy's Diner and D'yer wanna be a space man? from 22 years ago - really nice to hear them live, thought I'd missed that boat obviously. Fantastic 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advise is to get straight to the "What Song Are You Listening To" thread, and listen to everything useless posted.
