Underage live shows?

<< < (7/8) > >>

sjbrot:
Age restrictions are based mostly on the type of license a place can get. By law, some places aren't alowed to have boozing and youngens, while others can do by meeting certain standards.

This is my understanding of it.

I remember feeling bitter because I was missing out on the big shows that came through town because I was underage. I've come to understand a bit from the venue's perspective, since the best way for them to make money is to sell out a crowd of people who are going to be drinking three, four beers each. It sucks for the youngens, but that's the way it is.

I've discovered that a lot of places don't bother to check ID.  So it's worth a shot, especially if you've (like a dumbass) bought $30 nonrefundable tickets for said show.

Nemba:
Most often, if you look like you know what you're doing, they won't bother checking ID. I'm 15, and I went to a concert held at a vinyard bar (clearly restricted to 18 and over, 18 being the drinking age here). Not only did they not bother checking for ID, they offered me and my girlfriend at the time free wine. So yeah, looking the part is everything.

This is actually a big issue because I absolutely HAVE to go see Tilly and the Wall in about a week, but it's 18+. So do you think that's a good idea? Should I go with the dad thing? Should I try to just get in and hope they don't card me? Should I invest in a fake if I'm only two months away from 18? Are there any Atlantans here who have been to the Drunken Unicorn who can give me some insight? Help help help!

I'm not an Atlantan but get the fake id if you plan on purchasing alcohol in the next three years, also there are 21+ venues all over the place so it still might be worth having for future shows. Otherwise just go with your dad. You definitely don't want to drive to Atlanta and then not be able to see the show.
