to risk taking our DC age 7 to the x factor live final ...

[xFACTORdilemma]

.... when the minimum age has now been lowered from 12 years to 8 years?

Poor DC will be just 3 weeks short of her 8th birthday - it seems a shame for her to miss out.

Problem is they say everyone with tickets for the show must have ID available to check to pick up the tickets and gain entry.

Shall I risk taking her anyway?

Yes, take her. They can't expect an eight year old to have I.D!

I did hear you have to be a TalkTalk customer to get tickets anyway? anyone know if that's true?

yes - we won the tickets through talk talk.
