To think this friend is being ridiculous

I’ve got a friend who brings her three year old to most things, including when occasionally inappropriate. But usually it’s ok, she is the type to kick off when she gets invited to a wedding and her daughter doesn’t but otherwise it’s ok.

We all thought it would be fun to go to a beer festival and bought tickets about a month ago. It starts at 7pm in a city centre on a Friday. She has since found out it is (I’d think obviously) no under 18s due to licensing.
She is kicking off sideways about this.
Aibu to think she’s being bloody ridiculous and to tell her so!

I don't go places without my DC either for various reasons which I won't bore you with, but I don't turn up with them in tow to adult only events! I simply decline invites which aren't appropriate for all of us. Why on earth would anyone want to take a pre-schooler to a beer festival?? I can't think of much worse!

Have the venue replied to her?

Perhaps her DC could really do with a break. Sounds a bit potentially intrusive to me.
