To sneak alcohol into a concert ?

[willwetalkinthemorning]

Going to a concert tonight in a large stadium
Prices are extortionate
Your looking at £10 for a gin
I have a foldable wine bottle holder which I plan on putting gin in and putting it in back of jeans
Buying lemonade from inside with a glass than adding my own gin
Would you do it ?

You generally can't take any fluids into big stadiums, even water.

I know you cant -that's why I would be sneaking it in
It's only because they want you to pay the crazy prices

They won’t allow you to walk in with a bottle in your back pocket.
They’ll know immediately it will contain alcohol…

You are not unreasonable to want to. But don’t bother. You won’t succeed and you will just be upset when you get caught out.

I have 2 pouches i put in my bra. You need 2 foil calypso drinks with the lid, drink them, fill with whatever. Then straws. And a big bra.

You're welcome!! ☺

YANBU but is it worth potentially being chucked out and missing the gig?

I don't think you'll get it past security. I'd do it myself if I thought I could sneak it in, but they're normally pretty thorough.

Well they don't do body searches only bags I'm wearing a shirt so I would hide it in the back of my jeans

Last time I was there it was just bags anyway

Scruff behaviour, just drink what you can afford.

I have snuck booze into all sorts of places, to avoid the high prices … but mainly to avoid time queuing at the bar.

little tip, take a bag from inside a box of wine, wrap it in tinfoil, and put it in with some “packed lunch” sandwiches - we got 3 litres of wine into the cricket, by doing that

Yeah, the friends I tend to go out with do it. Just hide it well. Never been body searched so it's always been ok.

You could just do what I do and consume it all first.

Actually, I do remember my friend sneaking vodka in her bra for a Stone Roses gig and we got away with that...

YABVU.

Are you that desperate for a drink?

Are you an alcoholic? Can you really not take a drink for a few hours?

That was my thought, too.

1.I can afford as many drinks as I like but can't stand them overcharging.
2.no not desperate in the slightest -I want a few gins at a concert but not for the £50 price tag

Do you know just how ridiculous that makes you sound?

If you can afford a stadium ticket and the price of soft drinks (and you're that desperate that you'll bother with the crush at the bar in the first place), you can afford an alcoholic drink.

Or just drink before and after the gig.

There's always one!

I'm not an alcoholic, but when going to gig/concerts I love having a drink.

Why can’t you enjoy the concert without alcohol?

Who said I can't enjoy the concert without a drink ?
I want a drink and to dance with my friends at the concert -without lining the stadiums pocket for overpriced drinks (it's not any deeper than that)
I think it's a rip off

Only on mumsnet 🙄

I used to smuggle alcohol into places.
Before growing up.

Go for it! 🙌🏻 have fun!
