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 ?

I do it I have a bra that I can fill up with a straw got it off wish 🤣

DD has had a couple of gigs really spoiled by some extremely drunk people. At the first one a very drunk woman was annoying other members of the audience as well. In the end security threw her out.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying a couple of drinks at a gig but I can't understand when you have forked out £££ for a ticket why you would get so drunk you can't enjoy the concert, plus there is the issue of the queues for the loos.

You're most welcome 😈

I personally wouldn't do it because it's dishonest and not respecting the venues terms and conditions, which you effectively agree to when you purchase the ticket.

This thread has also got me very concerned about what can get past security and has put me off being ok with my 16 year old going to concerts.

Your poor kid

I'm also concerned about the lack of security if all this smuggled booze is getting in undetected.

I wouldn't do it because I hate warm drinks and would rather do without or buy at the bar.

But most of these prices people are quoting are hardly any more than city pubs and bars. Do you take your own drinks there too?

No one ever body searches me, I get most disappointed when they don't!

Nobody ever searches me either, but I suspect it's because I'm in a clown costume and on stilts.

@saltinesandcoffeecups Why?

That's what concerns me too. The security doesn't seem to be very tight especially after the Manchester arena bombing.

I sneaked 2 cans of rum and coke into the 02 a couple of months ago.

I hid them at the bottom of my handbag but my friend and I were waved through without being searched at all anyway.

I'm organising an event at a sports venue in the autumn and the corporate hospitality wine list price is shocking. £53 for a bottle of procescco, you can buy the same wine in Sainsbury's for £15! Really shocking so I'm not surprised that people want to take their own drinks in. Stadium prices are bordering on daylight robbery.

Nope totally happy to pay that price in city centres (although I'm in Leeds and hard pressed to have to pay that much anywhere, max you generally pay for a pint is £6 and £8-9 for a LARGE wine) as it's a decent drink in a proper glass, not warm piss water in a cardboard cup.

You are an angel.

Now questioning my own morals.

😂

I think the terms and conditions when serving white wine is it should be cold! Because paying £10 for a glass of luke warm white wine is day light robbery!

@SamphireSandwich I agree with you, it absolutely is daylight robbery.

Perhaps you should be campaigning via local councillors or your MP if you have a venue in your constituency to make it a condition of licence for events that there are not rip-off prices. On the grounds that it encourages people drinking to excess beforehand or to bring in spirits which are stronger, so arguably about public safety.

Yeah, just stick it in your bra, that's what we do. There's no need for such high prices at gigs!

Ahh it’s fine and DH had never had an issue with my tits being sweaty so he’d gladly help drink it!

Link?? 🤣🤣

I've got images of the straw going round each boob 😂🤣
