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 ?

So go to the pub before going in.

I’ve done it many times. The pricing is mad but the quality is never great either. Gordon’s gin.. no thanks.

Ignore the MN ‘you’re an alcoholic’ brigade. Some people like a drink, some don’t.

@Hannahsbananas I am going to the pub before going in
I'm getting to the stadium for doors open at 4 and it's not over till 11

I went to a concert this week and they did bag and body searches on entry. We weren't even allowed to take a bottle of water in and had to drink it or throw it away before going in.

Bore off!!

Op I would. Really pisses me off that my favourite venue charges £11 for a GLASS of wine when you can pay half that for the whole bottle in the supermarket.

Yeah they need to make a profit but it's fucking ridiculous

YANBU - loads of people do it to avoid the price gouging on drinks at large events. I’ve done it many times without any problems. Have a great time!

Classy

The last concert I went to charged me £10 for a double gin. I'll continue to take alcohol in with me when they charge those prices, for shit drinks which tend to be flat.

Definitely under the bra!

Wouldn't bother me tbh. But it's interesting that people are usually outraged when people break the law smoking weed but don't bat an eyelid with alcohol related offences.

Pink?
My friends are at that.
I'd shove miniatures in my bra if I wanted a drink, unfortunately I just need to look at alcohol and I'm peeing all night!

Do it. Your bra is the answer.

The pearl clutchers accusing you of alcoholism or not being classy are a scream. They clearly don’t get out much 😂

Fine to sneak it in but not sure you will get away with it in your back pocket.

Clearly don’t get out much?
What a frankly bizarre assumption

This was my reaction too.

If being intoxicated is necessary for you to enjoy the gig, just drink beforehand. Or factor the cost of the alcohol into the price of your night out.

I get out a lot thank you, and aibpay for drinks because I’m not a scruff.

I got searched last week at an o2. Patted down I mean. They were doing everyone.

There are all sorts of bras & pouches with straws.

Bangles you can fill with alcohol. A bottle that looks like an umbrella on the outside. One that looks like a tie and one that's a belt, a scarf. Fake lotion bottles, tampon boxes. Handbag/rucksack with a false bottom. There's a whole industry for this.

I don't think its breaking the law to put a bag of wine down your trousers, nor does it support the illegal drugs trade

I also doubt the people sneaking bags of vodka in their bra are really outraged by weed

Weed smoking doesn't bother me either tbf.

I don't like it myself, but I honestly couldn't care less what others choose to do. It's very common where I live to get a waft of weed smoke on a sunny day so you'd drive yourself mad getting het up about it.

Is it Pink in Sunderland?

I saw Beyonce there recently, the security were super tight with pat downs and the detector wands as well as bag checks. A few had tried sneaking some drinks in but security just binned them at the gates, no one was refused entry.

Go for it! Have fun!

I’ve done it a few times. Not because of the price so much as the lines at the bar.

Oh my god, this place sometimes.

Maybe all the judgy knickers can wander off to their threads about parking or something and leave the rest of us to discuss the booze sneaking. The prices these places charge are obscene. I expect to pay a bit more but not O2 or Wembley prices.

I'm also trying to work out how to sneak some spirits in to an outdoor gig. There'll still be searches I'm sure.

It's easier in colder months as there's more hiding spots I find.

Bras are good for a little hip flask as they're flat. Just put them in the band under your arm pit.
I think a waistband would be ok with a long top over it. I don't remember being patted down at Wembley last time I went.
