Ya but cmon they said they were gonna have sniffer dogs for eminem. Was there any? No. They're full of bull****

Yes they had them at eminem:p

If you do manage to get iD'd you may, and its quite likely you will, be refused, as you're underage.

Just keep in mind ticketmaster have absolutely nothing to do with the running the show on the day.. They're simply just ticket sellers.

Like if you get refused saying "ticketmaster said it will be okay" will get you nowhere.

Mcd, their security, and the guards are the ones who actually have a say.

I think honesty is the way to go though. And if I approach them calmly and nicely I think I have a good chance. But if I do get refused however, bad luck on me.

Well I rang ticket master and they said they most likely will so ya, **** luck buddy.

I know plenty of people who work for security there and they most definitely refuse you even if you're 18 a day after. Under the eyes of the law your still a minor, and if anything happens to you it's their bag. It's nothing to do with ticketmaster, remember that they only want your money, they don't care wether you get in or not!

I'm guessing something like this, mainly because people enjoy sneaking in a "cheeky nagin" amongst other substances, Pretty sure I read that the Gardai will have a heavy presence outside the venue too to prevent public drinking before hand.

Getting really buzzed about the gig now, Rudimental are gonna be mental! and with the good weather promised It's gonna make for a great day out.

I'd say leave your drugs at home and just enjoy the great day out with some spectacular music, fine weather and maybe a have few pints inside the venue to get a buzz.

pconneely07

Hi Guys. I am 23 since January. I have lost my driving licence and now have no ID whatsoever to gain entry on Friday. I was wondering what I can do to guarantee I get in? Who do I contact and at what number?

Does anyone know if my learners permit will be suitable id? I'm 18 and it has my proof of age and my picture but on ticketmaster it says garda id required and I don't have an age card

They had sniffer dogs last year with uncover gardai plenty of gardai around and I worked with security and searches are thorough including sun cream bottles etc...if youre seen inside with drink that has been brought in it will be poured out infront of you and taken, police may be called depending on how much trouble you cause over it. Id checks were strict and was very strict for the bar aswell if found with no ID you may be thrown out by arena security. Word of warning to all of you.

MattD

I would have been 24 at the time at Kanye West last year and I was still getting ID'd IN the arena when I went to get a pint, the lads don't want to mess around, particularly with a gig like Avicii. The security that has been at all big outdoor events since the SHM debacle have been top notch and relatively strict on entry.

People asking like 'Will I get searched?' 'How do I get booze in?' and 'Will I get ID'd?' really irk me because what's going to actually happen? Someone says, ah yeah put drink in a suncream bottle, or, ah yeah they don't check everyone's ID. You still have every chance of getting stung because you're doing something illegal. What then? 'BUT THE MAN ON BOARDS SAID I'D BE GRAND!! '

If you manage to get in when you're under 18, or bring banned substances in, it's not because these guys are lax or you're some sort of genius with some avant garde pro-tip. You just got lucky.

Yes, there should be alcohol served once you're passed the ticket check and are within the venue grounds. Most likely pints of Heineken as per other events..
