3Arena - strict on age?

Got 2 seated tickets for a gig which are advised U16 accompanied by adult (U14+ Standing).

Both kids will be 15+ at time of gig. Tried to get another ticket for adult to accompany them in but it's sold out. They are well used to going to gigs at this stage so I'd have no fear letting them off while I wait outside for them. But - are 3Arena strict? Will they be refused entry? They do look older than 15 it has to be said.

Any gig I've ever been to in the 3Arean, they don't check on ages at all. Was at a couple of those gigs this year that are targeted at teenage ladies e.g. Gracie Abrams, Tate McRae etc. (I was bringing my 13 year old and her friends. I just want to make that point, otherwise this post might sound a bit strange 😮). We were in the standing area, and there were kids queueing up outside that were no more than 10. But they just let them through. No issues. I've ever heard of anyone being stopped, unless maybe if you're bringing in a 4 or 5 year old.

That's my experience of the standing area anyway. Haven't been to the seating area in those circumstances.

@Toodles_27 did it work out? I want to drop my 15 year old and her friend to the door tomorrow night for seated tickets but don't want to go to the show.

@FullBack Jam The issue here is unaccompanied, it sounds like those kids you saw were all accompanied I think?

Will it work out?

if your kid is 15 they’ll have no problem getting in the 3 arena staff aren’t strict in age at all unless it’s an 18+ gig

Indeed there was no issue with them getting in last Friday night. Thanks all.
