Ignore that advice, as a regular gig goer to large and small venues I can assure you that it does happen. I’ve seen several folk turned away recently. It can be only a good thing in my book.
Im not giving advice wrightyson.. this is just fact. I work in the industry from time to time in the box office for my OH whos been a box office manager for nearly twenty years.
The people scanning tickets are looking for one thing and thats a green light.
And why do you think turning away genuine fans is a good thing?? It does nothing to tackle the problem of ticket touting. Its less than a drop on the ocean.
Artists that decide to go down this route learn quickly.. its just bad craic to ruin peoples fun.
Like i said im not giving advice.. you might slip on a banana pell tmrw. You probably wont though.
