Commodore Ballroom?

[somnambulist]

I dunno where else to ask this... my girlfriend is 18, just one year too young to drink in BC for those who don't know. What are the chances she'll be let into the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on November 5th?

[cooldude]

No problem, as long as she doesnt look like shes 12. I know a couple of 15 year olds that got into the last concert at the ballroom no problem. There is a rush into the door and they don't I.D. very many people. You will be fine.

[somnambulist]

Cool, thanks, we'll give it a try.

Usually, they've IDed me, but I never got checked the other week at The New Pornographers show. It depends on how lucky you feel.

I wouldn't exactly say "no problem".

 

I've never been to the Commodore, but I do get ID'ed everywhere, and I definitely don't look 12.

[Typhoid]

God damnit.

 

 

I wanted to go. I didnt know it was +19.

 

I cant wait until April. ;)

[anitanium]

the last matt good show they just asked for ticket

 

 

then again, all ages

[mistressmasie]

Everytime I have gone to the Commodore I get asked for TWO pieces of ID which is just stupid. Who carries TWO pieces of ID whaen they are at a club.

[anitanium]

everyone knows to get two pieces of ID

 

drivers license + care card is good enough

[mistressmasie]

I live in the US. We do not have care cards.

Any government issued ID works, as long as it has your name and signature on it.

 

I don't know what kind of cards Americans carry...any kind of health card, social security, passport, birth certificate, etc etc.

[somnambulist]

Damn.... this would've been my first MG show, after missing countless ones due to work... but my girlfriend asked a bunch of people too and they said she'd be ID'd for sure. I don't want to just go alone even if I have been waiting for this. I guess I'll have to wait until the next album...

[EvanofEdmonton]

kirbenvost...I'm in a similer situation ;)

Heads up: they may be using the scanner at this one.

[crazycanuck]

The Scanner? What's that?

[anitanium]

all drivers licenses have a barcode on them

they will scan each license to make sure you're not a felon or something

[crazycanuck]

Crazy. I've never heard of this, or run into it.

 

 

Does killing hookers count? Cause, you know, a friend of mine.....

[madeforburning]

Ok guys, people don't really scan barcodes at bars. If they think that it is fake they will either deny you or take it away. But anyway, my first MG show at rhe commodore I was underage but I ahd the best fake ID and I lost it. Anyway after spazing for a while, my friend and I just walked right in like we owned the place and no one asked me for ID. Maybe it was a miracle but it's worht a try. And just as an exclaimer I was also kicked out of the Misfits concert the previous year for having shitty ID but good luck!

[gala_pope]

Every time I've been to a show at the Commodore, I've been IDed. And I most certainly do not look under 19.

Though I've never seen them use the scanner, so who knows about that. I've only ever seen that at one place I've been to. Granted, I don't go "clubbing" very often...
