How to sneak into a festival/concert ?

Post by James » Wed Jul 26, 2017 3:47 pm

Hello !
This is my first topic here, I was wondering some days ago if some of you ever succeeded at sneaking into an outside festival or concert, most often these events happen during the night and the security can sometimes be busy. So if any of you have tips i'll be very interested about it !

Not in any opping sense, but I did sneak onto a private rooftop residence during a New Year's celebration. Security had fenced off the area and were patrolling, but after finding a gap in both a friend & I slipped through and hung out on a darkened portion of the rooftop to watch the fireworks. Afterwards we mingled with the residents a bit (we were dressed well enough to blend in) and made our way out the front door via the elevator.

Social stealth is useful for these scenarios but goes against everything we strive to teach on this forum. For example, wearing a high-vis vest and carrying a toolbox is pretty stupid for an op, but for gaining entrance to a public event nobody will even question your presence.

Zac Alsop's YouTube channel has some very interesting content around this topic. He sneaks into all sorts of events with fake passes and high vis etc. all the time.

I've seen plenty of videos where carrying a ladder gets you into pretty much anywhere.
