Do you think I should be allowed to go see Armin Van Buuren?

Unfortunately isn’t a matter of whether or not you should be able to go or not, but legality issues. One cannot sign a legal contract, buy legal drugs (cigarettes), and be tried as an adult in a court of law. The latter two could be the reasons that it is an 18 plus event. I am 18 and I felt the same way when I was 17 but it is just the law. 18 is also the age of adulthood in some states. This could also be part of it. So, yeah, I think access should be based on a maturity level, but unfortunately it is not.

Fake I.D., anyone? Just gotta bring the year back one year. :P

Haha. I hate it though because my brother gets to go to all these shows of all my favourite DJs and I can’t go with him just because I’m 246 days younger than the limit. Screw the law.

Again, I concur, but screw the law enough and the law will eventually screw you…unless you are careful.

You’re absolutely right. You get a great answer click :)

I went to many 18+ concerts before I was even 15. Oftentimes the restricted age is because the venue sells alcohol. Usually they will still let you in, and if that doesn’t work use your brother as a chaperone. Very few places are strict enough to deny access to someone under their age limit.
