Over 18s only?

Am I the only one who thought this was a porn thread from the title?

You, like me, were simply hopeful.

::sigh:: To quote the Rolling Stones, "You can't always get the porn threads." I might be paraphrasing.

Just checked with the O2 Academy Glasgow and it is, indeed, over 18s on Monday evening, which they said was requested by the promoter. We had a ticket for my 14 year old niece - who was there last year - and her mum is just about to break the bad news to her.

Thanks to the original poster for drawing this to my attention. Being 17 you should chance your arm but my niece couldn't pass for 18 in a month of Sundays so we're not even going to try.

I am really looking forward to seeing the band live for the first time next week, but I am a bit worried about getting in. I'm only 17 and look a bit younger. Do people usually not get let in if they are underage? I'll be gutted if I don't get to see them.

Hi there,
last couple of times I've been to Pogues at O2 Glasgow I'm sure it was supposed to be over 18s but if you had balcony tickets you were OK. My son was 12 last year and it was Ok. Anyone know if its changed this year for sure - because I've got a 12 yo and 13 yoy who are going to be gutted. Don't want to drive all way down from Perth to find they can't get in.

I have the same problem as you. I am only 17 but hopefully won't get turned away at door. Will be gutted if i do though.

Got a reply from academy: I asked Hi - can I just check age restrictions for Pogues on Monday. For the seated balcony area - is it no age restrictions but under 14s need to be accompanied by adult?

They replied:

Hi

The Pogues show is over 18s only,

Many thanks
