Navigating ID Requirements for Concerts: Tips for a Smooth Entry
As music enthusiasts, my girlfriend and I (21 and 22, respectively) are eagerly anticipating an upcoming concert at The Lower Third, located on Denmark Street. The event is advertised as 18+, and the venue requires physical photo identification for entry. While I possess a valid passport, my girlfriend only has an expired citizen card. Although her citizen card has sufficed for purchasing alcohol in stores, we’ve encountered issues at a nightclub before; not due to the expiration but because certain venues do not recognize it as valid identification.
With the concert just one week away, we find ourselves in a bit of a bind as obtaining a new physical ID in time seems unlikely. So far, we’ve been fortunate enough not to be asked for identification at prior gigs, which raises the question: will we encounter a similar experience this time?
I’m reaching out to the community for insights—has anyone attended a concert at The Lower Third? I’m particularly curious about how strict they are at the door regarding ID checks. Any tips or advice you could share on how to navigate this situation would be greatly appreciated, as we want to ensure a smooth entry into what promises to be an unforgettable night of live music!
