Today, I had drinks at a friend's house before going out to a concert. I still had a bottle of beer left, so I brought it along with me. I got kicked out five minutes into the show for bringing my own drink, which is apparently against the rules. I paid $75 to get kicked out over a $3 drink. FML

Today, my friends and I went out for drinks. I'm the only one who's actually 21 or over, and they have fake IDs. Not only was I the only one to be carded, the bartender thought that my actual ID was fake. I got kicked out while my friends kept drinking. FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, I walked into a concert that I've been waiting months for. Immediately after passing through the doors, I was accused of sneaking in and thrown out. They wouldn't even look at my ticket, or the hand stamp they'd given me. FML
Today, I got kicked out of my favorite pub. I yelled at the group behind me for being annoying. They were extremely irritating, singing songs and cheering, but the manager decided to kick me out instead. FML
Today, I was in a band with some friends and we got our first gig at a local festival, but I'd already agreed to work serving drinks at the festival. My bandmates got really annoyed and kicked me out of the band. They then went ahead and performed the song that I WROTE, without me, at the festival where I was working. FML
Today, I went to a concert. The music was great, but the drunk guys behind me made it hard to pay attention. Half way through the second act, one of them took it upon themselves to start peeing on me. FML
Today, I was going to meet my friend at a concert. I got there before her, so I went in to check out the local bands that were playing before the headliner. When she got there, I went just outside the building to give her a ticket. The security guards wouldn't let me back in. She went in anyway. FML
Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML
Today, my "best friend" invited me to drink with her and a couple other friends. She told me to "just bring a few bucks for beer". When I got there, no one else had brought money, including her. They only invited me because I'm the only one with a job. FML
Today, I bought a party bowl of Bud Light for a get-together. Around midnight, I realized that I didn't have the tap to get the beer out. Fifty-five cans of untappable beer and no more beer money. FML

Well, you're at least 21, so you weren't born yesterday. You must just be stupid.

You deserve it. if you can't bring alcohol into any building, or food and drinks to the movies, what would make you think you could bring alcohol to a concert?

I'm surprised at all the YDIs. Sure, we all know the RULES about bringing drinks to concerts, but what happened to our sense of rebellion? You get kicked OUT now? Gosh, usually if I get caught I just get the drink confiscated. Also, it's just a ploy to charge $10 per beer. Worthless. Way to go, OP, stick it to the man.

Anybody who has tried something like this generally knows that you usually don't get kicked out unless you make a scene. That's probably where all the YDI's come from.

rebellion isnt bringing a beer into a venue.." oh $10 for a beer I'll show you I'll bring my own beer in" oh yeah so rebellious..if paying $10 is too much just do what damn near everyone does at concerts and sporting events..show up early and get hammered in the parking lot

I was in line at a sold out show in the early 80's. A cop rode up to me on horseback as I was tilting a quart of beer. Before he could finish the sentence " son, this isn't Bush Gardens" I had finished pouring it out on the ground. You're not in trouble until he gets off the horse.

Aren't there usually large signs at venues stating NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK? Right near the "NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY" signs? And seriously-bringing a beer to a concert isn't "edgy" or "rebellious" or any of that other crap. It's stupid. Broken glass on the ground at a crowded venue can often lead to injuries. You gambled, and lost. Sucks to be you.

.it should be obvious that it aint allowed. but throwing you out was a bit mean. they could've said that it ain't allowed, and just taken your drink.

You don't leave the house much, do you?

Let this be a $75 lesson: Read the rules, and follow them. Whatever happens, it will in the end, be your own choice.

Common sense. Generally, you can never bring alcohol into events.

I thought it was common knowledge not to bring your own drinks. Also, $75 is pretty cheap for a concert ticket.
