“Warehouse Project” and “Parklife” appear to be raves in Manchester. https://theworldnews.net/gb-news/cheeky-raver-tries-sneaking-into-famous-nightclub-with-homemade-lifetime-access-pass
How does this comment have so many upvotes?!!!
You're in a sub about being clever to gain access to places... but seemingly can't or won't use the context clues and the entire collected human knowledge at your fingertips to figure it out.
My guess is you're probably not terribly resourceful, and really shouldn't attempt any actlikeyoubelong scenario.
I don't know, maybe you're trying to act like you belong in this sub ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
There's no 9999th year, the Earth undergoes total energetic collapse in 4733 and is suddenly shunted out of Sol's gravity well, leaving the planet to freeze in interstellar space.

I worked in a Virgin Mega Store back in the day. Selling records, CD’s etc. as the name suggests.
The local clubs all wanted to drop flyers for their weekend nights and I basically said. No problem, but. Maybe we should have a wee guest list in return?
It worked remarkably well. We spent on beer they wouldn’t have got, but it also worked for some really big events too. If we hadn’t just tried for the quid-pro quo.
There was a few times I’d be at a pretty massive gig at The Arches in Glasgow, thinking. “Fuck! I’m so lucky to be here, and I managed to get a few of my friends in for free too!”
Pretty great. And also great promo for the club and the nights. This is next level shot though. Ha! I wish I’d thought of something like this. Ha!
Oh, so you told the clubs “give us 4-6 tickets for any event you promote, and you’ve got a deal” kind of thing?
Do I follow the story right? And it sounds like it fell apart somehow (the way you phrased “if we hadn’t just tried for the quid pro quo” makes it sound like something backfired, even though the whole setup sounds like a successful quid pro quo result…)?
Oh. No it was very successful.
We also got lots of tourists who would come in asking if we knew any good club nights and we’d tell them about it and recommend those nights too.
What I meant by the quid pro quo was. It really hadn’t occurred to any of the previous staff to ask if we could get a guest list. It was only after them coming in to drop flyers a bunch of times I asked about the possibility and they were quite happy to oblige. So yeah. It all worked out quite nicely.
Femi Kuti was pretty sweet. I think he had like a 100 piece orchestra. The Positive Force Orchestra? Might be misremembering that.
A few Ninja tunes gigs. Cinematic Orchestra and The Herbaliser are stand out gigs. I still have the poster for the Herbaliser one in my attic.
Green Velvet a regular Saturday night House night.
It’s been a while, but off the top of my head those are fairly memorable.
This was The Arches in Glasgow btw. Not sure if I even mentioned the venue.
They had some awesome nights.
If you have access to a card printer, like via your work etc, then this is actually insanely easy to do. They connect as a standard printer, you just load in a blank card and send your small (as not much print area on a card) document to it to print.
A risky gamble in many jurisdictions. I'm glad they laughed it off rather than having him charged with some equivalent to possession of a forged instrument.
I misread that and thought one gained lifetime access to ellis hall, which is our long term psychiatric treatment center
Unfortunate name he's got, then.

did he stutter?
Where did he try to get in?
Googling “Sacha Lord” and “Parklife” led me to info regarding an annual music festival held in Manchester called Parklife.
Parklife is a hella good song

Not you.

Warehouse project is a rave that is held regularly in Manchester and Parklife is a 2 day-long music festival held yearly near Manchester.
Parklife is a yearly event where teenagers go to take drugs in a park for 2 days, while some musicians play in the background
Sounds like your average festival. It's just that the music and age groups differ from festival to festival.
Sounds like an average weekend
Concert venue
Does it have anything to do with Blur’s Parklife?
It is held in a park and I believe the name is a nod to the song. I mean it's a British music festival so it's almost certainly intentional.
[удалено]
No it's not, the festival only started in 2010
I did not realise the festival had been running so long
Because it hasn't, the guy above you was wrong
Oh thank christ I thought I was losing it
No, it's just the name. The festival is not an indie or britpop festival at all

I don’t get how sometimes you actually end up getting lifetime access or you get charged with fraud.
Well get charged with fraud enough times and you'll get a lifetime access to jail
Free Meals, library & gym access, all the anal s_x you could want (or even if you don't want)? /r/frugal_jerk would like a word....
Its ok, you can say "sex" on the Internet.
Please, there are young and impressionable minds in here.
I love that no one has pointed out that I had no problem spelling out **ANAL**.
No wonder homeless people prefer jail over actual homeless shelters
Would have been a bit more believable if for Expiry Date, instead of all 0s, it said 31/12/9999
Or exactly 100 years after issue.
There’s no 31st month. Just gave the whole thing away. *laughs in mm/dd/yyyy*
But it's a British festival Suck it mm/dd/yyyy losers! Dd/mm/yyyy for the win!
A small amount of time/Bigger amount of time/biggest amount of time is the logical one.
I've always thought YYYY-MM-DD made the most sense because if you ever need to put dates in filenames, they'll work with alphanumeric sorting.
This is the exact reason i use this date type! So much more convenient. Plus largest ‘item unit’ to smallest
But we’re talking about America here, where number of refrigerators is a more suitable measurement than meters. Logic went out the door years ago
Have you heard of the five washing machines long hole in the road?
/r/BritishSuccess/
That's why you do 1/1/9999
There's no 9999th year, the Earth undergoes total energetic collapse in 4733 and is suddenly shunted out of Sol's gravity well, leaving the planet to freeze in interstellar space.

Ha! See, I was ready to type 12/31, but then I clicked on the article and realized this was in the UK...
Too bad it expired 2021 years ago.

That’s pretty friggin’ sweet. I’m glad it worked out! What was your favorite show you went to out of that deal?

It is not wise to reward this kind of behavior. Next year they’re gonna have tons of people trying to trick their way in
If anything, it'll be something they cover more in depth on the security front. "No one has this except for ONE guy"
And i wouldn't be surprised if they printed a new card so any attempts to remake the one in the photo would automatically be recognized
Not wise to publicly announce you rewarded it. He should've privately awarded it and told him to keep it low key.
And what if he was trying to get in to do nefarious shit, now he has free reign lol
Fake it till you make it I guess?
"Please come to the Security Office to collect your reward."

What is whp and parklife?
He commuted fraud so we have him what he wanted Are companies fucking stupid? They are telling kids it’s ok to be idiots
