In my book: sneak into == not paying The best story is the one that is not explanatory. The whole point is to take the focus off you. So I would usually start with asking the person how his job is going, or if the band found fix their PA, or just borrow a cigarette, etc. If he asks directly "who are you", depend on who this person is, I'd tell him I'm with the band, with the stage crew, with the press, or a promoter. But really, if you do it right you shouldn't need to explain anything to anyone.

So, uhh, you're stealing and then coming here to brag about it? (Not to mention comparing yourself to Gandhi...) What's that you say? It doesn't count as stealing because you didn't deny the ticket to anybody else? Sure, but everybody else at the concert had to deal with having one extra stinking body taking up room there, didn't they? Seriously. If you wanna steal stuff that's between you and your conscience, but bragging about it just makes you a dick.

  I'm sorry if you feel insulted by my comment. I was merely approving these bargain techniques with my real life experience. And in no way would I ever compare myself to Gandhi. You must have miss-read my writing. Sure, it's technically stealing, in the same way that downloading music is. I don't deny it. If you could take a second to forgive my misdeed, and maybe even consider calling it "selective stealing"? Selective because I only sneak into shows that charges $50+ by musicians who are already rich. On the other hand, I often donate money to smaller independent bands as they come through the non-profit venue I used to help at. I hope my act will balance out (even just a little bit) the heavily screwed music industry. And if I have to endure being called a thief, so be it.
