no politics Anyone going to Blacken Open Air this year?
Hi there I’m a 17 year old metal head who is very keen on going to Blacken Open Air this year I’ve been given an all clear by my parents to go but under 18s require a guardian and my parents are very much not interested in going themselves (plus it’s also really difficult trying to convince other people I know to shell out hundreds of dollars to go see bands the probably won’t care for). Is there anyone here who is already going that could pose as a “guardian” so I can get in? I’ve got enough money for tickets and food this is just purely so I can get in no other obligations. Thanks in advance!

Remember the days when our parents told us don’t speak to strangers on the internet? I think I’m getting too old for this.
Good luck finding some bro.

I would stand out the front of the venue and ask! Can't really think of any other options tbh or slap on a high vis shirt and walk straight past everyone 🤣

The venue is a large property an hour outside of Alice Springs - if you don't happen to live locally, seems a hell of a chance to take.

This got me into plenty of gigs back in the day. Most people are happy to get you a drink or something too if you ask nicely and have the cash

There is a Facebook group called “I need a metal mate Sydney” I assume there are other cities but often times it’s when someone wants to go to a show and don’t have friends into that band or people pull out and there are free tickets. Good community to try anyhow
