The festival season is upon us, and we would soon head out to our favourite shows and events. The thrills and chills of concerts, performances and crowd shows are best enjoyed with a good bottle of refreshment, and every rave lover knows this. This fact is prevalent in the amount of drink stands we find at the venues. Large carts and kiosks display a wide array of both alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks for anyone to pay for. And most are from popular brands synonymous with such gatherings.
However, one general factor is present at every festival; the drinks are usually on the pricey side. Because most of these refreshments usually cost about half the price they are put on stands, the venues can be frustrating. Calculating how much you stand to spend on what is lesser than the presented price is annoying. And many of us prefer to enjoy these performances and events with our own personal concocted, special brews and cocktails.
The problem here is, most concerts refuse to allow you to bring in your drinks. How else will they make their cut besides ticket sales, if they leave you to come in with your batch of rave juice? Luckily for most of us, there are ways we can move our drinks in without being discovered. This helps us save cost and enjoy the show at a budget originally planned.
Here, I will be sharing a list of products that will help you smuggle drinks into any festival without being detected. Each product can be easily concealed in obvious places, and the investment spent on them will save you costs for a lifetime. Another advantage is these products are already very affordable, with some adding an extra dose of style and class to your outfit. So, check out the best ways you can successfully smuggle any drink into any festival or concert, and enjoy your favourite brew as you party, without being noticed.
