Posing as press to sneak into a music festival...

This year, I posed as a member of a medium sized reviewing company to score a VIP pass for a music festival, which allowed backstage entry, free food for crew and I got to meet band members. It was the most risky con I've done so far, but ultimately worth it. I shared it with a few friends, so we could all get free food and stuff. Worked perfectly and was so easy to pull off. All I did was use an email faker which allowed me to set my personal email as the reply address, and continued the conversation from there. And it worked! The pass is shown below but the AAA was covered by permanent marker. AAA means Access All Areas. Alcohol gel managed to remove it, and allowed me to go where ever I wanted!

Useful tip: alcohol gel removes permanent marker from laminate plastic.

That's an awesome idea. Gotta try it when Guns&Roses are coming.
