Pranksters sneak into Kendrick Lamar concert disguised as clean-up crew
Updated: May 17, 2018
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Some might call it the perfect crime, while others might say it was just plain stupid. Two local college students disguised as the “clean up crew” snuck into the Kendrick Lamar concert Tuesday night with ease.
They documented the whole thing on social media as they dressed up like members of the “clean up crew,” wearing orange vests and toting giant trashcans they got at Wal-Mart.
“We are doing the employee parking they said,” said the girl in the video.
Then, they were let right in through the employee entrance. The guy and girl then headed to a Porta-Potty to take off their disguises.
“Don’t know what to do with this,” said the girl about her uniform.
Once they ditched the clothes, they then enjoyed the show, blending in among the sea of paying concertgoers.
While some people have commended their actions, not everyone is a fan of what they did.
“It’s a form of theft, you’re stealing from the artist, you’re stealing from the venue and it’s unacceptable,” said Kymberlee Boetcher.
She works at the Isleta Amphitheater and said it also presents concerns about safety.
“After all the incidents, like the Ariana Grande concert and stuff like that, there’s a lot of security concerns,” she said.
And clearly, these two had no trouble walking in like they worked there.
“I’m gonna give their names to my boss… I hope they get in trouble,” she said.
KRQE News 13 reached out to Live Nation, which hosts events at the venue. Live Nation is aware of the incident, but have yet to comment on the matter or the safety concerns it raises.
