Don't use CA's in CA as a general rule.

Music festivals as a whole are hit or miss (mostly volunteers/chill security checking but get the occasional police undercover) and not really different between states. What state you get doesn't really matter for festivals; people fly in from other countries all the time for festivals. Do you want to drink at the festival (where you'd need a really nice 21+ fake) or just get in (18+ and it pretty much just has to swipe/scan)?

B&L isn't a festival they are club type events and usually dependent on the venue itself. B&L/spaceyacht/etc themselves usually don't care though.

this. I wouldn’t use instate ids really ever, but I knew/know tons of people who use instate IDs and got away with it. It’s really up to you. If it’s just for music festivals I would def go OOS as it may even be more believable you aren’t from Cali.

Like you said, I'm instate and get away with it all the time, I've used Tidal, Ourfakes, and now BB U21 oCA. I look young af too. Idk why people say to not use a CA instate. So i would say YMMV based on my (and other people I know's) anecdotal evidence.

people just say don’t use an X ID in X. It’s better to use Y ID in X state.

the idea stems from the fact that people checking ids see the ID for the state they’re located in far more than out of state IDs, and so they have a better eye on what to look for, while out of states are uncommon but belivable, and the inspector has little idea of what to look for

very smart reply - if the even is in that state, probably start using a far state that they are unaware of.

Insomniac events hire legit bouncers that know their shit at the first ID checkpoint. I've seen them pull out a loupe to look at an ID. May depend which person you get though. I always use my real to get in first then go to ID check inside to get drink wristband. You would need to buy a very good ID to get in

Does insomniac not do bands at entry point? Do you just go to the inside check/bar and say they forgot to band you?

thank you all for your help!!

Not sure if they do bands at entry but I always get the bands inside cuz the ID check people dont know what they're looking at. Once I gave them my Scanny NNY and the girl used a UV light and was like "ohhh cooool so many stars" since the NNY UV is lit lol
I would also scout out which ID check is easier. Some ID check stands actually try but i doubt they know what they're looking at

I promise it is hit or miss because I literally know friends who volunteer for these for fun and have 0 experience and have gotten assigned to check IDs because they get short on staff.
