The mastermind behind this sneaky plan is Adam Boyd from Crewe, UK, who came up with the idea after turning up late to watch The Sherlocks at the Royal Albert Hall in Manchester. “So last night I went to see a band, but we got in late and our view was shite,” he wrote on Facebook. “In my drunken state I edited the band’s Wikipedia page to say I was family, and it worked!”

The quick-thinking teen amended the article so that it said he was the lead singer’s cousin. He even wrote that he influenced the band’s first single!

You can see the edit here.

He showed the page to the bouncer, who allowed him into the VIP section.

Adam hung out in the VIP section for a few songs before returning to his friends downstairs. He would probably take them with him if he believed the plan would work- "I cannot believe it worked. I was expecting to be kicked out for trying". Remember even though the bouncer didn’t notice that Adam changed the Wikipedia page minutes beforehand this plan could easily backfired in many ways, so don't try this yourselves; You could be tossed out of the club, beaten up or even end up in jail.
