The 42-year-old takes a continued alcohol from his 24-ounce can of Pabst Dejected Ribbon, a aqueous beam of atrocity in his eyes. He’s in a bar in the adumbration of Yankee Stadium, and now, on the black of September 15, 2017, he’s account abroad from attempting his latest hustle: He’s activity to airing into the amphitheater afterwards a ticket.

A aide from Westchester County, New York, he has bamboozled his way into hundreds of antic contest in his life. He’s airish as a affiliate of the Abstruse Account absorption a presidential candidate, as a sailor during Fleet Week, alike as a Good Samaritan blame an aged woman in a wheelchair through a gate. He’s hopped turnstiles and run like he was on a bastille break, begin apart doors, acted like he was in Spike Lee’s associates and played the role of a country barbarian who absent his ticket.
“The key is confidence,” he says as he places his tallboy on the board bar in the South Bronx. “Act like you’re declared to be there, bro, and they’ll consistently acquire you. I mean, always.”
A additional sneaker strolls through the Las Vegas summer evening, striding alternating the Strip, the neon lights aflame in the balmy arid night. It is August 26, 2017, and in this burghal of risk-taking, the 32-year-old bartender from England is an hour abroad from the bigger activity of his life.
Dressed in his finest suit—it’s allotment of the costume, allotment of the hustle—he’s acute to betray his way into one of the best big-ticket seats in the history of boxing: the advanced row of the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight. Nearing T-Mobile Arena, his adventuresomeness fueled by assorted afternoon cocktails, he tells himself: I will do this. I can do this.
A third sneaker cases the alfresco of Oracle Amphitheatre in Oakland, California, boring walking about its parking lots bristles hours afore Bold 7 of the NBA Finals. It is June 19, 2016, and the apprentice from the University of Texas is analytic for his befalling to baffle aegis and accomplish them acquire he’s article he’s not: a reporter. Alone and now about to attack the aboriginal bastard of his activity into a antic event, he whispers to himself, If I acquire it, they’ll acquire it. If I acquire it, they’ll acquire it.
He keeps affective and assessing the scene, his moment of reckoning at hand, his beating quickening. This is what about every sneaker says they acquaintance at this do-or-don’t crossroad: a blitz of adrenaline added able than any narcotic.
Yes, to best of them, the bastard is a alluring pursuit.
Sneaking into antic contest is a attitude that dates aback to, well, apparently the aboriginal recorded antic accident in history, a footrace at the Olympics in Greece in 776 B.C. There are the old-school methods of cheating in with the bandage or bathrobe up as a amphitheater bell-ringer or bottomward through a aperture in an outfield fence. But cheating in the age of all-knowing aegis cameras (not to acknowledgment all-knowing iPhones) has aloft the stakes: It’s now harder than anytime to balk detection—and to abstain a abomination arrest charge.
There are no statistics that detail how boundless cheating is today, but afterwards weeks of analytical this phenomenon, B/R Mag can affirm this: It happens a lot—certainly with added abundance than any amphitheater abettor would like you to know.
On a contempo night at Yankee Stadium, for instance, a anchorman watched a dozen bodies blooper into a distinct access 30 account afore the aboriginal pitch. With admission prices to antic contest at best highs, abounding sneakers actualization themselves as modern-day Robin Hoods, as ballsy outlaws who are continuing up to the fat-cat aggregation owners who acquire fabricated it added difficult for the alive chic to appear able antic events.
“I consistently appetite to buy a admission to the games,” says Joe from Westchester County, the sneaker now sitting in a bar on 161st Street alfresco of Yankee Amphitheater who has asked that his aftermost name be withheld because he has no affairs to stop sneaking. “But aback I get to the amphitheater and can’t acquisition a admission that I can afford, I say to myself, ‘Fuck it, I’ll aloof go for free.’”
Strolling alfresco Oracle Arena, with Bold 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals bristles hours away, Micah Poag looks annihilation like a 19-year-old academy student. This is by design, all allotment of the charade.
Like best acceptance at the University of Texas at Austin, Micah is accustomed with the boozy activity on Sixth Street, a six-block amplitude in city Austin lined with confined and juke joints. Micah, now a inferior accounts major, has apparent several of his arrears accompany use affected IDs to accretion access to the altered bubbler establishments.
This spawns an idea. “I thought, ‘What if I fabricated my own affectionate of affected ID for the NBA Finals?” Micah says. “I originally anticipation I would go in attractive like a amphitheater worker, but afresh I anticipation it would aloof be easier if I fabricated a columnist canyon and went as a reporter. And I ample anybody knows what an ESPN canyon would attending like because ESPN has been about forever, but Bleacher Report is this advancing armpit that has legitimacy, so I anticipation B/R was the way to go.”
A few canicule afore Bold 7, sitting in his Austin apartment, Micah texts a few of his accompany and angrily declares he’s activity to buy a alike admission and bastard into the NBA Finals; his buddies are dubious. But Micah is bent to aback up his words. He Googles “Bleacher Report columnist passes” and studies several images. He afresh active to a bounded FedEx appointment and spends an hour application Photoshop to architecture his B/R credential. For finishing touches of authenticity, he uses a laminator and attaches the “credential” to a lanyard.
Editor’s note: Yes, he absolutely did pretend to assignment for our site. But no, Bleacher Report does not disregard or endorse this affectionate of move, which could aftereffect in bent charges, and there are no about accessible images of what one of our accepted columnist accreditation would attending like.
A ablaze fan of the Warriors and abnormally of backstab MVP Stephen Curry—he abstruse about the aggregation amphitheatre Xbox—Micah knows able-bodied the aberration amid watching an accident from central the amphitheatre as against to the couch, to him a aberration as affecting as aerial aboriginal chic against coach. He grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and sat in the advanced row of Dallas Stars hockey amateur and abaft home bowl for Texas Rangers baseball.
“You feel like you’re allotment of the aggregation aback you’re that close,” he says.
Micah allotment to his computer. He researches what reporters about abrasion to awning NBA basketball games; he sees that abounding macho reporters dress in Oxford dejected shirts and biscuit pants. He buys a last-minute $300 alike admission online and stuffs his credential and anchorman accoutrements into a bag.
A day afterwards he’s alfresco the arena, a Bleacher Report “credential” dangling from his neck. He circles Oracle alert on foot. He sees a attendant abreast a door. Micah wonders if this guy should be his mark—is he the one who will be assertive abundant to acquire his media ID is legitimate?
Oliver Regis, a 32-year-old bartender from Stamford, Lincolnshire, a boondocks 90 afar arctic of London, spends the afternoon of the Mayweather-McGregor activity lounging at Wet Republic, the developed amphitheater at the MGM auberge featuring abyssal pools and amphitheater bars. He pounds several Bud Lights and vodka cranberries. His affection for McGregor is axiomatic to all: He has a boom of the fighter emblazoned on his appropriate thigh.

Minutes afterwards tickets for the activity went on auction two months earlier, the bartender with the baldheaded arch purchased a nosebleed bench on Ticketmaster for $2,500. But he has no affairs to sit abreast the rafters of T-Mobile Arena; he aboveboard tells strangers at the basin that he’s activity to baffle his way assimilate the amphitheatre akin and into the advanced row.
The hours pass, and Oliver keeps drinking, animating his confidence. “The aboriginal time I did this for a activity I was 20 years old and I was so nervous,” Oliver says. “But that was 12 years ago. Now I aloof acquire a few drinks afore the activity and I’m accessible to go.”
Around 5 p.m. Oliver leaves the basin and allotment to his MGM auberge room, breadth he showers and changes into a light-gray clothing he had afresh purchased for $190. The suit, he believes, will advice him alloy in with the admirable people—and the affluent and the famous—who will abide the seats abutting to the ring.
Still bashed from his day of drinking, he lumbers to a adjacent Outback Steakhouse and eats an eight-ounce filet—his accustomed pre-sneak meal. Two hours later, he easily his admission to an conductor at T-Mobile and sidles into the arena.
Now his adrenaline is pumping as his eyes bound aback and forth, analytic for his best avenue to the attic seats. Oliver is attractive for the weakest articulation in security—an absent guard, a assemblage of bodies calamity one entrance. But he anon realizes that every cher admission on the amphitheatre attic has to be scanned, one by one, by an usher. Worse, every conductor appears as austere and ascetic as a judge.
Oliver is crestfallen. Yet aloof then, in the aphotic ambit in the belly of the arena, he spies two actual large, actual able-bodied white men in catchbasin acme affective against a attic entrance. In a heartbeat, Oliver realizes this is his chance.
Joe from Westchester nears Yankee Stadium. He stops at a bodega, walks to the aback of the baby grocery abundance and approaches two locals who bouncer a door. Joe nods his head, the aperture swings open, and he accomplish into an accessible courtyard, breadth about 100 bodies are bubbler and dancing to salsa music. Swinging by this artful affair is allotment of Joe’s accustomed pregame bastard accepted at Yankee Stadium.
“This is breadth the Bleacher Creatures get it cranked up afore games,” Joe says. “The bodies I acclimated to bastard in with, this is breadth we’d hang. This is how we do it!”
Standing in the amphitheater patio, Joe begins to acquaint stories. In the aftermost 15 years, he says, he has sneaked into about every iconic New York venue: Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Radio Burghal Music Hall, Nassau Coliseum and Giants Stadium, to name a few.
“You consistently appetite to chase for the breadth of atomic resistance,” Joe says in his blubbery New York accent. “And afresh aback you get to the gate, you allegation to acquisition the being demography the tickets who looks like they don’t affliction about their job. If there’s a mad blitz of bodies activity in all at once, it’s usually accessible to accelerate abaft an conductor because the conductor is so overwhelmed. And best ushers don’t appetite confrontation.”
For example, Joe says, at Wayne Gretzky’s aftermost bold at the Garden in 1999, he went with a acquaintance and aloof bankrupt through security. “Then we both ran in adverse directions. There was so abundant anarchy that the conductor didn’t do anything.”
Or, Joe says, he’ll buy a admission for the aboriginal night of a four-day concert, afresh acquisition an ambagious avenue door. “I’ll put band over the lock so the aperture shuts, but it won’t lock,” he says. “Then I’ll use that aperture the abutting three nights.”
Another time, Joe says he saw an aged man blame his wife in a wheelchair alfresco Yankee Amphitheater and asked, “Can I advice you?” Afresh he pushed the woman, who had a admission about her neck, through the gate. “Security never asked me for my ticket.”
During Fleet Week in New York, afterwards alike alteration into a Naval uniform, Joe says he blends in with the sailors as aegis lets them into Yankee Amphitheater for free. “When the gates open,” he says, “I airing in with them.”
Another time, aback a presidential applicant came to Yankee Stadium, Joe says he saw the Abstruse Account escort, so he put his appropriate duke to his ear, artful the agents, and approved to airing in with them.
“A [Secret] serviceman spotted me and yelled at me, so I larboard but was never absolutely detained—and I afterwards snuck in anyway.”
And already at a battle bout at Radio Burghal Music Hall, Joe says there was a aperture to the ancillary of the capital access workers were application for smoke breaks. “Once that aperture opened, I aloof absolved in like I belonged there. That’s so important: Act like you belong.”
Joe leaves the bodega affair and walks out into the New York twilight, the night affluent with possibility. He meanders about Yankee Stadium, analytical anniversary access as if he’s a architecture ambassador attractive for a structural weakness. Afterwards a few account of allocation up the scene, he sees what he’s attractive for.
He makes his move.
Micah Poag approaches a attendant continuing abutting to a aperture at Oracle Arena. He abstracts he has one attempt at conning his way in afore he attracts the absorption of law enforcement. But aback he is aloof a few anxiety abroad from the janitor, his fretfulness anchor him. He turns back.
He continues his apathetic airing about the stadium, hunting for his opportunity. Account afterwards he spots a window washer abreast addition door. Micah presses forward, acquisitive the washer has a key to alleviate the door. Holding his credential and pointing at the door, he asks to be let inside. He repeats himself. Afresh again.

The window washer doesn’t allege English.
But the washer understands that Micah wants the aperture opened. So the window washer raps his anchor on the metal door. Seconds later, a aegis bouncer pushes it open.
This is a worst-case book for Micah. But he anon remembers how his boyish accompany aback in Austin bamboozled bouncers at bars—by exuding aplomb and by acting acutely absent at the absolute moment of the interaction, appropriately banishment the bouncer to feel as if they are in some way aggravation the affected ID holder.
Holding his credential in one duke and his cellphone in the other, Micah squeezes through the door. He pretends like he’s ambidextrous with an burning amount on his phone, texting away, his face contorted. He takes about a dozen accomplish into Oracle, assertive abandon is alone anxiety away. But afresh the bouncer yells, “Hey!”
Micah keeps his arch active in his phone, blockage in character, his affection thumping, affectation he doesn’t apprehend her. Afterwards a few added steps, he acclaim lifts his eyes and aback sees a safe haven: the men’s bathroom.
He enters a stall. The changeable aegis bouncer doesn’t follow. At one point he leaves the bath and takes a photo of the abandoned arena, which he Snapchats to 100 accompany with the words, “Hands afraid account angelic shit.”
Then he allotment to the bathroom, sits on a toilet and—wanting to break disregarded and attending preoccupied—he pulls his pants down.
For the abutting two hours, he doesn’t move.
When a badge administrator and a bomb-sniffing dog ambit through the bathroom, Micah doesn’t budge, his khakis still comatose at his ankles.
Inside T-Mobile Amphitheatre in Las Vegas, out on the lower akin of the capital concourse, Oliver recognizes the faces of the two able-bodied men: They are the bodyguards for Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Oliver had watched the pre-fight columnist conferences, allotment of his pre-sneak reconnaissance. “You never apperceive what advice you’re activity to need,” he says. During a presser, McGregor alleged Mayweather’s bodyguards “juicehead turkeys,” bidding the cameras to actualization their faces. Now central T-Mobile, Oliver identifies Mayweather’s aegis team.
Oliver race-walks to the bodyguards, acute so abutting abaft them he can aroma their cologne. The ushers beachcomber the bodyguards through the checkpoint—and Oliver as well. As he walks abutting to the ring, Oliver feels like he’s aloof entered his own Eden—and like he’s aloof bagged the bigger albatross in all of Vegas.
He sits in the third row for the activity afore the capital event. He looks about and is pinch-me-now flabbergasted: LeBron James is in his row. Mike Tyson is a row abaft him and Leonardo DiCaprio is about 10 anxiety away. But afresh P. Diddy, his adherent and his associates footfall near. Oliver is in one of their seats. A aegis bouncer approaches Oliver and asks to see his ticket. “My adherent has it. Let me go get her,” he replies. He rises to leave—he snaps a quick selfie with P. Diddy.
Wandering ringside, he can’t advice himself. He poses for selfies with the brand of Tyson, Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. Oliver is in sneak-in nirvana, experiencing the consummate hour of his cheating career.
He allotment to an abandoned bench in the eighth row.
The activity starts and Oliver is hypnotized, audition the grunting of the fighters and the agitated smacks of cuff and flesh. At one point he turns to a man abaft him and asks him how abundant he paid for his ticket.
“It amount me $45,000 to be here,” the man says.
Oliver so abominably wants to acquaint the man his cheating story, but he fears his awning could be blown. He’ll allotment his abstruse anon enough.
Micah rises from the toilet central Oracle Arena. He wanders out assimilate the avenue now abounding with bags of fans. He lets out a abysmal breath; the kid has done it.
He finds an abandoned bench abreast the arena’s top rim—“I didn’t appetite to columnist my luck by activity bottomward low,” he says—and watches the aboriginal division of Bold 7. A man arrives and informs Micah that he’s in his seat. Not absent to account a stir, Micah leaves. For the blow of the game, he hopscotches about Oracle, examination LeBron and Steph from accomplish and aisles and portals. During it all, he believes this is absolutely possibly the greatest day of his life.
After the game, Micah active bottomward to the court, breadth the Cavaliers are adulatory their aboriginal NBA title. A aegis administrator stops him, but Micah bullishly flashes his “press credential” and is coiled forward. He takes a selfie afore addition administrator realizes his columnist canyon doesn’t acquire the words “all-access” on it. Micah is told he can’t go any farther.

A assignment for the future, however, has aloof been learned.
At an access amid above the Yankee Amphitheater outfield, Joe from Westchester spots a aegis bouncer who looks like he’d rather be anywhere than alive a baseball game. He’s alveolate and consistently blockage his watch. This is Joe’s affectionate of man.
Joe places a few items on a agent belt to run through a metal detector. Then, continuing abaft a few fans, he waits until the aegis bouncer is distracted. Joe grabs his accouterments and stealthily glides into the amphitheater unnoticed. The affluence of this bastard is staggering.
Joe plants himself in the advanced row out in larboard field. “Just addition day at the office, bro,” he says. “Just addition day at my Yankee Amphitheater office.”
Joe turns to watch an at-bat, a devilish beam addition beyond his face.
Shortly afterwards watching Mayweather account a abstruse knockout over McGregor in the 10th round, Oliver allotment to his MGM auberge room. Aback in the U.K., several of his accompany had apparent him on television in the crowd, and he responds to dozens of afraid argument messages. Alone in his room, he senses his activity may acquire changed.
He posts pictures on Facebook and Twitter. He sends emails to reporters in the U.K., account his bastard and allurement them if they’d pay him for an interview. Two accede to his demands. A London anchorman calls him at 3 a.m. Within hours, the adventure of his bastard alcove about every bend of the globe. [B/R Mag did not pay Oliver for his cooperation.]
“I capital to accomplish money, and I capital to be famous,” says Oliver, who was never contacted by any authorities. “I was on television in the United States and in Australia. The BBC came to my pub for a story. It’s awe-inspiring to say, but I’m now like a bounded celebrity actuality at home.”
Oliver afresh went out for a night of bubbler with his buddies in his boondocks Stamford, Lincolnshire. Afore walking into the aboriginal pub, Oliver bets his boys that bristles strangers will ask him for selfies. His accompany appropriately acquire the £20 wager.
Oliver is way off. By the end of the evening, added than 20 bodies acquire their account taken with the bartender who hustled his way into seats added admired than Oliver’s own activity savings.
For Oliver, the chase for his abutting account already is underway.
The account of the Bold 7 bastard campaign at bastardize acceleration throughout Austin, powered by Micah’s Facebook posts assuming images of the night he outwitted aegis at Oracle Arena.
At fraternity parties, in bars, alike in class, acceptance amusement Micah like a acquisition hero, about throwing rose petals at his anxiety for affairs off his adventuresome scam. A acquaintance acts as his arranger and sets up an account with a Dallas radio station. Afterwards Micah’s appearance, several belief are accounting about the kid who bamboozled his way into the bigger NBA bold of the season.
The Oakland commune advocate isn’t amused, allurement Micah to fly aback to California for a contiguous meeting. Micah obliges. To abstain case on a arrest charge, Micah writes a dozen acknowledgment letters—to the Warriors, to the NBA, to the aegis close assassin for Bold 7. He is banned from all NBA amateur for a year and afresh completed association service.
Does Micah affliction his stunt? He’s bistro cafeteria in an Austin restaurant and, afore answering, takes a continued sip of water. All amphitheater sneakers excel at account the anatomy accent of others, of detecting—in poker parlance—classic tells. But now Micah is expressionless.
He explains that he fears how the Oakland DA will actualization his words. “I’ll say this: I acquire added aplomb now than I’ve anytime had in my life, and it’s because of what I did,” Micah says. “I was able to do article that no one anticipation I could, and that absolutely has fabricated me acquire in myself. I about feel like I’m a altered being now, a bigger person, a being who believes in himself.”
He’s asked again: Does he affliction his sneak?
Now Micah can’t abolish his own tell.
He smiles.
