‘Scoundrel’s’ effort earns a lifetime pass to WHP
A PIZZA shop owner has been given a lifetime access pass to the Warehouse Project after his impressive effort to sneak in for free.
Ellis Hall, 23, tried to fool security at Depot Mayfield with a fake ‘lifetime access pass’ he’d created on Photoshop, ahead of the Adam Beyer Presents Drumcode event on Saturday.
Despite being sussed out by ‘confused’ ticket scanners, the youngster from Darwen, Lancashire, was allowed into the venue to join his girlfriend and mates.
But the following morning he woke to hundreds of messages from his pals, sending him a link to a tweet from Warehouse Project co-founder, Sacha Lord himself.
“A new one last night. Someone tried to get in, by making themselves a ‘Lifetime Access Pass to WHP and Parklife’. Caused a bit of confusion, but impressive,” Mr Lord wrote.
He later added: “Just an update. I’ve been in contact with the little scoundrel and given him a Lifetime Access for effort.”
Speaking to the M.E.N, Ellis, who is a keen graphic designer, said he now plans to go to Warehouse Project every weekend, and says he’s even given Mr Lord a lifetime pass for his pizza shop in return.
“I have always been into graphic design and my girlfriend does the ticket scanning on the door so she got a free ticket for Saturday night,” Ellis said.
“I thought if it’s just volunteers doing the scanning it will probably be quite easy to get in.”
He has now offered Sacha Lord a lifetime pass to his pizza shop in Darwen, Eddie’s Woodfire Pizza, if the night time economy advisor ever happens to be in the local area.
