A great strategy but has its limits. Just a few weeks ago some guys tried a rather good version of this strategy in Estonia to sneak into a Rammstein concert. Not only did they have high-vis vests, but one of them also had high-vis pants, both of them had working gloves and they were carrying a ladder. [1]

It didn't work out though, they didn't get past security. I think one of the major flaws in their attempt was that they arrived too late, thousands of regular people were already on the premises. They should have come early in the morning.

Never mind that most stage hands wear exclusively black, not high-viz. A concert is probably one of the few places where seeing someone in a high-viz outfit stands out.

I have successfully deployed this strategy by just dressing in black and carrying around a heavy duty speakon cable. Worked every time.
