Question underragers at the tunnels

last night i went to the tunnels, to see elevation,the genics and short notice.the place was pretty dead when we got there and didnt seem to fill up at all.within five minutes of sitting down we were approached my a tall balding man in a suit.we were told by him that if we didnt buy drinks we could get out.he said this like he knew what he was doing was wrong and couldnt seem to give any good reasons for it when i questioned this.so we bought drinks.as far as we could see he hadnt said this to anyone else and we were the only underagers there.the place was still kinda dead and boring after the first band (who were actually very good) so as we were about to leave for drummonds we were approached by a man with a shaved head also in a suit.he told us to get out because we were underage.but why were we allowed in in the first place?and why did he tell us to get out after we had been sitting there and drinking (coke) all evening?he threw us out onto the streets when our lifts werent for another few hours where anything could have happened and it wasnt like we were even taking up space for other drinkers.seems pretty dodgy to me.we were treated like hooligans when we were just sitting and chatting and enjoying the music.i kno im not the only underage person who feels cheated by the tunnels but i was just wandering is this a common occurance?does anybody else underage (or not) feel they were treated harshly and rudely by members of staff at the tunnels?

I think ur missing the point here.we paid to get in.we should have been told here to get lost if indeed it was an over18s night.and why did they only chuck us out after they made us buy drinks?bribing the customers...tut tut.
