Northlands is making adjustments to the underage area at the K-Days south stage after hearing complaints from concertgoers.

The area open to minors is located to the side of the stage. Alcohol is served in the centre area and the licensing restricts that space to those who are 18 and older, said Lori Coté, Northlands’ public relations manager.

Feimoon Choy, 16, was really disappointed by the location of the all-ages area when she and her friends went to see X Ambassadors on July 22.

“Honestly, it kind of sucked. A concert is supposed to be something fun and personal and you feel very secluded off to the side like that,” she said.

This is the first time K-Days has restricted the main area to 18-plus and cordoned off an all-ages space, said Choy. In years past, it’s the beer gardens that have been separated.

“I don’t think it was very well planned,” she said, explaining the concerts are a major draw to K-Days for teens.

Choy estimated there were more people in the all-ages area even though it was a fraction of the space open to those 18 and older.

She tweeted her concerns the night of the concert. “Segregating minors from a concert venue is not cool Its ridiculous and I wasted so much money KDaysyeg,” she wrote.
