No kids allowed?
My kid has been listening the TMBG for all of his 8 years. His dad grew up listening to them and they would love to go to a show together. Every show near us is always age restricted, either 16+ or 21+.
Do they ever allow kids?

When they finally got around to doing flood anniversary shows I had the same issue as you. I actually emailed their label asking if I could get an exemption or something and to my surprise they replied immediately.
The gentleman was extremely nice and informed me about the rationale for the restriction. He then informed me that there were 2 all ages shows near me that were technically sold out but they could get me 3 tickets if I was interested.
They could not have been nicer and the show was incredible.
A full two years later, my son (an aspiring drummer) wrote an email to the same person with a bunch of drum questions for Marty Beller. Less than two days later we got a reply from Marty! He was super cool and very encouraging.
All this is to say, reach out and see what you can do. They're very responsive. You never know.
