21+ to spectate WPT Borgata FT?

I'd be surprised if the answer is no. My younger brother (18 years of age) would like to tag along with myself and a friend. Knowing how much of a stickler Borgata is when it comes to checking ID, I wanted to first see if you have to be 21 even to just spectate the FT.

To go on a casino floor you have to be 21. My brother is 21, but looks young, and we get carded quite a bit there when we go down. If you stay away from the machines and tables, they don't bother you as much, but it'd suck to go all the way down to watch and then have to wait in the car.

Thanks, figured as much.

Try calling the Borgata, but I bet your brother will be OK. The tournament has been running in the Event Center on the second floor, not in the poker room.

Aren't WPT FT's by invite only? Like you need a ticket, which are only given to FT players and casino mucky mucks?

The procedure for the WPT Borgata FT was as follow, there was a viewing room for the FT, if you wanted to view it live they give you a WPT chip. This chip has a number on it, so if someone left the room with the FT, they would call the next number in line to be seated. Was told they try to accomodate eveyone, there were about 200 chips, just have to be patient.
