It comes down to the fundamental component of why Destiny has been around as long as we have. If we don't allow the new generation of electronic music fans to experience our events, their won't be any left a few years down the road. Evidence of this can be seen around 2000 when many of the "rave" promoters dissapeared and only club events survived. For the next few years the scene appeared to be headed for extinction. With hard work and a dedication to quality we were able to convince the younger crowd to check out the electronic scene once more and now things are thriving.
We know from experience that less than 25% of our clientele is ever under 19 so its certainly not a normal all ages crowd. However, it is important that they experience the future and get a chance to form opinions about the real thing!

Absolutely true. 
It's also the young clubbers that become leaders of the scene too... over in Europe djs/producers are getting younger and younger so the scene will always be healthy with quality music for years to come. We need the same for North America too.
Everyone recounts their first rave/event as their most special one and that's no exeption for me. Ironically my first rave was Destiny 31 and I wasn't 19 yet either... the experience was so inspiring that I became a dj and 6 years later I'm playing a Destiny event.
Needless to say my paradigm could've ended up very differently if I was stuck with the musical norm until I was old enough to attend raves, so I'm thankful I had the opportunity to experience this culture fairly young.
I'll always be in support of companies like Destiny who advocate the future of the scene and I'll never mind seeing underagers at events as long as they're acting responsibly.
