Intergem new policy and show tickets

I just got an email this weekend from Garden of Beadin'. Intergem is not allowing children under 8 to attend any more. What does everyone think about this? Also, if you want tickets ahead of time, you have to order them from your favorite vendors BEFORE the show. GofB will be taking requests for tickets to the Sept. 10th - 12th San Mateo show until the 7th (eek! that's TODAY!) and for the Sept. 24th - 26th Santa Monica until the 21st. Grab 'em while you can!
