gate-crash
Sneak into parties
To gate-crash is to enter an event without an invitation or ticket—showing up at a party you weren't invited to, or sneaking into a concert.
The noun gate-crasher describes someone who does this.
The term implies boldness or cheek rather than stealth: He gate-crashed the wedding reception and stayed for cake.
