gate crasher
Party without invitation
A gate crasher is someone who enters a party, event, or venue without an invitation or ticket.
The term evokes physically pushing past barriers, though most gate crashing involves social maneuvering rather than force: Security caught two gate crashers trying to sneak into the concert.
Also spelled as one word: gatecrasher.
