gatecrasher

Party without permission

A gatecrasher is someone who enters a party, event, or venue without an invitation or ticket.

The term implies deliberate intrusion rather than innocent mistake: Security removed several gatecrashers from the reception.

The verb is gatecrash: We gatecrashed the after-party.
