What I'd like to know is what's everyone's hard-on with taking pictures at gigs? Why can't peeps just sit back and enjoy the music? I love taking pictures like anyone else and posting them online. I have a phone with an 8.1 MP camera but I mainly use it for taking pictures of my daughter to send to her grannie.
I think that everyone has learned a valuable lesson here... and that is that seated concerts are utterly fucking shit. :thumbup:
You must be a young...Cause when I was below 30 I felt the same way. Now getting a little bit older I like having my little space and have the chance to get up front and not get there 6 hours before the show. I like meeting people at the pre-parties and having a few drinks with them. Also, I normally have to take a piss at the show so as soon as wish list or Thumbing my way comes on I am a pissing mo-fo.
Security should worry about the people who are smoking weed. The smell is awfull.
Don't sit next to me cause Im blazing at least 3 joints through out the show. Has anyone every been kicked at for smoking weed>
i was kicked out of a phillies game for blazing during a rain delay like 5 years ago...at the old vet stadium but never at a concert... in philly at a pearl jam show secerity is usually handing out doobies
I can't see the logic of the OP... you move out of your seat and security tells you to go back... you go back...
my thinking would be "oh fuck, I don't want to create a situation or get tossed" although I personally tend to STAY IN MY SEAT...
add the lady friend and digital camera, and my thinking would be "oh fuck, I don't want my girl to create a situation or cause either one of us to get tossed" although I personally tend to STAY IN MY SEAT...
the key here is STAY IN YOUR SEAT...
any counter argument pointing out security guard behavior that does not recognize the preventative factor of "STAY IN YOUR SEAT" is not an acceptable form of argument...
37 PJ Shows, 3 EV Shows, 1134 Total Songs, 24 Different Openers, 9 Different Closers, 252 Unique Songs (never enough)
i get sick of being crowded in by a bunch of dumbasses roving around the arena trying to score better seats, take pics, or whatever the fuck else dumb douche nozzles like you and your girlfriend do. no disrespect.
:wtf:

The guy sitting right behind me got kicked out, but it doesn't sound like you. They guy behind me spilled beer on me before the show, at which point I said "no biggie".
Then he was spilling beer on my wife right at the start, and she asked him to be careful. Then the guy pushed me (I'm guessing because he didn't want to push her). I pushed him back (probably shouldn't have). Later he was pulling the guys hair next to him, and leaning on the guys on the other side of him (who eventually just switched places with him so he would stop). The guy was absolutely loaded. He got kicked out about 5 songs in and everyone in the area was much, much happier.
security was right. you were wrong. to people who say that he shouldn't have put his hands on this guy's g/f are whacked. if she's the one taking the offense, security has every right to do what is necessary. she was-by your own admission-the aggressor here. you deserved to be booted.

whos knows whats true. no one should be touched though...unless
12 years ago i was in seats off to the side of the stage at a wu tang and rage against the machine concert. i was far enough to the side where i could see the empty seats behind the stage and back drop. kids kept trying to run down the empty sections and jump a good distance to get on the back of the stage. it was impressive. some made it. some didn't. well.. overall no one made it. because every single one of them got the shit kicked out of them before they got 2 more steps. it was amazing. there is no need to jump on stage like that. it was like watching some greatest knock outs volume 3 street fight dvd. actually distracted me from a lot of the show...i easily saw 20 kids getting their lives ruined

I agree 100%. too bad 99.9% of this board are so weak minded that they need to smoke and ruin other peoples night
Weak minded? thats just wrong. Sounds like you like to judge people you do not know. Now remember 99.9% of the time you do that you will be wrong. That is just the nature of judging others you do not know.
Perhaps you would consider a little more open minded approach. Lighten up, free your spirit and enjoy the concert, smell or otherwise.
