No cameras, no cell phones, no booze served...

SPEEDY MCCREADY

End of problems at the shows???

Mr. Vedder could make this happen....
Correct?

WhoDey

Agree with the first 2, but no booze? Why punish the majority for a few drunk assholes?

I can't imagine anyone is going to try and enforce a no cell phone rule at a concert. Turning it on vibrate or off? Absolutely. But, what about parents that have young kids at home and need to be reachable? That's a lot to ask of a crowd to not even bring a cell phone.

The other 2 you could definitely do.

Kinda difficult to enforce the no cell rule. And most venues (and artists) would complain about the no booze, due to the fact that they make a boatload of money off of alcohol sales at shows.

SOLAT319

Cornell managed to enforce the rule about the first two.

So what the hell did we do a decade ago when most didn't have cell phones??? How did we ever survive!!!


Remember when you couldn't talk on the phone, unless you were actually home or near a pay phone? It's a miracle we all survived.

No booze = loss of revenue on the highest marked up product a venue sells = never happen.

As someone who really enjoys the setlist relay threads I would hate to see cell phones banned at a show.

It isn't like cell phones have been around for hundreds of years. Couples with small kids used to go to theaters without cell phones. We don't need cell phones.

That's something I would expect already. Most theater venues have a policy that when you leave your seats its at their discretion to reseat you. Hell during sporting events you have to stand at the gate you your section and wait till a break in the action.

xavier mcdaniel

The Beacon didn't have that policy, at least not in the upper balcony. people were freely walking in and out, though that didn't bother me as much as this girl with a really bad sounding laugh.

You're right. I stand in shame. :oops:

No he certainly did not.

I have a couple of pics on my phone and my camera from that show (of course I took the pictures without a flash)... and the crowd was so fucking loud you wouldn't hear a cell phone go off anyway...

Mind you maybe it was different for people who were given tickets in the seats for his shows (the seats that never went on sale to the general public and pushed everyone who paid for a GA ticket to the outskirts of the fucking venue).

Mr. vedder wants intimate shows...
Then he should enforce the rules to keep these as intimate and 'pleasant'? as possible....

No cell phones...
No cameras...
You can leave your seat, but you must wait until intermission to be seated again....

As far as rules towards booze....
I dont know....

usamamasan1

We do need booze though.
Even at Disneyland

Mr Vedder?

PilateOfTheStorm

I guess cameras could be banned - but people sneak it in. And you couldn't ban cell phones, just enforce rules not to use them during the show. In this day and age, and with people having lives, you can't stop them from being able to communicate with others.

Booze - limits should be placed on how many you can get at a show.
IMO - from what I've seen at concerts and what I'm reading about Eddie's shows - its these so called drunk fans that are causing a lot of upset. I think that being that drunk at a show is stupid - you'd just forget everything and also end up being rude if you're not careful, with no inhibitions.

But like people have said, for the venue and because of $$$ - which is what it comes down to essentially- booze could never be banned. But limits can be placed and I think they should. I've seen way too much upset at shows just because of booze.

If you order shit...
