you've got to "hold the line". Make friends with the people around you and close ranks when they start pushing through It's like a weird adult version of red-rover....with music!
It's probably due to the large number of people on here who seem to think that they absolutely HAVE to have GA at a PJ show and go with the "GA or nothing" mentality.
Never seizes to amaze me the lengths that people try and go to just to be an inch closer to Ed so he can blow his snot on them.
"OMG LAST NIGHT WAS EPIC!! ED BLEW A STRAND OF SNOT ON ME LAST NIGHT, I CAN NOW DIE HAPPY!! EPIC!!"
If he blew his snot on you while singing Hard To Imagine, you'd feel the same way.
Maybe a little bit of truth to that.

I was to the left of the stage on the risers and could not tell what was going on.
It definitely was one of the best LA shows I've been too, and it even came close to Thursday night in San Diego. Like others have said it was really heavy on "TEN" songs.
I loved hearing Garden (1st time), cried during Release and melted through Footsteps.
They played all the songs for "Momma Son" (mini-opera) but not in sequence and in the right order. I wonder if they'll ever do that again?
I was across the floor from Tim Robbins, it was great watching him every once in awhile during the show. He was always on his feet and rocking to the music.

Of course a kid was involved with the ejection story.

Pits are different now too. You kind of go with the "When in Rome" approach. If its a pit a la Springsteen or U2 you stake out a spot and rock out. It's not a mosh pit, so thery'res no pushing or shoving. If you started to push/shove it would be very out of place.
If your at a crazy festival or some event with a big floor section and moshing is going around everywhere.. then yah... of course.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.. lol
LOL, the venom towards "children" is sort of funny... actually, nah, it's a little sad. People actually complaining that children are "tambourine targets" sounds pretty childish too btw. I mean are grown ups really bitching about that? To use an oft and overused phrase from these very forums ... "first world problems".
Anyway, I personally wouldn't bring a child in to a GA section of a concert, but that's a CHOICE I make. But I am curious to hear what age you all deem appropriate? So Pearl Jam and 13 would be no. What about Selena Gomez? Or are we going to arbitrarily categorize artists? Who gets to be the judge and jury? How are we going to prove a 16 year old is 16? What about festivals? Seriously, some of you kind of need to get over yourselves.

Oh I totally get that part, trust me, and I am not trying to be the child evangelist here, but there is a faction that seem to almost be jealous that the young folks get the band's attention, which is well, kind of weird.
This stuff with using kids as props is getting out of control. I love kids and understand the attention they get from band, but a kid has no business in the pit and it is unfair to people around the kid on the shoulders as they cant see and have to be extra careful.
I know that the ejected fan had nothing to do with any kid on someone's shoulder, but I think it's important:
What will it take for people realize that GA is not a safe environment for children??
Do the right thing and leave them home with a babysitter!!
That's quite a leap you just made from "Kids don't belong in GA" (which I mostly agree with) to ". they don't belong in the building at all, leave them home with a babysitter"! WTF?? I know a LOT of people here feel the same way you do, but that's simply NOT your call to make. Some of us have kids who like concerts, do well at them, and I have NEVER put my kids on my shoulders to see, because I don't bring them unless we either have seats or we're on a lawn on a blanket, probably mostly watching the screen. I have definitely allowed my kids to stand on the seats at times, but that just makes them as tall as most adults. They're not blocking anyone's view.
It's fine to object to the kids on teh shoulders... and of course everyone has the right to the opinion that no kids should be allowed at all. I just think that's a bulls**t point of view and have seen too many kids have too good a time (or at least seen enough kids not mind being there and parents who may otherwise not have been able to attend at all grateful that their kid is ok/excited about it, to have the nerve to DECREE that no one under ____ age can attend at all.
I really hope neither the band nor the venues listen to those of you calling for a blacnket "no kids allowed" policy.
And, just want to also point out that I've read many accounts on this tour of kids at teh BACK of GA, back up against the rails, not on their parents shoulders, who could see and were fine. The back of GA is not bad at all. I would NEVER bring my kid into the GA section, much less the front, but it seems like som ekids have bene fine and every show I've been to on this tour (5) the back of GA was totally chill. What is the problem with that as long as the kids' not on someone's shoulders?

Why in the world is everyone believing this person's account of what happened???
Think about it, if it happened the way she tells it, no way would Ed have even noticed her trying to get a "kid" up there. Especially if this woman had been up there in the first place, people would have known and let her through.
This whole story reeks of bullshit. If she wasn't acting like a big enough a**hole to be noticed FROM THE STAGE by the LEAD SINGER who has better things to do than watch someone try to return a kid to the front, allegedly, she wouldn't have been noticed. She had to be acting all kinds of crazy to even be noticed at all, and then to be called out by Ed like that and kicked out of the GA, it had to have been obvoius and egregious.
Think about how many times Eddie Vedder has observed people being pushy at a show. Really. Think about it. 23 years as the leand singer of Pearl Jam... Dude has seen enough douchebags to last 7 lifetimes.
Now ask yourself, if it went down the way she said it, even including her version that people from behind shoved her, really? She was explaning to people along the way "Hey, just trying to get this kid to her/his mom" and they saw a kid with her (I don't believe for a second that any kid was involved at all but let's just take her word for a second) and STILL **EVERYONE** shoved her SO HARD, that from the stage it looked like she was blazing her own trail up to the front by throwing punches and forcing her way up front all alone? Really?
In OKC, a woman walked up from the back of the GA by simply telling people she wanted to ask Eddie if she could propose. We all let her pass without any pushing...

No one believes that bullshit. It just nicely justifies a completely unrelated point that weirdly managed to get attached to this whole thing and allows for a furthering of that agenda.

Thank you for explaining that. I thought people actually believed that the "phantom child that was described but never seen and never existed" was starting to be believed in. Ok everyone, carry on with your "No kids ever at any concert" agenda.
Just know that, no matter what you say, I won't being my kid in the pit (because I never believed in that) but I will still keep bringing my kids to shows. They enjoy it and you don't get to decide who benefits from the money I spend on tickets. But just for the record, I've never waved my kid in front of the band either.
I was uncomfortable watching that. Eddie went from d-bag, to weird, to fucked up, in a matter of a few seconds. He even managed to throw in one of his typical "smart people vote" rants. For such a humble guy, he sure can act like a cunt when he wants to.

Well that was Ed 10 years ago and he's calmed down a lot since then. But yeah, that girl must have been dying inside ... he was very insulting.

IF, and thats a massive "if"' if the woman was telling the truth, we all know how the line number people are. They probably wouldnt let someone in, so eventually the person would stop explaining themselves and just sort of muscle their way in, then eddie yells, all the line waiters who bonded all day start pointing to get her out..

I do like the way strangers link together to thwart evil at shows.
This is still the best.

They enjoy it and you don't get to decide who benefits from the money I spend on tickets. But just for the record, I've never waved my kid in front of the band either.
She sounds like a classy broad.
I'm quite sure Ed does NOT love girls flashing their boobs at him

I was uncomfortable watching that. Eddie went from d-bag, to weird, to fucked up, in a matter of a few seconds. He even managed to throw in one of his typical "smart people vote" rants. For such a humble guy, he sure can act like a cunt when he wants to.
Well that was Ed 10 years ago and he's calmed down a lot since then. But yeah, that girl must have been dying inside ... he was very insulting.
IF, and thats a massive "if"' if the woman was telling the truth, we all know how the line number people are. They probably wouldnt let someone in, so eventually the person would stop explaining themselves and just sort of muscle their way in, then eddie yells, all the line waiters who bonded all day start pointing to get her out..
