Dimi's point about not needing a list if people are humane to each other and don't behave like spoiled kids is totally on point. Freakin line up, walk in and get as close as you can and you'll have a sweet time.

i don't think that was his point, but okay....

There was a list??????!! What the fuck?! It's called General Admission, people. I'm shocked. The list is so obviously BS. But it does explain why some people were dicks when I tried to get up front. General Admission is general admission. No one is entitled to any specific spot! You're entitled to roam anywhere you want within the general admission parameters.

The list has nothing to do with you not being able to worm your way to the front. List or no list, people up front want to stay up front, and there is no reason they should let you get in front of them when they are already there filling that space.

Screw waiting in line all day or any stupid list.

It's called GENERAL ADMISSION for a reason. I'll show up late, walk right up to the stage, and stand in front of you.

You want a number? Go sit in a reserved seat.

Nothing irks me more than going to a concert, making my way up to the stage, and having someone tell me I'm in their 'spot' or crowding their 'area' because they were there first. Well guess what? I got a beer, took a piss, and I'm here now.

This is rock concert people. We're not waiting in line for Subway fucking sandwiches.

ALSO not cool.

Bullshit, this guy is absolutely right ! Its a GA show and I will stand wherever the fuck I want when I want. I will be civil but if you act like a bitch or a TFL then its on !

So what are you saying?? If people won't let you just stand in front of them when they were there first, then what do you do?? Physically move them and take their spot?? :roll: This doesn't make any sense. You think you should be able to displace people already there when they aren't willing to do so? ... You'll get kicked out of the pit by security doing that shit.

but im against all those who never see pj from GA and dont understand the how away different experience is and make the fuckin list the number 1 problem on the planet cos they dont want the GA at pj concert and try to find every fuickin excuse and problem to create a situation that GA sucks
well,its not....and the band proves it by making the last place on the planet,North America ,GA shows as well
an dputs their best shows ever

Well I guess since I meet some of the criteria of your comment, I'd just like to say that while I of course don't speak for anyone but myself, I THINK that there is a group of people who's primary concern has nothing to do with GA, rather it has more to do with the potential for something tragic. Now, from some additional comments that have been made ITT, perhaps that is not an issue. But in just reading through here you can see some people are infuriated by this list and that anger appears to be somewhat escalating. I'm not opposed to GA if it is done in orderly fashion which is clearly currently open for debate, at least for US shows.

For the record, my 10C number is so poor that GA actually benefits me in the lottery because I personally will choose reserved every time.

Everyone seems angrier on the internet. Seriously, there is no indication whatsoever IRL and in person that this scene would ever get violent or dangerous. Especially not if you are further back in the line, aka acting like a normal person.

It was definitely your posts that I was referring to (that made it clear that it isn't so bad).

You mean further back where it was harder to hear the wicked witch everyone is talking about?

Oh no, people could hear HER out on the streets, inside the skytrain station, probably on the other side of the arena.... It's just that anyone further back isn't even aware of what's going on up there with the list, aside from the screaming crazy lady. Although of course we did all notice some very warm and freshly showered folks walking by us and heading up to the front... nothing people way back in the line can do because they aren't the ones people are cutting directly in front of, and we don't know how long the people have been gone. The people further up need to be the ones keeping them from cutting back in line after being gone for hours, but no one does.

whats with the tough guy bully act my friend?

if i am standing in a spot, whether i waited all day or i just got there, then that is my spot... and i would love to see you try and take it or move me :roll:

to the annoying leaches that try to squirm their way closer and closer to the stage at any sign of daylight please just stop... there is nothing worse then the entitled drunk fan trying to grab every inch of space they can to get closer to the stage... we have all seen them and they are annoying as hell and quite childish... just grab a spot and chill the fuck out assholes, it's a matter of a few feet in either direction we are talking about here? :roll:

to the people that sign the list and leave for hours... stop being entitled assholes taking advantage of a system...

to the people that act like they are running the concert with their notebooks and barking out orders, please just shut up, you arent anyones boss and nobody is paying you any mind...

GA at arena shows is the best thing they have done since the lottery... for a ton of reasons... and i assume they will keep it for arena shows... so all of you entitled assholes with numbers on your hand, all you bully assholes that show up and push your way to the front, and to the leaches who try to squeeze every inch out of any space they see to get closer, chill the fuck out, get your ass in line@ 6am like the other crazies if you want to be on the rail, and if not just relax and enjoy the show from your spot 8 feet behind the rail? i mean seriously, i thought most fans around here were adults at this point?

you are wrong... as about as wrong as you can be actually... you are not entitled to roam into my spot or my space if i am standing there... and if there is 3 inches in front of me you are not entitled to leach in front of me and fill the tiny crack...

where do you people come from? a bunch of entitled fucking assholes :roll:

ok so we arrive around 3pm. building security moved the ga line to where we would be entering. at this point you could not join the line without having your tickets and wristbands and clearing security first. ok so we line up for almost 30 minutes to get these. we then head up to the line where we were told to sign our own names on a few pieces of paper left on a garbage can and to also mark our own hands. we were somewhere in the 80s.

So around 5pm we are told to organize ourselves. this worked ok and everyone fell into place. then around 530 we are told to move and line up SINGLE FILE around a rail. of course people (at the back of the line) took this opportunity to quickly place themselves in front of the numbered people who were trying to move. one lady kept screaming that security would not let us in unless we were single file on that rail. well that was full of shit and again people would not move, nor were they single file and nor did security even give a shit or say anything.

when it came time to enter at 630, security made 4 lines to enter. everyone mad rushes the lines and as you can tell the numbering system was completely thrown out.

once inside, everyone made a mad dash to the stairs to the floor, pushing and shoving.

what a nightmare, my perfect seats in section 105 row 2 were fucking fabulous. the hell with that nonsense, too old for that shit

It is when we're standing in it! It's not if we leave it. I think you're a bit confused.

Yeah, no shit. What's with this shit about ugly people?? The only ugly I care about is the ugliness inside. So maybe someone stuck the ugly stick up your butt?
