GA Line in Oakland SAFETY CONCERN & what we know from the 2013 show
Costanza
Posts: 23
I'm super excited to see the Oakland shows with everybodym who's attending!
-I live in Oakland. Crime is serious here and the colisium is in a terrible area
-A resturant owner was robbed at gunpoint on Fruitvale ave yesterday. A common occurance in all areas here.
-Golden 1 in Sacramento is an ideal situation/location (minus their recent shooting which elsewhere) See PJ there as well if you can
-It's a possibillity that even in broad daylight people could pull up and rob everyone in line in oakland
-Yes, 3 young women were robbed while waiting at the 2013 show. I was at the show. They made a sign and PJ played Faithful for them.
-in 2013 myself and other fans showed independently up around the same time in the morning
-We pulled in by an entrance and stayed in our cars until more people arrived/the weather warmed up - It was in November
-In that area our cars could have been roadblocked by another should someone have bad intentions
-It turned out there was another group lined up on the other side of the arena/lot
-I witnessed amazing PJ fans calmy discuss the situation and combine the line. Beautiful. It was a guy in a supersonics shirt that he gave to Mike. If you're reading this please chime in
-Even knowing the danger, I still want to arrive in the morning for the full experience with everyone and enter early, maybe get a poster for a fan abroad etc.. I'll own that judgment call
-Maybe I'll stay in my car near the entrance until there's a group of us?
-Perhaps I won't take my wallet and just have my credit card/id in my sock/phone in spare tire area of car or in the underwear area?
Would feel great to be a part of an open line of communication for a safe line situation.
ANY THOUGHTS FROM GA OAKLAND PEOPLE?
