    I was about 3 back in front of Mike and gettin a first hand view of these weirdos on the rail made me never want to be up there. Corniest group of people I’ve ever seen 
    Exactly! Thats why we need to be able to let others get the chance to be there and not get shut out by the rail mafias shenanigans.

    Can we please ride the high of the tour, be grateful for the band, and the squabbling. 
    There are plenty of threads that cover a multitude of topics. Try one of those!
    YEAH! We’re being negative and wasting energy on GA lines here! The guys just finished a fantastic tour with fantastic shows. So let us just keep getting wound up over lines! It’s important in the world right now!!!
    But in all seriousness, with everything in the world going on, who actually gives a crap who’s in front row for a concert. I just truly don’t get it…. It changes the outcome of the concert that much for you? I’ve never camped out for rail, and idc who does or doesn’t or where they sit or stand. Just have a good time  
    Apparently the same group who is up front for every concert?

    I would say that depends on your height...and if you want to be behind people raising their cameras up high for pictures ;)

    Walked in last night after the opener. Maybe 8:20. Ended up maybe 10-12 deep in front of Mike. Had a great view. No need to get in much earlier. Unless of course you want a Mike pick.

    I was right by you!  We arrived a little while before the opening act and got a great spot in the center about 4 people back.

    I think the video is paused. The record button doesn't show recording.

    Nevermind, it's the same, just not zoomed in as much.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Okay 😂 and what’s your point? 
    Mine still stands, how does them being up front change your concert experience that much to where you spend SO much energy being mad about it. 
    The same people being mad aren’t about to camp out or think it’s stupid, so…… why care? Again I don’t camp out. I’ve never gotten rail. Would it be a cool experience? Of course. Are certain people level of entitlement out of control, yeah. But in no way will I ever let it change how I enjoy a concert. I truly just don’t give a shit who’s up there. I think it’s hilarious how much certain people care in such a negative way. Like, find ANYTHING else to pour that energy into. Ok a handful of people cheat the system a bit. That literally happens in several aspects in people’s every day life, and being mad about who in line and who isn’t at a concert is silly to me.

    Yeah, since it affects a very small amount of people, they'll always get the, "aren't there more important things to worry about" from the majority. 🤷‍♂️

    I don’t care about the rail. Power to them. I care about the shenanigans with GA and line cutting. Also I’m not for cheating on any level.

    My only negative experience in GA was Wrigley 13. And it wasn't because of the usually railer people. It was that security did not care one bit about enforcing the GA wristband. Half the people there after the rain delay didn't have GA tickets, so it became crowded and those who weren't supposed to be there were the obnoxious ones.

    My point was they care that they're front row.  You asked who cared, and I answered.  I'm content to go in when doors open or shortly after.  Never had a bad spot.

    I had never been up close but I got GA tix for the first Pittsburgh show. We showed up about midway through the opening band, went to Mike’s side of the stage, and were super close the entire show. If you have to camp out to get closer than this, I don’t think it’s worth it…


    He's pointing right at you!
    This weekend we rock Portland

    He definitely was. It’s from a video I took during Grievance. So cool. Check it out…

    So my final word on this: I had a blast the two times this tour I was in GA. People were warm and kind and generous. Our interactions made time fly. There was only ONE person from the "rail gang" who was openly hostile toward me for some reason. It's extremely unfair to condemn a group of people for the behavior of an individual. I like those I met & enjoyed their company.
    10/10 would do this again.

    No one is disputing that people enjoy GA.   This is a thread about the bad behavior of some of the regulars on the rail. And your post is confirmation of that behavior.

    Every single one of these stories has an "except for" or a "but." Why should "you'll probably get at least a little hostility" be the baseline for a group of fans camping out to see their favorite band?

    Of one single individual. The rest were friendly and awesome.

    They acted like one unit of hostility. It stood out because that was not my experience at all with the rest of the campers and the rail area people.
