well that kinda happened in santa barbara....ed asked someone backstage for a cigarette and somebody from the audience goes to the stage to give him one i guess and this huge security guy just plows into the guy.....it was great

not to change the subject but during an Oasis concert here in Cleveland in 2005 at the end of the show about 20 people just started to jump the security fence, walk on stage and shake Noel and Liam's hands. It was the strangest thing. It was during 'My Generation' and Noel brought a girl up on stage, then after people just started walking on. Security didn't know what to do because they would just walk up, shake their hands (while they were playing/singing) and go back to their seats. Surprisingly the brothers took it very well. The bootleg is funny though because they only sing half of my generation because of this

SB was a great night. Row 4.

LA #2 kinda sucked. My 10c seats were right at the back of the second floor section, about 12-15 rows back from the stage. On one side, I had two drunk dudes headbanging and falling off their chairs during the faster songs and talking throughout the slower ones. On the other side, two idiot girls dressed to get laid texting and yapping throughout. Really hard to believe this was a 10c section...

I was embarrassed for the crowd as it seemed to perpetuate Ed's perception that LA audiences suck.

And what is it with people yelling out requests? Ed's not an organ monkey who is there to do whatever the crowd wants. He picks the songs, you shut the fuck up, listen, and say thank you...

I get tickets via fan club or i dont attend. The end. I seem to remember someone saying this in another thread

I'm not sure it's a "10c or not 10c" issue. It could be. Like I said, I lucked out and was "with the masses (upstairs)." Everyone around me was very cool.

I didn't say that andrew the legend did in another thread. i just found it funny he wrote that in another thread and then says he loves being on the lawn.

???
Id not attend a show without ten club tickets.
Ive never been on the lawn EVER.
How dare you sir! As if i am like common trash. I mean I am the legend here.

la1 when i got to my seats there were a couple drunk twats sitting behind me....when laim came out they started yeling "ed" :rolleyes: fortunately they moved unfortunately they moved next to JOEJOEJOE :(

what posses someone to get that drunk at a show? go to a bar or better yet stay home....no one likes you or wants to be around you

Those guys seemed to be 10C members (the 2 bad apples in the bunch) who were able to scrounge-up enough dough to fly to L.A. The minute I saw that one of the fellas wore his pants way below his waist, I knew there'd be trouble a-brewin' !

Instead of getting them ejected, we got moved to first row behind the pit.

Not to sound too cruel, but hopefully they got brave after the show, and mouthed off to a gang member who learned them some manners!

Wow, sorry to hear this.

Overall, LA1 was great, but there was one jerkoff who kept yelling Footsteps!

I was amazed though, at how many people kept going by me, back and forth, over and over, with full glasses of $14 beer... during the show. I don't get it. I mean, I love beer like the next guy, but I had a few drinks before the show, emptied my bladder and was all set for Eddie to come out. There is no point in leaving the show to get a beer, in my opinion. I guess I don't understand.

no you dont get it, the point is who cares what other people do.really watch the show, not what protocall other fans are keeping.

As for the threadstarter that sucks, dont know if I would have left, just stand in the back. Did you ask security to change your seat?

I don't get it either. At the Santa Barbara show it was an awful distraction. Some people got stupid drunk and kept weaving up-and-down the aisles.

stupid drunk sucks, but that doesnt mean the ones who can handle themselves cant drink at a show.
How drunk is ed getting?

I care because everyone is walking back and forth, over and over, to fill up beer, to go to the pisser, to get another beer, to go piss again, etc. Maybe I wan't clear.

Look, I don't think I have trouble with concentration, but when people keep walking in front of you and blocking the stage to get beer after beer, it can get distracting. That's all.

So the drunken fans in the lawn. The guys yelling jeremy. The support acts. The people who come up on stage like Ben Harper. The ticketing policy. The set lists. what are you guys happy with?
I have been drunk or buzzed at every show ive been at and managed to have a good time no matter where i sat including many front rows. And when Ive been furthur back.

I personaly will spend my time before shows as always drinking beer in the parking lot with guys in tee shirts with their hats on backwards. That dont even know Ed put out a solo album. The lawn people that you stuck up snobs seem to hate are the best thing going at any of these shows. Instead of a group of pompous asses with a sense of entitlement. Who have the audacity to hold up a breath sign by 1000 people. Give me bubba on the lawn with a beer and enjoying jeremy.

You sit in row 1 and give your all for the show. Then afterwards all the freaks come running up. asking security to give them a piece of trash. I have 3 picks. 2 edward placed in my hand. 1 Mike threw to me. I dont dive to the ground to fight for them. Have some self respect people. A used towel or water bottle?? What does that mean to you? Me I am happy to have been there and blessed to have heard even flow. like the asshole on the lawn. I am happy to be there regardless. Alot of you need to realize there is no entitlement with your 10 club membership and your knowledge of B sides. There is a reason they are B sides they didnt make the albums. Although I do love footsteps, ledbetter and especialy Down. I hope I get down this tour.

I hate to do this, but I have to, I always support what I believe in.
I agree with everyhting here, except the water bottle comment, if somone wants to keep it its their choice.
Someoen quoted as saying they only use ten club tickets or they dont go.
I mean cmon do you really believe that, that is just so stuck up.
Do you go to other shows of other bands.
I meaa its your choice bro, but you would miss a pj show?

get over it, enjoy these shows.

hopethatuchoke · April 2008

Unfortunately they paid the same amount as you for the ticket. There are no rules that say they can't get up for beer or to piss. I would be here bitching like many of you are if this stuff happened to me but alot of you are coming across as really pretentious. You can't tell people how to act at concerts. Different people go to concerts for different reasons. Some want to go get wasted. Some want to go makeout (nasty). Some want to shout out song requests. Since there are no rules at concerts (other than no taping or pictures for this tour) you really can't do anything about it other than not go.

JOEJOEJOE · April 2008

People should be free to drink, ask for setlists, only know "jeremy", or do whatever they please, as long as their actions don't impose on others.

I think you forget where Ed came from, crowd surfer, loud yeller, always partying, he acted like this on the avocado tour, he almost broke his ankle in nj
well he hasnt crowd surfed in a while, but he understands, if he doestn that just crazy.

I literally had an SNL sketch sitting in front of me last night. It was the group of guys you PRAY you don't sit behind at a show. Showed up 2 songs in already wasted, yelling the stupidest shit and dancing like they had epilepsy without any hint of rythym. I swear to god I never thought I'd actually miss the guy who yells "JEREMY" in my ear every 5 seconds. I alerted security, but when they got there they stopped. When security went away they turned their stupidity towards me. I was by myself and none of the clearly annoyed people around me would get my back. I didn't want to fight four drunk assholes by myself.

unhappy and unable to find another seat, I left.

It occurs to me now that the two or three bad experiences I have have have been non 10c seats.

never ever again.

That blows. I love a good drink as much as the next person, but I've never been able to figure out why anyone would pay good money for a show, then get piss drunk and remember none of it. Why not just sit at home on the couch, get piss drunk, and throw on some music?

more than 4 times a show would get annoying, maybee five, after that they should hang out in the back

andrew the legend · April 2008

No I have been many times with non fan club and guess what I had a blast.
Columbus and Cinncinnati 2000. pittsburgh too. More than i can remember.

Oh yea VA beach 2000 I didnt have fan clubs. Just listened to that show on saturday night. Anyone whom was in attendence and doesnt get choked up for long road and Daughter is lieing.

Aug 3 2000 va beach was a spiritual moment. I had waited in line at a ukrops in richmond va way back in the day and got rickets in right when they went on sale. the times they have changed.

I had a friend wth a 14XXX fan club thats how i got so many front rows. She is no longer in the mix so I am using my own 188XXX this tour. Looking forward to others getting front row. I also can relax furthur back. I always felt some pressure being up front. Some shows like the spectrum you would literaly feel like you just went 15 rounds with Eddie. And the way I am id be ff on the road to the next nights show. Just got to be alot so I skipped 2006 and 2007. But i am back now.

LA2, my last show EVER without 10c tix.
