The band's sign policy??

U R A Crazy Breed · July 2008

Anyone ever tried to bring a sign to a PJ concert and have security tell you you coudln't bring it in? My daughter made a sign for Mansfield II for me (crown of thorns) and it came out really nice(she stayed up all night making it)only to have the Mansfield Gestapo douche-bags tell her she couldn't bring it in and they said it was "the band's policy".

now i have seen people with huge signs("play leash you pussies" comes to mind)but i think they were written on a sheet or some kind of cloth.just curious if it is band policy and if there are exceptions?

because someday,somehow, i will get them to play crown of thorns in Boston!!!!

1000th post!!:)

You can fold up the paper and sneak it in like that... I saw people in mansfield do it.

Although I think that signing is a bit annoying if done by a lot of people... if you can get them to play No Way with it though... that would be stellar.

If you want to bring a sign into a venue....go to a wrestling match.

I don't know, but I wish it was the band's policy.

Signs are really annoying, especially for those sitting behind you.

Some signs are good.

One word.

Breath.

i wouldn't be holding the fucking thing up all night and i certainly wouldn't block someones view and screw up their concert experience.just a quick flash between songs to get their attention and hope they play my request.

oh and ah.....fuck wrestling,not my thing.:)

Let me get this right. You have a problem with people educating themselves on how to get tickets, but you think it is cool to make signs that fuck up everybody's view. You are a Boston Masshole.

You had me for a brief second and then you lost me......."just a quick flash between songs". See that is the whole thing, once is honestly too much and the more likely you think you will be seen, the more you will try to get the bands attention with it.

Sure the kids quite the artist, but sorry, keep the freaking signs at home!

BlackCorduroy · July 2008

I think signs are Ok if they're done rarely and only put up maybe 2 or 3 times throughout the show.. and never during a song, otherwise it ruins a lot of people's views.

i agree and i wouldn't want someone doing it to me but i think it's possible to make a sign and have the band see it without blowing the show for someone.

AND WHO DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR CROWN OF THORNS????!!!

CranMalReign · July 2008

I've never been close enough to be annoyed by others' signs.

That being said...

I was at Mansfield II and standing nearly adjacent to me waiting at the gates to get in was someone with a very obvious sign requesting a song (I don't recall which) and I later saw that sign bopping around about 20 rows in front of me. There was no attempt to fold/hide the sign and security let her in.

Also at one of the shows I attended this summer (Camden I, II, Hartford, Mansfield), I believe during an Ed preset but perhaps not, Ed made sure to ask security why they were making a woman in the front put away her sign, telling them it's ok and everybody's cool and having a good time. That sort of puts a hole in the "against band policy" excuse security gave you.

That $hit was so fuckin' funny and so true too

TransplantedNewf · July 2008

...this bickering over to sign or not to sign is really lame...

I think "it's the band's policy" is an excuse every venue uses when it goes against THEIR policy. The band is just a scapegoat.

and for the record, i don't have an issue with signs/flags/shirts as long as they're not held up for the entire show and they don't obstruct my view for too long.

i was thinking they were full of shit the whole time that dickhead security was giving us his spiel about "band policy".

i fucking hate Mansfield!! PJ is the only band that can get me to go to that fucking prison.

funny thing is when i went to MSG for the first time i was expecting this kind of shit there,but it was mad cool!! i didn't see many cops and i wasn't fucked with at all.

indifferentman · July 2008

Shit, MSG didn't even do a pat down either night! :0 I was worried about it enough before night one to give my camera to a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel so I could pick it up after, and then the dude next to me inside the show had one hanging in a case AROUND HIS NECK! He said security didn't hassle him about it, they just asked him to open the case and see that it was just a camera!

JimBerkell · July 2008

Thanks to people holding up signs at the Columbia, SC show... we got both WMA and Footsteps!

The band's sign policy??
