maybe its a colorado thing? but seriously, it happens nearly at any general admission show (mainly festivals) these days. I have seen more more venues putting up signs of no tarps, no blankets, etcAtlanta, GA 8/7/00...Atlanta, GA 4/19/03...Columbia, SC 6/16/08...New Orleans, LA 5/1/10...East Troy, WI 9/3/11...

The tarp/blanket thing is no longer allowed at Red Rocks.

pjl44 said:The jam band people are another thing entirely. I saw My Morning Jacket at Red Rocks years ago. When they opened the gates and we jockeyed for seats I saw a few groups whip out tarps/blankets and duct tape them down to claim large chunks of real estate. My friends told me this was coming from the Phish scene and that they did it at arenas too - "claiming" sections of GA floor.
Not sure how much of that is accurate but what I saw at Red Rocks was in the 90th percentile of obnoxious douchebag behavior I've witnessed in 25 years of concert going.
I was there for those shows and 100% agree. I think it was locals that buy season passes and they do the same thing for every show, popular or not. The same thing happened in the line to get in. It turned me off from that venue for sure. There was definitely a local contingent that had a dialed game plan for the shows and it was super annoying that they claimed huge blocks of space for people that showed up much later. The most entitled behavior I have seen in 40+ years of concert going.0 -
I cannot fathom waiting in line all day for a show. Beyond it being a complete waste of time, the sound is terrible up close in GA and there is no view of the lights. Do people really just want the chance to be covered in Ed's sweat because it's certainly not for an optimal concert experience."What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."0

Although I wouldn't wait all day for it, I think you're selling the experience of being on the rail a little short.

Being on the rail has nothing to do with befriending the band. What an odd analogy

Chrissie Hynde posted this today:Hi All!First of all, thank you to everyone who’s come to see our shows. We’re in the homestretch of this year‘s tour and it’s been a real pleasure. Fantastic cities and fantastic audiences. We’ve had a great time playing for you.One thing we feel obliged to explain:When we go on tour, the whole point of it for the band is that we are playing to a different audience every night.That’s why we go on tour!So if we’re in Edinburgh (like we are tonight), we look forward to seeing local faces.This is what makes it new for us every night.We appreciate those of you who follow us and buy tickets for multiple nights, so please don’t be offended if we request you to move out of the front row.All we are asking is that you give the local fans a chance. This is what keeps it new for us…especially after being on tour for so many months.See you later !XCH0

I had a great time and it is a beautiful place. MMJ was great. Once situated the vibe was cool. I walked in with full two growlers (just held them behind my back) and no one cared. The lining up and the GA experience just rubbed me the wrong way and I am in no hurry to go back. Did you happen to do the MMJ travel package for those shows? Great deal and awesome swag.0 -

And I love that Chrissie Hynde letter! The problem is Ed has acknowledged the folks getting to the front mostly positively so they will now likely continue to double down."What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."0 -
