bellamyspiano Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Cheers guys. Yeah, I have often told security, but they don't really give a shit, do they? I usually receive a blank stare or a shrug cause everyone 'is in the same boat'. If I see a tall person in front I will try and ask them if they mind moving, see where that gets me. Usually I will try and shuffle in at the side of them, without pissing anyone else off in the process lol As for those comments back there, they were not very nice, far beyond a healthy debate, which is completely cool. So you get tired of people moaning about something, no need to be that way. Just ignore them or be diplomatic in your response, surely? They were rather mocking in the way they were written, especially the one about the the church and being commited to the ground. There is just no need.

Olly. Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Cheers guys. Yeah, I have often told secturity, but they don't really give a shit, do they?

Usually I will try and shuffle in at the side of them, without pissing anyone else off in the process lol If the tall person moves, they will cause a problem for the person then behind them, if you move however due to being short, it won't affect the other person.

Usually I will try and shuffle in at the side of them, without pissing anyone else off in the process lol Security are helpful. I saw Placebo at the O2 in December and when things got unneccasrily stupid, a bunch of security came in. The system does work. However, if security are arses, just move to somewhere else where you can see things clearly, because the front row isn't the be all and end all of live gigs!

There is just no need. But there are a few of you who are being ultra ultra defensive, and if that's going to be the attitude, then this is the reaction you'll expect, sadly.

They have every right to be there. And security do give a shit, or at least they do at the gigs I've queued for. They have to give a shit, it's part of their job.

Buxomflirter Queef Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Brits can queue. Had to pick up Lilia's jaw from the floor when she saw the neat queue formed at Glasgow And at Placebo the security was really good at remembering who had been in the queue all day and made sure we were the first ones to get in.

bellamyspiano Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I guess it depends on the gig. In Liverpool and Sheffield loads pushed in front and we got nothing in return from security, which was quite disappointing after queing for so long. The only reason I was being so defensive was because I felt my friend was being attacked with certain comments, so yes, I will come on and put up my fists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese on toast Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 *looks around* I'm sorry, but I think your reaction was a little rude there. And you know what, if someone said to me, "I'm really sorry, but is it okay if I slip in front of you?" I probably wouldn't mind. If someone says to me, "Do you mind moving?" then no chance. There is asking, and there is asking politely, and asking someone else if they mind moving is not asking politely. Exactly. Even if someone does ask, why should I move? I have every right to be at the front. I heard about that. Sounds good. It was excellent - we were proclaiming our love for the security as we walked in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemsy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'd be really pissed off if someone asked me to move. Really. On the other hand, if there's a short-arse behind me who can't see anything and there's space in front of me with a good view, I will let them come in front of me. Common courtesy and manners. Blatantly asking someone to move out of your way when 9 times out of 10 there's nowhere to go will only cause beef, and/or make the person you asked to move feel paranoid about their size and feel guilty and ruin their enjoyment of the gig! Don't ask people to move. It's really not on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm not as good as Claire. Jesus, she's scary. I kind of start and Claire finishes it. A la Teignmouth. I forget that Claire is pretty scary on these occasions - quite a few jumpers got booted out in Teignmouth than to you girls. We had this group of lads in Paris who thought they could push in front of us when the door opened because we were girls, unfortunately for them we all locked arms and the 2 at the end grabbed hold of the barriers on each side and after a minute or so moving forward they pretty much realised that they were not gonna get through and stopped trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
