my $28 ticket to a show ended up costing $48 after taxes and fees... - mickhead, on 05/02/2008, -16/+258Crowds at gigs should be organised. Front to back, smallest to tallest.
It should be:
Short people
Regular people
Tall people
Fat people
Moshers
The layer of fat people is there to protect the normal people from the moshers, who will with no regard for anyone else cause injury to anyone near them. - hoegaarden, on 03/31/2009, -9/+206i can forgive anybody of these offenses under the following 2 conditions: 1) the offender is female and 2) the offending female takes her shirt off

I am tall....taller than average I would say.
I recently went a concert, where there wasn't much room, but I was standing near the front, and about a half hour in, a shorter girl came up behind hind me, and in a bitchy manner said "You are waaay taller then me, I cant see, can I stand in front of you."
I nodded and let her come forward, because, sure, it sucks to not be able to see, and I can see over her no problem. BUT THEN, once she had her spot. She gabbed her boyfriends hand, who is the same height as me, and proceeded to pull him up in front of me....
its a crazy world out there in concert world, all rules of civilized society go out the window until you leave the venue, DEAL with it. - notcarsondaly, on 05/02/2008, -8/+157Sound guys that do not understand this...
LOUD != GOOD - traviswood, on 05/02/2008, -4/+153Don't forget the horrible mix of BO
- sailadayaway, on 05/02/2008, -26/+140You're wearing the shirt of the band that you're going to see? Don't be that guy.
- goomba323, on 05/02/2008, -5/+111Being a very tall person myself, I take offense to the "being over 6'4" and standing in front of the shortest person at the show". Listen, I understand your concern about not being able to see over my giant self, but I try my best to accommodate, so you should too. You are a short girl? ***** move!! Don't stand behind me; Leave that room for other tall people...there's nothing I can do about my height. The worst is when I'm at a concert and a girl and her boyfriend are behind me and I hear the stupid bitch complain "ugh, I can't see, he's so tall".
- mikebaldwin67, on 05/02/2008, -1/+96rowdiness at a RAGE against the machine concert? Thats just uncalled for. I hope they didn't have the music too loud either.
- Rotzooi, on 05/02/2008, -5/+90Freebird!!!!!!1111eleven
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -4/+88Collecting wallets from forgetful crowd-surfers FTW!!
- georgi0u, on 05/02/2008, -2/+86"The first and probably last concert I went to was Panic! at the Disco"
thats your problem right there - exterminador, on 05/02/2008, -5/+85Buried for number 4. "Being over 6'4 and choosing to stand in front of the shortest person in the crowd". When you are over 6'4 you will normally block anyone's view, regardless of being "a 5'0 tall girl" or a "6ft tall guy". What you are implying is that people who are 6'4 should stay in the last row. I propose a new number 4: "***** who are constantly tapping on your shoulder and saying "I can't see anything"". Well, if you can't see just move or something, but leave me the f**k alone.
- krsone2424, on 05/02/2008, -1/+73Everyone loves the kid practicing their karate moves in the middle of a show!
- Snokage, on 05/02/2008, -10/+80tall people? who the ***** are you...i paid for my ticket, so ***** off and deal with it.
- thrallie, on 05/02/2008, -6/+6711. Share your weed more. Every time I go, I share my weed. Be ***** nice. But I've never seen a person not share weed at a reggae festival.
- Coffeedemon, on 05/02/2008, -2/+63Its not that bad when the shirt is as old as half the audience.
- yohnstoppable, on 05/02/2008, -5/+66Whatever. Bitch who kicks me in the head as she goes by owes me a titty grab.
Jk, but I do find it dumb to ensure 100s of male hands will be on you while not expecting to be groped. It is so prevalent that you have to wonder if that is the entire reason for doing it - Twisted871, on 05/02/2008, -6/+64I like how you make a distinction between "normal" and "fat" people
- 45441, on 05/02/2008, -24/+78Most annoying = uptight ***** who complain if you:
-dance too much or the way they don't like,
-punch you in the back if you get too close to them,
-complain about you being in their personal space at a concert with 1000's of other people
-give you dirty looks if you cheer too loud for the band
Basically the people who wrote this article. If you want people to behave like they're at church, go watch the church choir sing! - Vegiemaster, on 05/02/2008, -14/+66I hate when people DON'T go nuts at a hardcore concert. :(
- Coffeedemon, on 05/02/2008, -2/+51Mine: the spin-kicking fist waving fool that always shows up at metal/punk shows but won't go into the pit. I still love the music but don't have much desire to go into the pit nowadays so I tend to stand as close as possible so I can watch the action and the band but far enough away so I don't get dragged in. Thats tough when you're stuck between a circle pit and that one jackass who wants to twirl his fists and feet by himself but acts all offended when you shove him into a bouncer. ;)
- punky, on 05/02/2008, -2/+50btw, why is it OK at a sporting event, but not at a concert?
- reaper527, on 05/02/2008, -2/+48I am That Guy
- devilsagain, on 05/02/2008, -16/+6211. 14-36 year old who grabs the girls breasts who are hanging out because other 14-36 year old ripped off her shirt while she was crowdsurfing. You know who you are and you are all scum.
- knowsfear, on 05/02/2008, -8/+53Just one more reason all women are whores.
- Misanthrope, on 05/02/2008, -3/+45Because at sporting events there are two teams and you need to show who you're there for. At concerts...it's pretty much accepted that you're there for the headliners. Now, if you're there specifically for an opening band...well, feel free to don the shirt! UNLESS it's a shirt you bought at that day because you wanted to look cool. I'd say the shirt must be at least 3 months old.
- boobsbr, on 05/02/2008, -2/+44wear whatever you want. don't be the guy that doesn't wear it because of what someone's gonna think.
- jlee2081, on 05/02/2008, -6/+43thats if you can even get into the show... f*ck scalpers
- ngmcs8203, on 05/02/2008, -3/+40Just because we aren't vertically challenged like some, doesn't mean we should move to accommodate your lack of height. If I'm standing with my group of friends (who are almost all taller than 6'2) and we get there first, maybe you should just find a better spot to see the show? Now if I push my way in front of you, sure, I'll be considerate and conscious of who's behind me, but it's not my fault that I'm taller as much as it is not your fault that you're short.
- Flatlineskillz, on 05/02/2008, -2/+39"Damn you kids get off my lawn!"
- UmpUmp, on 05/02/2008, -0/+37i hate the idiots that deem it necessary to throw objects at the band playing. If you don't like them..then why are you even there?
- friday04, on 05/02/2008, -12/+47The slam dancing is utterly insane, especially when you're watching Rage Against the Machine at Red Rocks and these morons are all slamming into each other then falling down the steps that make up the Red Rocks Amphitheater. I saw some skinny kid fall and hit his neck squarely on the edge of a bench and not get back up. He then got slam danced on by the other slam dancing fools.
Last concert I've been to. - Gullop, on 05/02/2008, -1/+36I think you will find the most annoying thing someone can do at a festival gig is throw a cup of piss.....*****.
- petebot, on 05/02/2008, -5/+39That's what you get for going to see Dave Matthews at someplace with a "lawn area". ***** hippy.
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -1/+34Mass destruction on a large scale that hospitalizes people and stops the show.
I went to Ozzfest in Boston and during Disturbed, all of the sod from the field was ripped up and people were raining giant chunks of dirty sod all over everyone. Then they started filling water bottles, water jugs, and shirts (wrapped up hobo style like it were on the end of a stick in those cartoons) filled with dirt and hucked them into the crowd.
People were getting knocked unconscious and I even saw a handicapped person in a wheel chair get smacked in the back of the head and people had to stand around him to block flying debris because he could barely maneuver in his chair! - Coven, on 05/02/2008, -1/+32How many pins and patches are on your messenger bag?
- Coven, on 05/02/2008, -1/+31Blasphemy! How else am I supposed to call my mom to come pick me up :-x
- diggitydoc, on 05/02/2008, -4/+34AMEN, i can't help it if your napoleon-esque self cant see over me, i paid and i am tall, so fuggoff.
- ngmcs8203, on 05/02/2008, -0/+29Me to, but I don't miss burned thumbs.
- TrevorBelmont, on 05/02/2008, -4/+33Let me guess, you're a short person?
- Misanthrope, on 05/02/2008, -5/+33AWESOME scum!
- SnuKs, on 05/02/2008, -3/+30You must be a hipster.
- Coven, on 05/02/2008, -1/+28***** that, just toss his ass into the pit and watch him scream like a little girl when he gets a boot to the chin.
- Bodnex, on 05/02/2008, -4/+31As far as I'm concerned, if you sit down for the whole concert, just watch the thing on DVD, at least you'll be able to order some pizza and you won't have to bother with all those cumbersome fools around you having fun.
I mean, it's not a night at the opera! - revjustin2, on 05/02/2008, -0/+27Actually, from a soundguy's perspective, you are sometimes forced to mix louder than you'd like. Sounds stupid (and it kind of is), but some bands have such overwhelming stage volume (amps, monitors, etc) that the only way to get any clarity is to mix on the loud side. This is why experienced bands know that reducing stage volume is one of the best things you can do for your "sound".
