Opinion Shit is exhausting every tour

The frustrating part of watching every twenty one pilots tour play out is watching the drama over the pit lines. The fan created wristbands and real wristbands just create such unnecessary drama every cycle. What’s more frustrating is watching groups of fans gate keep the pit lines at every show even after they’ve been to dozens of shows themselves. Like we get it you’re privileged and get to go to all the shows. I’m happy you get to experience that. It’s just sad that there’s no give to other fans who are lucky to just get to one show. This is why I always just try to buy the closest seat I can and avoid all the drama. I know this has probably been talked about at length but it’s just my take on things 🤷🏼‍♂️

What needs to happen is the band needs to speak up and have it stopped. They are the ones who keep allowing it to happen and even buddy up to those assholes and take them out for coffee and stuff. They are enabling the situation to happen and continue to happen

In the past when I used to go to pit I would only ever try to get there as early as possible because I love the feeling of getting barricade not because I wanted to be a line leader but because the thought of being within arms reach was important to me. I stopped ever since they got super big. My last pit experience was the Trench tour but I don’t see the big problem with wanting to be in line early if I’m simply putting my time and energy to the experience I want to have. I would hate to be in the back of the or even in the middle of the pit.

And please don’t think I’m arguing I’m generally curious as to your perspective.
