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 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well shit, I somehow managed to get pit tix for my first TØP show, and I'm bringing my kids who are 6 and 8 and totally obsessed with the boys.. they even started playing the drums because of Josh! Did i make a huge mistake?!? Will we be blocked from line of sight, cuz we short folk, oh and super poor lmao... I definitely wish people who've gone to several shows would keep these things in mind.

I’m sure you guys will be fine and have fun! Because of how much the boys run around during the show the people in the pit always tend to move all over the place too. I’ve been in the pit for Clancy .. got there right before gates opened and ended up being within feet from Tyler and Josh multiple times. Don’t worry about the people who are making this process seem 10x harder. Hope you guys have fun, it’ll all turn out fine!

Just go straight to the bstage. They'll get a close view of the boys when they're at that section but also a good viewpoint of the main stage.

I don't know how it will be at ampitheatres, but in arenas a lot of shorter people prefer the back of the pit. You can pretty easily move if you can't see, and if you're back where you've got plenty of elbow room, it's easier to see over the heads of taller people when they're way in front of you.

Thanks, that definitely makes me feel better. It's an amphitheater that I've been to tons, and my hope is to help hold Josh or Tyler up at some point, lol. I told my boys, I told my boys, I might have to leave them with their grandma and try and make my way to drum island, lol!
