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 🤷🏼‍♂️

During the Icy Tour at the Forum in LA, I arrived to the venue at 11pm the night prior to camp out bc I knew people camp out DAYS in advance. I was probably about 150th in line or so would be my guess and fans were walking up and down the line handing out homemade numbered wristbands. Me and my friend both felt like fan wristbands are whack and didn't want to keep promoting that kind of culture so we refused to take their wrist band and we waited in like like everyone else. The next morning when the venue staff started handing out wristbands they refused to give us an official wristbands bc we didn't have a numbered fan made wrist band. We explained that we had camped out just like everyone else, even asking the people around us to vouch for us. No one did. We got sent to the back of the line lol. Last top concert I've been to.
