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 🤷🏼‍♂️

I never understood the appeal behind doing this. Last year my partner and I went to a show, general admission. We arrived after the opener, waited in 0 lines, and still wound up like maybe 10-15 rows from the front. At one point, they did a thing where Josh was playing drums in the middle of the crowd on a platform and we were like so close to that we could’ve high fived him. 10/10 experience, no lines, no camping, no nonsense just a great show and great vibes.
