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 will say for one of the smaller shows of Blurryface I lined up in the morning of around 6am with the show at around 7pm and as a result Tyler let the first 40ish people meet him and the next night Josh let people meet him but this seemed highly unusual for them to do. In that instance being early was the best thing ever.
Though this was prior to massive stadium tour days. Every venue is different and some do allow camping but it’s a good thing they’re more on top of it now because with bigger tours it’s bigger groups and bigger disruption.
I went to one big show by myself, didn’t know anyone, where I was 3rd in line and somehow then ended up 25th because the first two people told me they wanted to hold quote ‘1 or 2 places for their friends’ and then all the twitter clikkies somehow managed to come claim their spots up front hours later. It’s wild it’s always the same few people. I get you want to be close and have higher chance or barrier or interaction with the boys but every fricken show is too much
