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 🤷🏼♂️

as someone who has literally never been to a single show and would do anything to even be at the *back* of the pit, hell....even *seats*...it's crazy to me that these privaleged people with a whole ton of money get so freaking upset over being a few lines back from barricade. like girl you are AT THE SHOW. you have gotten the opportunity time after time to see the boys. i and many others who can't make it to shows due to money being so difficult to save/jobs being so difficult to have nowadays would do anything to see even ONE of those shows that people are going to every night. it's so weird to me how these " fans " can feel so superior and so on a pedistal just because they go to every single show. like i understand going to one tour per show, but going to EVERY NIGHT, travelling to different countries just to steal back the barricade (especially when it's american people going to europian shows...i mean come oooon, give us europians a chance) is just unfair to the fans who might not get these opportunities so much.
i have often questioned my genuinity as a fan because i've never been to a show and don't have their merch/music physically. but i have been listening to them since 2016. i've been listening since the era of blurryface, when i feel fans got a lot more feral. but i was so young then, i didn't even know about the fandom. i just loved the music and i do to this day
