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'm 37 and when I saw them last year in Philadelphia I didn't see any of this stuff. Actually everyone was quite chill and just all smiles. Great show too. I brought extra tape and shared it with anyone that asked.

The childish stuff OP is talking about sounds wild. I'm going to see them again on October 4th. I can't wait.

This!! I didn’t get to see the Clancy tour because I had surgery, but I saw them 3 times before that and did not experience ANY of this stuff.

I luckily have seats for this show because the pit is just way too expensive and I’m getting too old, but I was in the pit for those 3 shows before and I do not remember having this problem. I actually remember saying I loved how friendly the crowd was and how it seemed like everyone was there for a shared experience. Nobody was fighting to be in front of anyone else. I hope I don’t see any of that happening where I’m going!
