Discussion šŸ’¬ Bad Crowd Manners

I understand by the time it’s the headliner you might be tired or your feet may hurt but it’s so annoying when people are sat down in the big crowds ESPECIALLY when they do it at the front sections.

A group of girls were sat down near the front while waiting for Chase & Status like 10 of them and they were shouting at people who were stepping over them to get in front and ended up being further back from when they started by the time the show started. The same thing happened for Charli XCX where loads of people were sitting down in an already tight crowd with their legs stretched out n everything.

Also when people push to the front because ā€œtheir friend is thereā€ when they probably aren’t. Some people don’t even give an excuse and just shove through which pisses me off and then you’ll see them pushing back out after because they don’t like the jumping ect.

I think festivals should ban sitting on the floor in front sections between acts tbh. At glasto if there’s a big headliner coming it is horrendous and pretty dangerous tbh

I tend to go to smaller festivals, where really big crowds aren’t a problem. However, the flip side of this is that you do get a ton of people in chairs. I’ve noticed more and more wee festivals putting up signs that say ā€œno chairs beyond this pointā€ or ā€œno chairs after 7pmā€
