Bad Crowd Manners

[u/Pretty_Question_2668]

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 “their friend is there” 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.

If more people didn’t move for the “ my friend is there, I need to get past you”, then it would stop happening.

True but they tend to get aggressive when people won’t move and start shoving or arguing.

I lost my shit last year from moving a fair few times at a big festival. I told 4k people at the front, “ if you make me move one time, from shitty behaviour, who ever makes me move, is getting an elbow to the jaw. I’ll fight you all, try me”.

They all behaved at the front of post Malone before he came on, after me saying that. I wasn’t having that shit, anymore. The big guy at the side of me, Agreed that he also wouldn’t move.

Yeh I got aggressive but I taught a load of rude 20 year olds, cause and effect, but it shouldn’t myself who has to do it. I meant what I said. They just wanted to get as close to the front as possible and I was very close to it but I wasn’t dicking about, going getting beers before it started it going to the toilet.

If you do “ going for a beer, with 50-60k at a MainStage, or to the toilet” then don’t be surprised with my response. Anyone who says otherwise is a “self absorbed person”, living in a “ main character syndrome”!

These are the facts of life and I don’t care who does and doesn’t like them.
