OMG, Can’t have anyone behind me at the rail! 1 GA Ticket = 1 Spot not 3, it’s fire code. Law. Stop this crap.

Nothing is stopping y’all from standing on it and then explaining your point

Who cares?
11
Right!? Wtf!?

This picture makes me feel like the whole issue is overblown.

It’s probably vastly more consistent of a problem than any other concern about the scene, from balloons to groping, and I have seen physical threats at the rail first hand. But yeah I think we’ve about covered it at this point.

We have covered it. But yet it exists.
This picture was from SEVEN YEARS AGO. MPP 2015

I hear ya. Not sure why anyone would want to stand where that rolled up towel is. You’d be breathing on that guys neck
2
Right? I would much rather have some breathing room than be packed in like sardines.

Yeah I don’t see the problem here. Go rub your nuts on someone else’s ass please.

Oh it so is. Alarmist bullshit at its highest

I don’t know what’s worse; the extreme space-savers or the annoying twits that continue to post about them

Take a dump next to it and wipe your ass
7
Take a dump on it and claim it’s yours now.
3
Just shit everywhere and claim the whole pit. Alpha male shit. Literally.

Kind of sounds like the man to be honest

Yeah it’s a piss towel
6
Lol I stepped on so many blankets at AC. It was impossible not to!

I took my college friend who is a metal guy to a Phish show. We had GA at the Long Beach show which wasn’t crazy oversold. He couldn’t believe how territorial people were there, he had never seen anything like it.

"This is one fucked up mosh pit"
7
You joke, but metal fans are crazy kind in the pit. It’s so different from the pit at any Jamband show. There is so much entitlement at jam shows that metal heads and punks wouldn’t even think possible.
7
Oh, I've been to my fair share of metal shows back in the '80s.
2
Same here lol.

Fuck tarpers. You suck.

I don't see a problem here... it's not like a huge tarp.
4
It’s not a tarp, but why is it there?
Those are spaces for people that bought a ticket. Not a fucking Hotel Towel.
When they all stood up - THEY ALL SWUNG ELBOWS AND FISTS to keep their TEN SPACES around them.
This was in 2015, merriweather.
The back of the pit? Haha, you couldn’t even get in because these people took up more then their share
1
This actually isn’t that bad. I’ve seen so much worse before.
4
I just say we trample these people fuck them.
3
I mean, do you really want to stand that close to them? This isn’t worth complaining about.
3
Yes. What you don’t see are the people in the back that can’t get into to pit because these folks take up the 8 spaces around them with their fists, legs and arms.
When they stand up? They turn around and make sure you aren’t within a punch reach

a girl got mad at me because I (accidentally) stepped on her friends sweatshirt at Alpine before the show... who was apparently in the bathroom... while we were all jockeying for position. I was like "you mean this sweatshirt you threw on the ground next to the giant blanket you're sitting on?" I then had to explain to her that she'd have plenty of room, everyone would, when the band took the stage and everyone stood up.
2
Rail riders are only tuff on the rail. Get them out of there “natural habitat” and they have nothing and no one. Catch me on lot.
2
Was this at Alpine?

Merriweather 2015
Lol. Yes, it’s been a problem for that long.

Guy in the front with a CBC derived logo shirt, my bet is Toronto
1
Is that Toronto? Guy has a CBC shirt. Top right, second in.

Merrweather 2015
Yes. Seven years ago and this shit is still a problem. I saw fists thrown and I was pushed when we all stood up.

This photo isn’t that bad but there is a simple solution here, simply pick up all of the towels/blankets/tarps/sweaters etc without people physically occupying them and take them to the venue lost and found, if people are physically occupying them fold up the edges until it’s out of your way or simply sound on top of it. I’ll never understand why so much of the jam community allows their experience to be altered by people that put shit on the ground.
1
I’ll buy you a pit ticket to watch you do that and video it.
Name the show, any show. Lol. You can wear hockey gear too if you want.

Y’know the first 1000 posts about this didn’t phase me but luckily you posted this. Now I understand
😂
