![]() ![]() Respect for your surroundings, for each other, and for yourself will all go a long way at shows. Simply put, respect is the key to all of these rules. That is an easy way to make a band stop coming to your town or significantly decrease their fan interaction in general. If a band member jumps into the crowd from the stage, hold them up, do not use this as an opportunity to cop a feel. This definitely goes for the band members as well. Everyone has a right to their own body, and should not fear that they will be groped or harassed while crowd surfing, moshing, or just in the crowd in general. Stop inappropriately grabbing people, regardless of what gender either party involved is. This should not be something we are still having to reiterate. Do not ruin other people's fun by getting sloppy drunk. This is pretty much a general "please drink responsibly" PSA for the pit. No one wants liquid getting flung all over them. But please do not bring your full cup of liquid into the pit and start swinging your arms or trying to crowd surf, especially if you are drunk and can not control yourself. If you want to drink at a show, go for it. Give the short people the chance to enjoy the show! 10. I understand that being barricade is like, totally the most important thing in the world, but if you paid $25 plus fees and then stared at somebody's shoulders all night, you would be upset too. However, there are those 5-foot tall people who struggle with this much more than I do, and they deserve to get their money's worth just like anyone else. But I can move around, which makes that even less of an issue. While I am a believer in earning your spot, the "You snooze you lose" idea, I am also 5 foot 8 and occasionally have issues with seeing the stage from where I am in the pit. Try to let considerably smaller people stand in front of you. Then, I searched "iPad at concert" on Google, and boy, oh boy, is this an issue. I personally have never seen this happen and nearly condemned it to be a strictly Nashville-concert problem. Special thanks to my fellow Odyssey writer Victoria Skelton for telling me about this one. ![]() Just avoid punching or kicking people who are actively avoiding your physical contact. This is especially a problem when you end up hitting someone who, as aforementioned, is not in the pit and does not want to be.įor those people, you can help keep them in their space by sticking out your fist to let them know that they are getting too close if they make contact with it. Sometimes you may start on one part of the floor but end up drifting over into someone else's way and knock them out without even realizing you were near anyone. But try to at least be somewhat aware of who is around you. If you are someone who likes to mosh, I know how you feel, and I know that sometimes you just have to let loose and throw punches or swing your arms and get all of that aggression out. When you are swinging freely, stay in your bubble. So, you do not keep moshing with someone who is leaving the mosh pit-you are just being a tool. You do not keep giving someone CPR once they are stable and breathing again. I am one of those people, and I can not tell you how many times I have gotten in the pit, done what I wanted to do, and then moved on my way back into the crowd, only to be rammed into at full speed when I was clearly walking out of the way. Oftentimes, a person will go into the pit, take a beating or get worn out, and then try to get back out and return to their regularly scheduled concert watching. ![]() If someone is clearly trying to get out of the pit, let them out. ![]()
