What things should be banned at gigs or concerts!

[Neverplayleapfrogwithmrpipes]

I went to my first gig in years yesterday and thought I would start a lighthearted thread about crap that should be banned from gigs and concerts.

My first suggestion is mahoosive cowboy hats on anyone over 6ft tall!!

Person next to me singing louder than the band. Grrr

Phones , hate it when you are at a seated event and the person is moving their phone around to catch everything on stage ( inspite of it being banned )

Loud music.

(I may be missing the point)

Moshing with your elbows out, only seen kids (teens) doing this and its bloody antisocial, not at all what mosh pit etiquette should be.

Farting

Phones. All the big gigs have professional cameras filming it all. No-one, not even you will look back at your fuzzy videos with tinny sound from the cheap seats looking at the back of people's heads in front of you.

People who film every second of a gig on their phone. Why pay all that money to watch it through camera on your phone screen? Just stay at home and watch it on YouTube. Plus it's irritating being behind someone with their arms and phone in the air the whole time

Mobile phones. Recording high in the air obscuring view to record something they are never going to watch again

People recording every single second.
I was lucky enough to win tickets to a small gig for a massive band, only 100 attendees, it was amazing. But the couple in front of us recorded the WHOLE thing on their phones, they literally watched it through their phones. What’s the point

Drunk women who scream at the artist...
<looking at you very drunk woman at Michael Bolton in Newcastle a few years ago >..

People standing/dancing in a seated area

Getting up to go to the toilet / bar in the middle of a song when the venue is seated. If you have a tiny bladder buy aisle seats.

Paying £7 for a pint should be outlawed.

Any other physical attributes you would ban?

Disabled?
Black skin
White skin
People with Dwarfism
Wheelchair users?
People who are overweight???

I mean none of these things can be helped or avoided, same as TALL people

“influencers” who spend the entire concert trying to get the perfect shot of them miming along having the best time of their #gifted lives.

Oh don't be so utterly silly, it's the added hat that's the problem not the initial tallness! Talk about looking for offence ..

Phones #1. Should be put in a bag for the duration of the show. Drunken people who ruin it for others. Similarly people who are in/out, up/down all night. bar, toilet, bar etc. Once saw Lionel Ritchie comment on this at a show. People who seem to want to stand all night even if its just 1 person and a piano. People going to the front of the stage to try to take a selfie with the artist in the background. People who try to take your seat and deny its yours even tho you have the ticket stating the seat/row/block.

LOL.

Is there a shortage of oxygen up there? That’s the most insane post ever

Tall people

Phones
Kids on shoulders
Kids under ten

I can't believe nobody has mentioned twats on other people's shoulders yet. Makes me want to push them over. And talking of pushing over, people moshing in a non-moshpit area. One minute standing enjoying my beer and the music, the next I've been barged into by some random who thinks it's funny to play human skittles. Twats.

People who are ill and cough sing and breath all over you

People throwing drinks/bottles. Pisses me right off watching out for the next rocket.

Pilled up dickheads. I got stuck behind two such individuals at a recent festival and it was very annoying.

People standing up and dancing in the seated section, that's what a standing ticket is for. Sit down.

People who don't use deodorant. People who scream continuously.
