Be careful, I heard he was Bruce Lee's illegitimate son.

Good lord, this almost looks like 2003 with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Springsteen had insisted that the front section of the floor for all show was a GA section. All started well by some fans who created a sign in list that often started the night before a show. Sign up and the position in the line was magic markered on the back of your hand. On occasion the list started a few days before but one had to confirm they were around. They had to periodically, about 3 times a day, meet up and confirm they were there to keep their position on the list. When it was working well, management honored this procedure (still in use in Europe) Early in the tour things ran fairly smoothly but as the tour wore on, it seemed that the same people were riding the rail every night. Somehow they signed in on the list 20 mins after the last show ended in a location 200 miles away. People raised a stink and later in the tour an official pit lottery procedure was instituted. One would get to the venue, day of show, between certain hours and were given a numbered wristband and around 5pm day of show a number was pulled and you lined up behind that number in numerical order. This way anyone who had a pit ticket and got to the venue reasonably early had a chance at being on the rail. To this day, there are people who game the system with hundreds of colored wristband with a selection of numbers in an effort to be at or near the beginning of the line. Luckily, enough people are hip to the tricks that are used and turn them in when caught. Still doesn't stop them.

Still, except for U2's electronic lottery a few years back, the above seems to be the best and most fair way to deal with the situation.   

lol.

people suck.

especially "rail riders". 

what a fucking douche bag.

what's he going to do, karate chop me/someone?

all this for dead co? lol.

the wiltern has a great pit/ga policy. Show up, wait in line. they let x # in. you go get your band and can cruise around and get back to the pit when you want.

It is laughable, Turtle. While I understand the rush of being up front for your favorite band on occasion, those who "have" to be up front ALWAYS need some help. In my travels and with many acts I have gotten to witness this more times and with more people than I care to admit. I've seen grown men and women end up in tears and/or acting out inappropriately when their plan is thwarted for any reason at all.

As for The Wiltern, it is a bit easier at smaller venues. It is not unusual for people to get to a stadium in Europe 4-6 days ahead of time to secure their place up front. I kid you not.  

Maybe he likes getting spit on by Bob...well that was back in the day.  He probably doesn’t do that anymore.

I say the same about rail riding Springsteen fans except it's sweat not spit. With some of them I'm sure they gather it up and attempt cloning. 

We need this guy here. It may be better than biker fox 

My guess is that this guy is from NY or NY.

He lives in Manhattan and has a backyard.

CustieStar Csucker is more like it.

Spent over $10K on this tour????

I don't think I spent over $10K on tour from '81 to '95!! I admit I did not go to a lot of shows after Brent passed, but still.

Paging Blackie! This guy gets up front and does NOT take naps.

Can somebody please forward a Viva membership invitation to this gentleman?

Thanks.
