I really don't think it's a dirty thing or a thing based solely on appearance. I've been brought up at multiple shows now. And I'm not "hot or blonde".
They just want young people to make it more exciting and fun up there. And there's a point there. I think of shows I've been to at casinos where everybody at the front was 50+ and had comp seats. No matter how big the act is, it kind of feels like you're just sitting at a piano bar if there's nobody standing up, singing along, screaming, clapping, dancing, etc. It's an entirely different experience when there is a lot of excitement at the stage. So I definitely get why they bring young people up, and I'm glad that to make it somewhat fair, they don't bring any of us up until everybody in the front made it up and got their spot at the stage first. However I also think it would be a lot more ethical if they allowed more than just the first row up there. Like maybe 1-3, or 1-5.

First of all, I can’t believe you have the audacity to compare FM VIP ticket buyers to casino comp ticket holders who get their tickets for free. People who have spent $900 to be in those seats are die-hard fans and deserve to be at that stage. If anyone is going to be let up, it should be them PERIOD, not random girls chosen because of their looks and age. And just for the record, VIP buyers know how to have fun, dance, and clap just as much as you do. I’m glad you get to experience the joy and absolute bliss of being at Lindsey’s feet during these shows, but it’s sad that his midlife crisis is happening at the expense of some of his most loyal fans.
And yes, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I witnessed it personally at the Dallas show, rows 2 and back were stopped by guards .. And his gaggle of girls at the stage weren’t even paying attention to the band most of the time. They were taking selfies , leaving to get drinks and talking over the band. Sorry but how can you justify that?
