It is also a HUGE fire evacuation issue. If there are, like there were on Sat. night in Atlanta, over four times the amount of people standing between the front row and the stage and something happens, those people will have less of a chance to get out.

I think if you get a legitimate chance to go to the front of the stage and are not blocking someone or it is not too crowded, I am all for it. I even know people who switch places with friends further back throughout the concert. But, on Sat. night I saw people passing around the same ticket to re-use at the security access point. That is just calculated and an act of theft to these eyes. But, if people are okay doing it, that is between them and their conscious. I am not judging them. I am just saying hereimn how I would react if they got in front of me. Again, if the security guard let's you up front knowing full well you do not belong there - so be it. But to use a Pitt ticket to get up to the front row and then send that same ticket out of the Pitt for someone else to reuse is just wrong in my book. I try to look at everything in the terms of how I would like it done to me. If I had paid for a front row ticket and saw someone reusing a Pitt ticket to get them and their friends with lawn seats into the front row and then in front of me, I would have them removed - who wouldn't if they were not suppossed to be there and were blocking the view that you paid for and they did not
