These are people who enjoy music. These are people that love Fleetwood Mac, but these are NOT people who are sturdy enough to "plant their feet," or "stand their ground." These are people who can barely stand for more than 30 minutes. Should they be pushed around all night? Should they have to struggle to see when they spent HUGE amounts of money to sit where they are setting? NO. That simple. These are rules that we learned in grade school. Stand in a line. Do not push. Do not shove. To the point: we have rows and seat numbers for a reason. Sorry, but that is the ultimate truth. "Trying to get upfront," no matter what is an art, but honestly, so few do it respectfully. So... please don't invade my space. I will have a great time next to anyone, but I will not tolerate having to watch myself all night for fear of having my area invaded. Not going to happen. I would rather focus my energy on Stevie's mic stand ribbons, lol. I hope that I will not have to worry about it, like the rep from our venue said. Infact, I plan to talk to security when I get there to see what that plan is all about.
Side Note: I was in detroit when that woman stage jumped. (Not the same thing, but still... it's about concert etiquette.) The mood changed, it became fear that something more could happen. What if that chick wasn't just excited, but rather wanted to hurt Stevie? That kind of fan mania is unacceptable. So IMO, no stage rushing, and no stage jumping. Everyone file into their areas and be kind to one another. That's all I am saying.

Please tell me you're not going to be at the Pittsburgh show on Sunday.

Then they should be sitting in the mezzanine section where they belong. Sorry if that offends you, but to be honest, this is a rock concert. If you're planning on getting floor seats (especially those near the stage), you're almost
expected to stand throughout the show. I'm guessing you're the type of fan that likes to sit in his seat expressionless while Steve is twirling during Stand Back. How fun. But really, most fans that purchase tickets close to the stage like to enjoy themselves and get into it. You know, standing, clapping, dancing - normal stuff.
As far as your simple rules are concerned, they don't really apply at rock and roll concerts. That's not to say that people are going to be rude and trampling all over you the entire night. But you should expect that at some point during the show, another fan is going to "invade your space" and you're just going to have to get over that. Whining to security the whole night is only going to ruin the experience for yourself and the other person (people) involved. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and just deal with it for one night.
