I don't think they'd care about the general pushing/shoving/jumping, so the concert wouldn't be "classical like." I'm sure they're not stupid and would know it's a concert so they wouldn't try to stop normal behavior. Only illegal behavior and stop fans attacking other fans.

Isn't it normal to have police at an event that could get out of control? 1,000 attention starved fangirls can be dangerous.

At least police have the authority (and guts hopefully) to do something if fans start getting violent.

Exactly! However, the L.A.P.D have a bad rep because of reports of "police brutality" (i.e. Rodney King case back in the early 90s) and such. I mean, obviously not ALL L.A.P.D officers are that way - some can be jerks and others are decent. I'd assume a-hole cops and nice cops exist in EVERY department. It's just with the reports of police brutality and other issues more recently, people tend to have a negative view of the officers.

Hhhmmmmm......kind of like VAMPS has a-hole fans and nice fans. Hopefully the west coast shows will be full of the nice fans.

Ohhh believe me!! I'm from Mexico and I had planned on camping haha X-D It is not only about an obsession about being on first row, I do think that the experience of the waiting with other fans would be something unforgettable :-) I will go on queue as soon as permitted, hope to see you guys there and hope we all behave and make VAMPS proud of us: energetic, but conscious.

does anyone know when they will permit lines to be forming. i wanna be up front but i'm not keen on the idea of sleeping on the streets for days... >_>

Possibly sometime after 1 or 2 am. I'm not really sure.

ONLY NICE FANS ALLOWED lol. As for the Rodney King case that was I believed judged to be a racial thing. I remember that very clearly and it caused riots as well. But every state/town has cops that are racial/violent/power tripish etc.

wow, I'm from Mexico too and i was thinking about camping jeje
but if it's not allowed then i'll wait patiently and hope to get in the first row...
i'm agree with the security measures they're taking for the LA concert, I've been in rock concerts before (but nothing happened to me) and trust me it's not funny to see how people hit others.

We'll be there to have fun with VAMPS and even if it's a rock concert I'm sure we can enjoy it without acting as an stampede of animals.
