They didn't play Hello yet either. I'm just dying to hear that song.

I was also pushed to the ground because apparently the girl thought I was pushing her which I WASN'T at all. All the other girls were pushing me. I have bruises, scratches, hair pulled and whole body hurts. I actually cried after the show because of all that happened. I mean was pushing me down on the ground really hard and I hit it really hard too. *Sigh* I didn't enjoy the show at all. I mean at all.

I hope you are ok icey. I had anticipated a good time since it was smaller venue.....not so.
I ended up 4 rows in front of Hyde....this is not where I started out nor where I wanted to be. I was crushed there by the crowd. To others who have said if you don't want smashed then move, let me tell you that you CANNOT get out. You are locked in.
My night started out by getting pummeled by two stocky boys. Then I had a large, smelly man in front of me who kept hitting and stomping on me. Then a couple of large size girls but at least they just kept stepping on me with no hitting. The worst was this one girl who just kept hitting with her body. I told her that there was enough room but she was mean. Her method of torture was to jump up and down on top of you. She really hurt the little Japanese girl next to me but of course she didn't care.
The security guards did NOTHING! They just sat on the stage. The one in front of where I was would keep shoving the crowd and knocking people down.
What is sad is that this venue is so small, that none of this needed to happen. You were able to see the band up close even from the back edges.
I hope San Diego is better.

------------------
man, i'm so sorry so many of you had a hard, bad time with the crowd. there is no justification for people so losing control that they hurt others. and some of them really seem to derive pleasure form it as they keep doing it over and over.

@iceybabes: i'm really sorry as i know how much this shows mean to you. hopefully the next 2 will be better.

@ tracy: glad you didn't get knocked down. and woohoo for getting spat on!?! ^ ^

@cathb: that kind of rough treatment is hard on us older gens, hope you are ok. personally, i don't see why people think they should throw away all sense of courtesy and normal behavior when they go to a show. you can have just as much fun NOT beating the person /s in close proximity to a pulp. *shakes head*

but at least the band was good and that part was somewhat enjoyed....?
