sadiemonster966 0 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 do you know specifically which one elbowed someone in the throat? i would love to know. ??? We were talking to venue security. I don't go to shows down there usually so I don't know anything about Chicago Monsters. This had nothing to do with Gaga loving them because she wasn't there and Gaga's security wasn't there when they were pushing in front of everybody else. They didn't get backstage, they just pushed in front of everybody else including LMZ and venue security at ANY other place would have at least said something to them, especially when one of them elbowed someone in the throat for front row. Regardless, there is nothing "um HELLO" about this for me because I know nothing about the "Chicago Monsters". I do know that they made other people cry though and I was not gonna just sit back and watch that happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie 68 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 do you know specifically which one elbowed someone in the throat? i would love to know.

Travis 543 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 so then how do you know if it was true? its probably people making **** up. Because we were in the crowd. We know it happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie 68 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 so then how do you know if it was true? its probably people making **** up. Because we spent all day with these people and they were nice, honest, good people. The person they were talking about was part of a group of people who were pushing ahead of everybody, rudely, despite getting there hours after the people they pushed in front of. So I choose to believe the person who was genuinely nice over someone who would knowingly ruin the experience for other people just so they can get what they want.

Travis 543 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 To whoever attended, was there a merchandise tent or something? Yes, they had a merch table outside of the fest as well as sold merch inside the gate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie 68 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 well what if it was just an accident They were pushing in front of people deliberately to get to the front. There is a 0% chance it could have been an accident - they were saying "EXCUSE ME, I KNOW HER" and pointing to someone in the front row. When I said that I knew someone in the front row too but that didn't mean I get to be in the front if I got there after other people, they just looked at me funny and kept doing it until they were in the front row. They knew what they were doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew what they were doing. There was one girl who somehow managed to shove her way to the front, and I've heard nasty stories about her previously. She was complaining about being "too short" and couldn't see, so that's why she needed to get to the front. All I could think was "If you wanted to be front center, you should of arrived earlier." I also know one of the security guards in front of me (I was up against the barricade) saw this girl pushing people and yelled at her pretty good and said absolutely no pushing is allowed. But, that was the only thing I saw security do, unfortunately. I'm still upset she managed to get to the front of the crowd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm surprised any security guard even said anything to her if so tbh. People tried to tell security about the people who probably pushed in front of like 8 rows of people including LMZ and they literally just said "it's a concert, there will be pushing." k. I just felt awful - Travis and I spent basically the entire opening acts and after the show promising people that it's not usually that bad because for so many of them, it was their first show and IDK if I ever would have gone back to see her, at least in GA, if that was my first experience. Also, here's me, one singular chick, trying to hold back the force of 100+ people from pushing into all our new friends with my body/arm/etc. A lot of them were really short and everyone was overwhelmed (I was too, this was abnormally crazy). I feel like I was surprisingly successful, actually. That being said, there was a kid in GA with his parents who was like 8, and when I turned to ask him if he was okay thinking "OMG!!! That poor kid, *I* can barely handle this!!" he was just standing there with a smile and a "yeah!!!" That kid was badass.

There was someone behind me who was doing his hardest to make sure everyone had room, and it made me feel a lot better. It was terrible when Gaga would reach her hand into the crowd/her dancers threw the stuffed animals. People would just smack my head trying to touch her hand and it was unbelievable. It was like people turned into animals at the thought of trying to touch Gaga, it made me so mad. Like go ahead and reach your hand, but do not shove people/hit other people trying to do so. Also, that is adorable! I'm so glad some people had fun. This was my first Gaga show and unfortunately it wasn't nearly as enjoyable for me as it could of been, so I'm really hoping I can see her again in the near future.
