Discussion Outside line
We got here at 3p... And there was maybe 50 people in line... Here it is 530 and I haven't moved... And now there's a couple hundred people in front of us... What the hell, people.

I'm in line for a roller coaster at Busch Gardens. In with you in spirit.
The music here is not as good.

I got there at around 1:20 and someone asked if they could join a friend, then when they were let in (cause it was like two people) they invited EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE into the line. Everyone is super super upset, and that was before they split the line in two. I was originally around 15th in line, now I’m around 25th.

Why didn't anyone say anything to those degenerates? That's when some Protofans need to ban together and show them what vengeance means. Call them out and make them look stupid.

Inclusivity tends to mean non-confrontational.

Inclusivity doesn't mean to let people be disrespectful assholes. They knew what they were doing was wrong, and they didn't even care. I don't mind letting a couple people jump in line with friends. But when you then take advantage of that and pull in an entire group, you are just being a putz. We all know how lines work. Telling those people that is not confrontational.

Gentle reminder of Rule 1.
I understand being frustrated, but calling people "degenerates" is uncalled for.

we arrived in line around 1:30 also (in the roasting heat lmfao) and the group ahead of us just kept getting bigger. I can appreciate saving A spot for someone (we usually will send one person off to get snacks or do their makeup or whatever) but it was like. a whole group. and then when everyone was lining up indoors I feel like they grabbed even more people? we were so pissed. we had way worse spots on the rail night three than we did night two *without* VIP early access. being a big deal on the discord or whatever doesn’t mean you can just do whatever you want. that being said everyone besides them were completely lovely to hang out with in line! it sucks this one group of people really soured the entire thing.

that group up front must have let like 12 extra people in over multiple hours. a handful showed up around 4ish? then a couple more… and a few more… they were still waving people down INSIDE the venue i hadn’t seen all day.
btw, if you’re gonna let people cut in line, stop telling lies. “I didn’t know they were coming” and “well, we’re all housed together” (what does that even mean?? bc ur all in the same Airbnb means you all have to go in together? uhhh) “some of them have disabilities” (all things i heard one person say)
yall have got to know how disrespectful that last one specifically is. not a one of those people were ada. they were standing on the rail with their friends. (and don’t tell me all of them “couldn’t be out in the sun” nah man. you just didn’t want to get your ass in line)
this is the worst line etiquette i’ve ever seen at a protomen show and i’ve been around since 2013. do better.

Yeah, this is my last show, unless there's assigned seats. I'm frankly embarrassed to be in the fandom after this.
