I was also right next to the mosh pit in Lux (to the left of it), and that one was a bit more stressful though. I had a family with a small kid next to me and I was stressed for the kid most of the show, trying to make sure no one would fall over her. I have heard similar comments regarding France from @solongfromthestars and @Rumpelstiltskin2000, but my very limited experience queuing here was the Paris and Lyon shows last year, and they were both quite nice! No issues during the queue, everyone was friendly and respectful. Towards the end of the day there's always someone who wants to cut to the front of the queue and complaining or making stuff up about the numbering system/fan organized queue (the classic "I've been here since 3 AM but I didn't realize everyone else around me had numbers, and no one has actually seen me at the queue at any point of the day" ?), but I've found that to happen in most places, I don't think it was any worse or more frequent at these shows.

Hey! I'm 34, still queuing, jumping up and down and singing along to every song, and no intention to quit in the foreseeable future, and in the queues I've met people much older than I am, who are also traveling to see Green Day, also queuing all day to get a good spot, and also super hyped to see their favorite band. Your enjoyment of the band and of live music doesn't have an expiration date.

Definitely. ? I wasn't queing for any of the shows. Same as the last tour before of the VIPs and it's definitely different. It's by no means similar standing next to someone who freaks out during 21 guns and next to someone who get's as excited as you when they play the deep cuts. Standing with someone you've been queing with all day at the barrier is sort of like "we made it". ??? My experiences with queing in Paris has been the worst. From people in the queue, the crowd and to security (all from handeling the queue/moving us to different places, letting us in, one guard physically held me back without any reason, I wasn't running or anything,  refusing to give information in English and one security guard wouldn't give me water until a French man next to me asked in French. It was very obvious what I was asking for).  Glad your experience was good. ?

The people next to me getting super excited with 21 Guns and being completely indifferent to Saviors was literally the case for me in Ams And I am sorry you have had such terrible experiences here! How common these stories are really makes me worry that my mostly positive experience in France last year were just a fluke and that next time it will be a disaster. The security guy not giving you water is some real asshole-ry. But I will only partially defend the ones not giving instructions in English - it might be that they really didn't speak English, even if maybe they could understand a bit. In France is not at all like in Germanic and Scandinavian countries, where it's pretty standard that most people speak English. Still though, if there were any locals in the queue, I would expect at least some of them would be able to help translate for the non-French folks ?

I had the same with the Insomniac tracks in Vienna. ? It really isn't the same.  Thank you. ? I'm glad you had a good experience. ? I have heard many who's had the same problems unfortunately. I have never experienced so many people not respecting people who have been queing as I have for shows in Paris. Not knowing proper English to explain something is fine but everything could have been solved better than it was. The guy who wouldn't give me water, that was solely because I don't speak French. There's no doubt in my mind. We had been queing in the heat all day and still. Total douchebag.  When I went to Brussels for the Rev Rad tour no one who was queing knew French and one girl tried to use some of her school French to talk to the guards. They just laughed at her and didn't bother to respond.  All combined with how people acted in the queue, inside the venue (some of the people I had been queing with went to the bar instead of dealing with other's who had standing tickets) and with security, I said to myself that I would never be queing for a show in France again. I did an exception for Bataclan because of the venue size. ? I had seats last year for Paris and even then several of the guards asked me why I don't speak French. So yeah, I have absolutely no desire to learn French. ?
