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. ?

Sounds like we were almost right next to each other at some point then! Sorry to hear you got squeezed. It's scary! But glad to hear you had a good time otherwise.

    I completely forgot to respond to this. I knew saying about seniority at 34 would cause damage hahaha
Anyway my thoughts about the future are "who knows where I will be in 4 years, who knows if I will be able to afford a concert or I won't have the money even for rent or a mortgage" At the moment I still live with my parents because I have had a serious job for 1 year and mostly I am alone. The economic situation in italy if you are single is not the best. 
If there was a concert next year and I would also be 35 years old maybe I would live it better. 
Here maybe it's not the age itself, maybe it's the years between now and the next tour. 
The problem is that even next year without a Green Day tour maybe I will have to think about a new car first instead of doing two concerts in a row.

My botox forehead felt it. ??? Life isn't always consistent. Maybe we can go to several shows one year and another year we won't be able to go to any shows for various different reasons. That's how it goes.
