I attended this show, and oh my god... let me just tell you...
During no point during the show was I ever standing perfectly upright with both feet on the ground. The crowd NEVER stopped moving/swaying. It was literally like watching a show where the audience was standing in an ocean. The audience was an ocean. During the majority of show I was either standing on one foot and tilted slightly sideways, or I had no feet on the ground and was just being hoisted up via being smushed between The San Francisco Gays ™. Because the crowd was constantly moving, I somehow shifted all the way to 3rd row when I started off somewhere between 6th-10th row. I remember at one point we all tilted at 30 degree angles to the left, then the right, then the back, before being upright again. I don't really know how else to describe that moment, but it was like everyone was falling over all at once. I'm surprised the whole crowd didn't topple to the floor. It was pretty terrifying. But we just kept sliding until everyone was upright again. It was hectic guys, I'm telling you. The most wild concert experience I've ever had.
Oh, and a literal fistfight broke out during 'Young & Beautiful' like three feet away from where I was. I just thought the juxtaposition of Lana up on stage singing a beautiful lovesong ballad and some gays screaming at each other and throwing punches was so hilarious. Eventually one of them got socked in the nose and was bleeding and had to be carried out of the crowd.
& Towards the end of the show, I think at Video Games which was the third to last song, this gay literally made like a drill formation. He put his hands in a triangle formation over his head and would bend over and just charge through people to try to get to the front. At this point I was 4th row and was not about to let this gay push me back any further so I took my gum out and put it in his hair without him even noticing. To this day, I still view this as the worst thing I've ever done to another human being, but.... *Kim Kardashian 'it's what she deserves' gif*
At the end of the show, I was literally drenched in other people's sweat (the guy I was standing next to was soaking through his shirt and of course I was pushed up against him, it was so nasty) and the floor was COVERED in weaves, sweaters, lipsticks, glasses, books, etc. You couldn't even see the floor.. soooo many fucking hair extensions, guys.
My feet were completely destroyed after the show too from everyone stepping on them, but I really didn't care about that during the show, I just suffered through it. But for about a week afterwards I had to wear slippers every day lol. I thought for sure my boss was going to be on my arse about it because she was reeeaaally particular about our work dress guidelines, but she was a total G and completely understood and let it slide lol.
It was the most wild thing I've ever experienced from top to bottom, but of course it was 100% worth it and I'd do it a million times over. #anythingforlana
But I got in! Indianapolis show. 90 freaking minutes of getting errored out. I ended up buying platinum tickets, basically bronze without the package. Row P. That's 16 if I'm counting right.
I won't say how much I paid because I don't want to faint. But, I also will be getting my ticket mailed to me instead of will call for the packages. I do NOT like will call if I can avoid it.
