I was at Dodger Stadium for the GN'R show. What I'm asking is more check points protecting a bigger area around the venue At the o2 in London you can't enter the arena without putting your bag, coat and phone through the scanning machine and then you have to walk through the metal detectors. You can still enter the foyer though, anyone can. Ive never been checked in any other UK arena, and I take bags with me. Only Manchester stadium checked me, but I'm guessing their staff are more trained in what to look for as they deal with the football crowds as well.

Basically you'd cripple emergency services to a point where you'd make it easier for terrorists to just do a shot somewheres else. How many concerts do you have in one city at the same day at same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should check anything anywhere. After all if it so fuckin' useless as we see it is. Let' do nothing at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many concerts do you have over Europe though? And then factor in football matches, all the weekend fixtures? And how many other sports?

Wantage Road, third day of a county championship fixture is a nightmare to police, what with that one old man and his dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 On the topic of bag checking… my last visit to Manchester Arena went something like this: Security: "You've got a book!" Me: "In case Black Sabbath are boring." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the o2 in London and at a stadium did they have any real system of checking. When you're at these places, no matter what checks have been made, you can still see situations where it would be easy for a terrorist to strike a large number of people in one go.

Natty Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It is a nightmare for the parents of the Kids and all the others who lost their lives. Such an attack is so unfair! Assholes! I do not want to Change my life and stay at home just because some assholes use concerts to kill as many People as possible! I will attend 3 GNR Shows this summer and I only can pray and hope that no human being will destroy our lives. I have a small daughter but I dont want to let terrorists win over my leisure time. I am gonna go to all the concerts and just enjoy and hope everything will be fine. I have no words however to describe how sorry I feel for Bataclan and Manchester victims 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, fuck it. I don't care about these things most of the time, right? But I have a sister that age who adores Ariana Grande and I can only imagine how crushed I'd be had something like that happened to her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not go to concerts regardless but an added benefit of that is I evade all of the security 'anal cavity searches' rubbish (and yes, terrorism).
