Locking cell phones at concerts

This is quite possibly the worst example of all time, in any context.

It's like wondering why nobody is instagramming the Murder She Wrote marathon on the Hallmark Channel.

Awesome I did it!!!!!’

;D :o 8) :P

I got one :)

my 2 cents. i have no problem locking up the phones.
BUT, there are worse annoyances at concerts.

1/ drunkenness
2/ aggressive old dudes moshing
3/ incessant talking

4/ airborne bottles?

Sure, though that's a space freely phenomenon regarding which I have no personal experience.

5/ Farting/Smelliness

farting, at shows . . . really bothers me.

The worst. Actually,  singing is the worst  but that doesn't seem to happen nearly as often.

I don’t fart so….

do you think you could survive a whole show without caring about your cell phone?  to pass the time between bands.  to look up a beer on tap you have never heard of.  to tell who ever, on whatever, that you are there.  some photos, or it didn't happen, would be nice.  I am curious, how long I would last before I got uptight about it.

It can be done. But it would definitely make time berween sets drag. I go to 90% of shows by myself so WTF else am I supposed to do?

I go to most shows by myself, don't own a phone, and rarely purchase alcohol at a show. Somehow, I survive.

Yes. But I'm also 40 and remember when I never had a phone at all.

Space,  get yourself a damn phone.

I actually do have a $50 pay as you go phone from Verizon. I use it for emergencies and when I *really* need to call someone. Most of the minimum funds I put on it every three months go to waste. A few times people have texted me and I figured out how to reply, but I'm not sure I could initiate a text message. If the phone has other features, I am ignorant to them.

My wife and daughter are big social media/phone people. I'm happy being a simpleton, the way I was before technology took over our lives.
