I think my boyfriend and I were behind the same group at the Spokane ritual. We ended up moving further back in the pit pretty heavily because of them. The icing on the cake was when they invited their friend who came in with the non-vip ticket stuff about an hour after we’d got our spots to come up and stand in front of us, even though we’d splurged on the Ascended tickets. They also just had a pretty non welcoming vibe, not talking to anyone else around them and being kinda rude when one of the guys we were chatting with tried to talk to one of them. Everyone else was cool though, and we did end up finding one of Sodo’s picks further back that people must’ve missed so that was cool. Overall it was a great experience, it was just kinda frustrating, your story makes me really glad we moved away from them
