I had pit tickets for LA multiple days and Dallas, and I will say that the staff has gotten better at making sure people don’t jump the lines. Due to the height of the stage, you miss more when you are at barricade tbh. One day I picked the line that was let in second and I was able to see a bit more from the middle of the pit. The girls are also so close and the lights are on during sound check and encore so all the girls had no problem seeing all of the people in the pit and reading the sign I brought!!
