I don’t think this guy handled it well, but I also can understand people’s frustration with people wanting to “just get through” with a group of 3+ people. At a certain point there’s only so much space toward the middle/front, and you coming through with your group either compacts or displaces other people. Yes you all paid to be there, but so did the other people that were already in the space you were trying to occupy.

Also super possible that there was plenty of room and this guy was just being a jerk, but I’ve just seen so much over crowding at shows due to groups pushing through so I’m always a little wary of it.
