I was about to buy Jack White tickets today and... I think I'll pass.
Don't get me wrong. I've seen several shows, including Jack White, that politely ask the audience to keep their phones away for part or all of the show. That's fine with me and it basically works.
But as much as I'd like to see Jack White again, I really don't enjoy being treated like a child.
- nugi 9y agoGlad people who cant put down their phones, won't be there. Sounds like a win when people insistent on being selfish excluse themselves. Yes, very childish.
- acdanger 9y agoI don't get your response; would you not go to a state park because there's a rule against operating motorized vehicles on the hiking trails?
- sushisource 9y agoThat's a totally wrong analogy. A more accurate one would be when you go to the park, they boot your car and any motorized vehicles you brought on it, and you have to find someone to un-boot them when you're done. In your analogy, the park is doing what the commentor says. Politely asking you not to do that.
- jasonthevillain 9y agoNot at all. I also go to all sorts of concerts that don't allow cameras. It's the "how" that rubs me the wrong way. Your state park would indicate "no vehicles beyond this point" and I assume if anyone starting driving on the hiking trail they'd be asked to follow the rules or leave. That's different than insisting you hand over your keys in order to enter the park. That wouldn't feel quite right, would it?
- excalibur 9y agoAs much as I enjoy being treated like a child, I really don't want to see Jack White.
- nicky0 9y agoThat's fine it is your choice not to attend no-phone shows.
