You’re giving me flashbacks to last month: sitting in my truck smoking about to go inside Home Depot and someone tries to pull in next to me, I’m thinking “he’s not gonna make that turn.” Sure enough he realizes he’s too diagonal and backs up to straighten out, cranks his wheel the opposite way, front end of his truck swings out and hits my rear bumper and tail light. Luckily it only hit the bumper ($350-400) and tail light ($50). Missed the bedside panel by 3” ($500+labor, likely several hundred, plus paint, also likely a few hundred and would never match perfectly)

I mean every venue and show calls that area at the front "pit", but Bangor events this summer have slashed the size and the number of folks allowed in and replaced it with corporate VIP boxes and additional seating. As for the restricted idea, I have no clue, but assume it's so they can eject people more easily assuming their secuirty can brave their way in.

The GA pit to Pantera/Lamb of God is apparently under 200-250 people. Unless you have GA/VIP ticket, which will gain you a wrist band, you aren't gaining access as there is just one entry. Moshing will also apparently be "restricted" whatever the fuck that means. Bangor's plan this summer seems to be doing everything it can to remove the pit from most shows or charging extreme VIP costs as more of a experience that close to the stage.
