That's bad. I was a bit worried at Llandudno at one point, but then I thought that the people down the front would be there to see the band rather than steal stuff, so I relaxed a bit.

But that is awful.

Nice!

It's really awful that these bastards are nicking shit and getting away with it, ruining people's gigs in the process. I'll be sure to break the fingers of anyone that tries to invade my pockets. Thanks for the heads up.

i spent most of the gig waving my iPhone in the direction of my mate showing him the setlist and ruining all the 'suprises'.

just keep your wits about you and it'll be fine.

It's a gig thing, I know someone who was one of 34 (minimum) people to get their phone nicked at the Maximo Park gig in Liverpool Academy 1 the other day. I keep mine well concealed at gigs.

I felt someone's hand lingering suspiciously on the back of my leg, so stuck my hand in pocket to stop them trying to nick my camera.



They might just have been copping a feel though.

Bloody wankers obsessed with material goods.
I've promised to phone someone during the gig so that means i need my phone, and i think ill buy whatever as soon as i get in, so i'll only have a small amount on me during the gig

Yeah that's shit

Someone should fill up a cheap mp3 player with manics music, if it's stolen, at least you're spreading the band love eh!

Probably - £25 for a ticket, and you're easily going to make that up and much more by just nicking a few phones, especially if you get an iPhone. There are probably some people out there who pretty much make a living out of it.

oooh, sorry about your phone man, but thanks for letting us know. TO THE CLOAKROOM!

I know if I keep my wits about me I'll be ok, but I dont trust myself to be able to tell the difference between someone going through my bag/pockets and the general pushy/pully nature of a crowd at a gig.

Bunch of thieving bastards.

Just shout at them in a Geordie accent and that'll fettle them. It always worked for me, anyway
