Security stuff can be weird. I'm not the guy waiting for autographs or anything, so I hardly ever run into them.
Did have a funny one as a kid though. I was maybe 12?
The family went to Tanglewood (Boston pops summer place and about the least metal venue there is if you didn't know)
Weekdays they sell tickets to practice, so you get a sort of reduced experience way less crowded though.
The place was nearly empty, back then they had the center seats where the acoustics were best painted white. So that's where I sat. all by myself, nearest person was maybe a hundred feet away.
Guess who security wants to talk to?
Yeah.
"What are you doing here"
"Listening to the music"
"Why are you in these seats instead of somewhere else." (them pretty much saying they want to sneak off, but have to keep an eye on the geeky kid in the good seats)
"These are the seats with the best acoustics right? "
"Yeah, so"
"That's why I'm here. The band is going to start again soon, my parents are over there" (Me basically telling them to get lost)
Later on we got thrown out of a closed indoor practice.... hey, door wasn't locked and there was no sign...
