Would Sir Paul approve??

Hello all, I have been a DIE HARD beatles, mccartney, lennon, starr and harrison fan since infancy. I like to often say the beatles raised me since my parents were so young when they had me. At 10 my father brought me to see Ringo in concert. I was in the 8th row. I was having the time of my life, but the concert went late and i passed out!! Only i could fall asleep at a concert at 10
My fiance purchased 2 tix to see Paul this past Friday at Yankee stadium. My sister - also a HUGE fan and I were beyond excited! When Paul came on stage we got out of our seats and began to rock out!! Song 3 came on and the female security guard pointed to us and motioned that we were done. my sister and i left our seats to ask her what the problem was and she was ready to KICK US OUT FOR STANDING FOR 3 straight songs! My sister had to BEG her to let us remain and she would ONLY do so if we DID NOT MOVE OUT of OUR SEATS! We remained in our seats for the rest of the show and were totally in fear that if even 1 butt cheek moved from our seat we would be kicked out! So there I was, seated during Hey Jude, during Here Today, during Let Me Roll it, during Dance Tonight. Can you believe this? I went to guest services once the concert was over to report the lady and they said they would call me after speaking to her, but like i figured no call came, no apology no nothing. She didnt take the message away from me that Paul was conveying- i would NEVER let her have that power, but man I wish i could have danced the ENTIRE night away!!!!!!!!

Ouch... Unfortunately that's the policy in a lot of venues. Paul's own security doesn't give a damn, they want you to stand, but stadium security can be a pain. We went through the same last year at Hampden. During the support act people stood up to dance but were told by Hampden security to sit down or they'd be removed. I asked one security guy why on earth that was and I just got a grumpy 'that's policy, sit your ass down'. I feared that was gonna happen during Paul's gig as well so I talked to one of Paul's people who talked to Paul's security who talked to stadium security and right before Paul's gig started we were told we could stand. But yes, if you catch the wrong security people they can tell you to sit down and yes, they have the right to remove you

To answer your question Paul personal would not approve, I'm sure of that, he wants people to move, but apparently sometimes venue security is in charge and that's when shit might happen.

Its just so tragic!! The security people really dont care about the fans in anyway, and it just shouldnt be that way, but it is... total bummer!
-
That is so strange... and she ought to be fired quite honestly. What a shame. At the price paid for tickets, and considering the legend on stage, nobody could make me sit down! It's rock n roll time!
Welcome to the board by the way!
Sorry to hear that.

That's too bad-the Cincinnati concert had a lot of security but they were friendly, respectful, and let us have fun,the only time I saw security step in was when some drunken moron almost fell down the steps near to where I was sitting-for the record, the show hadn't even begun....
