PIT SITUATION?

Long story short, I’ve been to a lot of punk shows, and in all types of pits.

I went a little crazy and got a GA/Pit ticket for their show in SF (going alone- and for the record, 5’3 woman, petite build) and every person in my life is extremely concerned that I have pit tickets, but none of these people were ever involved in the hardcore scene.

Worst pit I’ve ever been in was at a Mac Demarco concert. Death grips was MILD compared to that, and that was also pretty bad but I went alone and survived that.

I saw Joyce Manor years ago and I got knocked to the ground hard at some point during the show (like hat fell off my head, scraped my arms and legs, wind knocked out of me the whole shebang) but I was instantly picked up by 4 big dudes that made sure I was okay and even rinsed the blood off my arms w their water bottles before sending me on my way. I’m assuming/ hoping MCR will be a similar vibe where people are considerate but now I’m truly wondering because I’ve NEVER seen them live.

I also haven’t been to a show for ANYTHING since pre Covid, so I’m not sure what I’m walking into or if the scene has gotten more or less intense than it’s been in the years before Covid.

Any anecdotes appreciated <3
