Reluctant to post this as I am still shook up by it. Hoping to get some positive feedback and/or support.

I bought tickets for this show the day they went on sale. Scored row C, three rows off the floor, aisle seats. A few songs into Tyler's set and I stood up. Within a few minutes people behind me are telling me to sit down and tapping me on the shoulder. I said no. They kept harassing me so I told them to stop talking to me and leave me alone. They reported me to Moda staff. Staff show up and wanna talk to me out in the corridor. As I am walking out the husband/boyfriend of the women who was harassing me threatened to kick my ass.

As I am talking to staff in the corridor another couple who witnessed this show up to explain that I had done nothing besides stand up. Staff decides to relocate me. Four or five security personnel escorted me to my new seats. Same thing happens. Again a woman starts harassing me for standing and again her boyfriend/husband threatened to kick my ass as I am leaving my seats with Moda staff. Staff decides to eject me from the venue. As soon as I tried to state my case and explain how this isn't fair multiple staff members put their hands on me and start leading me towards the door.

I want to extend a big time THANK YOU to the couple who came to my defense. I'm so glad you were there. I've been to 100's of concerts, including Childers in Seattle the night before, and have never once been kicked out of a show. I also can't remember a single time as an adult where there was even a small possibility of a physical altercation. I'm still in shock. Literally the night before in Seattle was one of the best concert experiences of my life followed up by the worst concert experience I've ever had. For a number of reasons Moda is a terrible concert venue and you can be sure I'll never be there again. Unimaginable that staff felt justified in putting their hands on me. I'm glad I kept it together cause, holy shit, that could have escalated fast. Mostly I'm just super disappointed that I didn't get to see one of my favorite artists and paid $165 just to be harassed and booted out mid way through the show.

Oh, and, shout-out to Wednesday for saying FUCK ICE and FREE PALESTINE! The bootlicking wanna-be outlaws in my section didn't appreciate it, but I sure as hell did.

Looking for someone to see Tyler Childers with me this coming Sat, at Moda. I have two lower level aisle seats, one of which I intend to use. Single ticket face value price is $165. If paying full price for a ticket is an issue maybe we can work something else out?

About me: avid live music attendee; mostly oriented towards the jamband and bluegrass realm. I am seeing Childers the night before in Seattle so this will be my second time ever seeing him perform. I've never used Reddit to network in this type of way before until last week when I responded to a post about Sturgill Simpson tickets. I ended up going with a stranger from Reddit and we had a fantastic time. Single 43(m). I don't consider myself actively dating and am not looking for any particular type of connection. I do enjoy meeting and getting to know new people. If you wanna know more let's chat!

I have two lower section aisle seats for Fri. 10/2, in Seattle, at Climate Pledge; AND; two lower section aisle seats for Sat. 10/3, in Portland, at Moda. Looking for someone interested in going with me or someone wanting any amount of tickets from me. So far I haven't found anyone interested in going. I've had unexpected expenses come up recently and would like to get some cash back for these tickets but am open to the right sorta friendly connection? The Cash or Trade app works well.

About me: avid live music goer but oriented more towards the jamband and bluegrass realm. This will be my first time seeing Tyler Childers; although I did stand outside the amphitheater in Bend when he was performing and listened from afar once. Ten plus seasons working in the tourism industry, mostly on boats as a deckhand, mostly in Alaska but elsewhere too. I don't have a hotel room lined up for either night and often sleep easy enough in my mini van.

Straight, cis, 43M based out of Albany looking for a friendly person to see Jesse Welles with in PDX this Wed. My friend let me know last night that he isn't able to go. My other mid Willamette valley buddy that I used to see music with passed unexpectedly earlier this summer.

Seeing a lot of live music over the next 8 weeks and hope to find someone interested in sharing in some of that. Bands on my radar for the next 8 weeks include Jesse Welles, JRAD or Sugar Beets, Greensky Bluegrass, Infamous Stringdusters, Carsie Blanton, Tyler Childers, Strugill Simpson, Billy Strings.

This seems like a long shot but figured I would try something different. If this is of interest to you let's chat!✌️🧡🙏
