I like to think karma takes care of these people. After all what can anybody really do, tell on them? I don't like these situations either but some people feel privileged, that's just the way it is.

Grzegorz67, perfect analysis. Especially at work. Instead of being corrected they're rewarded. It can be frustrating. But I believe these people pay the piper eventually.

Karma can wait. I've encountered aggressive, pushy drunks at shows and you deal with them by pushing back. Last one at U2 got thrown about 20 feet when he kept trying to knock my wife down. I'd have no problems telling this family to "f*ck off or I'll knock your teeth out".

i stood just behind the PIT, Golden circle at Edinburough.
there was a lot of pushing behind me. there were some drunken pople (men and women) trying to get a good spot and shved people around. i am not exactly strong or tall. But i can have an angry look in my eyes. So, i turned around, looked at them and told them to leave the people alone and get The @#$%& Out . They got scared and went away.

Welcome to Scotland I was there too but in the seats. You should have been at the BtB show in the same stadium in 1999. No Pit and no gold circle. Whole floor GA. Security was very poor and lots of people got in with glass bottles. Once empty they were rolling around on the floor being kicked around as the crowd at the front jumped up and down.

The Pit fight thread!
For laughs, never been in a fight in my life and weigh about 100 pounds.
Father Ted says ‘put ‘em straight’,
that’s all well and good,
until the drunk looks my H in the eyes and suddenly my H (who CAN fight and lifts) stills and looks back...
suddenly FRICk I think it’s gonna roll in the Paris Pit and 1 more ruined RS show! No! I reel my man back in and let it go (almost)
Twickenham kid you not a female 4’10 mocked me as she shoved past me.
I’m a solo in this Pit, and I can take this chick. I think Keith came on then and I cried instead.
BTW I was sober as a judge.
Careful in the Pits!

What what. Almost got in fights in the Pits when fans who drink to much or are jerks shove other people out of the way to get in front of you.
I think I’m losing my touch.

Don't blame you. Me too.

Alcohol...
Either they need another drink or have to go to the bathroom so it usually sorts itself out naturally.
Try telling the offenders this: "Did you get your free drinks yet? No?! All these expensive PIT tickets come with free drinks...just go to the entrance area and ask for the special drink wristband."
Anyone/Anything that distracts me from the band for more than a moment or two is an unacceptable nuisance. Don't ever spend too much time on these drunkards.
Survival of the Fittest.
I am totally going to try this.Quote

Haha. I like the “free drink wristband” idea. Actually would probably work.

I’m sorry. I’m having a lousy day or 2 too. Don’t mean to be snappy.
