This is raw footage so it may be rough. Apologies for any times I may have lost composure. I recorded this not to capture the concert or music but to document the atrocious and dangerous ADA experience specifically during the concert.

dang those are some banging jams! jealous
Please share this around so the appropriate people see it and more people are aware of how dangerous this was not just for ADA people but for all at the event. This needs to be addressed and can’t be allowed to be ignored.
I feel bad for ADA, the logistics was a total shitshow. Square may copyright this video and DMCA it from youtube but keep it for any potential ADA lawsuit.
Hi @TheXBOXLIVEPARTY. I was actually sitting in the next row ahead of you to the right (the guy wearing the blue hat in glasses). Instead of enjoying the concert I had to keep flagging down Loporrits to kick some of the people running up back. I could not see the screens at all due to an individual 6ft+ in front of me standing, I myself couldn’t really stand up as I’d block the view of an individual behind me in a wheelchair. The ADA treatment was a joke for most of the venue and as ADA myself, I am disappointed in how this was organized. Between miscommunications between security and the loporrits, last-minute changes, and how the general exhibit floor was set up, we were all wronged.
< The guy leaving in the wheelchair with his wife because the few inconsiderate people in front of me kept knocking into the seat and hurting my busted leg. Shout out to the security guy and the floor worker for pushing them forward every chance they got. It was a pretty shit experience to say the least.
Deleted my old chain cause I likely misheard ( i am hard of hearing lol) and sorry about that! Also, I can confirm being in that same row as you that the ada section was handled poorly. Felt like the pit kept getting closer though the SE staff guy carrying the line capped sign did a good job pushing everyone back in line.
I'm not fully aware or fully educated of the ADA community, but this is one point of discussion i've been noticing even on day 1 of and would like to focus on that in the coming days or be canceled just for statin the facts that negative experiences can happen in a "positive event".
Thank you for your experience as this'll help me understand points for later discussions.
Oh listenig to "scream" without the female singer sounds weird, Her voice is beatiful
OP – Hears several reminders about recording being prohibited.
OP – Records anyway.
OP – Gets told 28 minutes in not to record.
OP – Still records for another hour and 20 minutes.
Yes, ADA seating probably should've been up front, but it wasn't.
Since it wasn't, that puts you above the rules and allows you to record?
I appreciate this upload, I was actually here but 5 mins before the concert I had to take my bf to the hospital. We missed it but he's fine now! Will show this to him when I get the chance too
Thanks for sharing the concert! I'm really disappointed the concert wasn't streamed and they're all my favorite songs. I was hoping to see them live.
i saw the chocobros
28:14 you are in all your right bro you can barely watch from there💀
was super excited at first to see that somebody recorded the concert, but now im shocked that the venue and event staff let this happen. this is awful and im so sorry this happened to you.
ok that was my view when i went to fanfest, whats the problem . i didn't complain.
Want to feel bad but the entitlement just oozing 🙄
So there was plenty of space and security told is that we were it dont let people stand behind. If you brought that up theyre like whatever. But still space for wheelchair. Then they made everyone step back from the barricade. No more room. Felt bad because that first row started falling out to leave first song.
Ty for recording this! Now I know how it would have been like to come in my wheelchair XD!
Wow, the people missing the point completely and saying disabled people are "entitled" for wanting to see the show they paid for. Typical "fuck you, I've got mine" attitude. Let's see how you like it when it happens to you. You might not be disabled, but just wait long enough and one day you will be old and need accomodations too.
Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for the Fanfest organizers to put a priority on this for future events!
ADA should never have been put there. There was a large space in the middle isle where view wouldnt have been obstructed- whoever put ADA in those seats made a serious error. If there was an emergency you wouldnt have been able to get out easily. The middle isle had more than enough space to get out if you needed to…. event staff messed up here for keeping the seats where they were at.
It was hardly any different for short people such as myself. Guess you've never been to a concert before?
You had the option to NOT be in the STANDING crowd. Sit back and watch from one of the several big screens they had.
In Japan, everyone would be sitting.
