the band requested that our barricade crew stay away from the middle of the stagefront. we had to come in from the sides to catch anyone that surfed. for safety reasons, we decided that we would tell people not to surf again in an attempt to limit the number of times we had to move in. it worked.
crowd surfing is allowed unless the band requests otherwise, for now. i've been trying for years to get that policy changed, but it hasn't happened yet. even when it is allowed, we reserve the right to tell any or all patrons that they are not allowed to surf, and surfing at inappropriate times or in an unsafe manner may result in removal from the main floor or ejection from the club.
