I recently learned that phones are being locked up at some concerts. In this instance they use a facility provided by a company called Yondr. The phones are locked into a small case when you enter the venue. When you leave you tap an unlocking base. One person made a point that in case of emergency, you might need to use your phone. Do you think this is a good idea?
I think it's good. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteNope. Sounds like the promoters are more interested in making sure the concert doesn't get bootlegged than they are with safety of attendees. If they asked for my cellphone, I'd ask for my money back, turn around and go home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your view!
DeleteNot a good idea to take/lock phones. I understand why they wish to do it. A phone ringing during a performance can be distracting. Especially in a theatre when a play is on.
ReplyDeleteSome venues have an electronic device that blocks all phones within a confined area. So in a theatre your phone will not ring in and you cannot make a phone call out.
God bless.
This sounds like a better solution thanks Victor.
DeleteIn this day and age not really. I am sad that I feel that way. A reminder to turn cell phones off is always given, but I suppose there is always one in the crowd :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about this. But I do think people should just shut off their phones and enjoy the performance.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have an opinion on this, I never go to concerts ,, crowds and I do not mix lol,, so not sure how I feel, we got along without cell phones for many years, a few hours shouldn't be a problem but I would need to know what their reasoning is to take my phone.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. I don't have a phone. I do not attend concerts anymore. In an emergency, I'd rather just run anyway!
ReplyDeleteI understand the rational, but I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteGood idea as there are often people without manners not turning off their phones!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd want to surrender my phone; especially if someone in my family needed me. They would have been told before I went to the venue, and wouldn't call unless it was an emergency.

No it is not a good idea. Why not just an oral reminder at the start of the concert to turn off your phone?
ReplyDeleteIt's quite nice idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhy can't people just turn off their phones/have them on silent for shows etc.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
No.
ReplyDeletenope wouldnt do it, i have my phone with me almost all the time in case i fall or have a MS relapse which can happen out of the blue and need help so would not give it up.
