I\'m calling to all music lovers who have been to or are yet to experience a music gig at The Arena Entertainment Complex, Brisbane. As most people would know The Arena has now been made 18+ because of shows \'going out of control\' and I believe that this is wrong. The Arena has been a vital and historical place in the Entertainment Industry for years and under 18\'s should not be punished for someone else\'s \'rowdiness\'. I believe that everyone who goes to a gig, whether or not it be a soft band or a hardcore gig should know what they will be in for if the moshpit gets violent. I acknowledge that the main factor in the age restriction is probably for safety reasons but still who\'s to say that under 18\'s can\'t enjoy live music Who\'s to say that making The Arena 18+ is going to do any good in the long run I call to those to sign this petition: under 18\'s, over 18\'s, practically anybody who believes that everyone has a right to enjoy live music.

The management at The Arena thinks they can just shut out the entire under 18 community and face no heat for it. They are dead wrong because this momentum proves the city is fed up with their lazy excuses and gatekeeping tactics.
