Possibly not the right place to ask but it's a start. I've been a regular Green Man goer for several years but we failed to get tickets this year. A few people have suggested End of the Road as a good alternative. Any thoughts or views? -
Providing clear channels of reporting harassment, encouraging to do so and having staff trained and alert to potentially problematic events is one thing. Arbitrarily targeting a certain demographic with stricter security measures while also setting criteria for attending a gig is another thing. Surely we can agree that one is very much welcome and the other is unacceptable? -

Labour conference was all tense with worries about tough decisions and spending cuts and whether the state can deliver and public trust and Gaza etc etc...and the Tory conference they're all party party and champers and batshit nonsense. -

The whole "name a song" thing is stupid anyway. If someone has bothered to purchase a 30 quid ticket, for a tour that sold out near enough instantly, then it's safe to assume that they want to see the band. Being a fan of the band doesn't preclude someone from being a creepy f**ker, just as it doesn't implicate them. It'd be much more effective to simply have a few plain clothes security dotted around the place keeping eyes well open for anything amiss (and if necessary, they can stand next to anyone suspicious to keep a closer watch while still blending in to the crowd). To be kinda blunt and cynical about it - if someone really is going out with a primary focus to be a creepy f**ker that has no interest in the band (and yeah, those people do exist), then there's other places that I have to think they'd head to first. Any town of a decent size will have bars and clubs that I'd avoid like the plague but that teenage girls (and therefore creepy older blokes) will flock to, and that will have alcohol (and consequently, bad judgement) flowing far more freely than you'd see at a gig from an indieish band. Unfortunately that's especially true at this time of year, with Unis back and all the 18 year olds away from home for the first time trying to check out all the free entry / cheap drinks offers that these places use to entice people in.
