I agree, it's lame that they seem to have these pointless and ridiculous policies about what can go in and out of massives, and that security are a bunch of testosteronehead rentacops that feel the need to assert their authoratay just because they can. It's one of the main reasons I refuse to go to massives anymore, and why I haven't been to one since iMix 2.
But trust me. No rights of yours are being violated. You lose simply because you wanted to be in the party. They told you straight out, and you admitted it.... they offered to let you keep them but you weren't allowed in the party and they weren't going to make any concessions as to the entrance policy for you just because you want your glowsticks. Sorry, buddy. But that's how things work.
So now you say next time you'll kick up a fuss. Well, you know what? When you're dealing with legal parties, sometimes there's things even security can't control. Why? Because these parties have to jump through a stupid amount of hoops to be allowed to occur. Honestly, you wanna kick up a stink, all you're going to do is get the promoters away from something that they're doing that's probably a LOT more important to the flow of the show than some e-tarded kid who wants his fucking glowsticks.
As much as you might like to believe it, you're one of 3,000+ people. And honestly, the guys up top really couldn't care that much less. It's just some fucking glowsticks. You said so yourself they only cost you $10. What about the kids that keep getting their athsma puffers confiscated, or their insulin needles.
Seriously man. You're putting up a lot of shit over something really fucking inconsequential. It's not like glowsticks are anything new or different at a rave anyways. And it's an indoor party, for fuck's sake. You're probably just gonna put them between your fingers and wave them around, maybe find someone so high that a fucking fingernail is interesting to them and wave them in front of their face. Big fucking deal. There's more to raves than glowsticks, bub.
I like having a glowstick at a rave, but more often than not it's to flag my bag or have some spare light when I wanna go rifling through it looking for warmth/food/entertainment..... Or maybe give to a candykid and get a hug out of it.... But at any rate, even then I only need one, and those cost about $2 at Canadian Tire each (buy 'em in packs of 2). So I'm not out much if they confiscate them at the door.
You're still fairly new, though you seem to have already gone through the sick-of-the-scene phase and now apparently you're back. But christ almighty. Stuff confiscated at massives is one of the oldest bitches in the book. You going around demanding apologies from these promoters who already sacrifice a shitload (and for those who think the massive promoters don't, you're fucking wrong and a half) over security bullshit is pretty bloody childish if you ask me.

exactly glowsticks are nothing new and different at a rave...its the norm when u go to a rave u explect to see buch of people with glowsticks...
