The term 'Queue Nazi' originated in a mega drama thread on FD around the time of the Lifeblood tour (seen as that's when it was all going on), so Midlands_Junk didn't just make that up himself now.

Some people pushed in front of me at the Manchester gig on the SATT tour and I told them how selfish they were as we'd been there about 2 hours by that point, but I don't think they were FD people and I've never seen them at a Manics gig since. I do remember on the way into the venue one of the culprits knocked into me, was about to apologise until she realised it was me and said "Oh look it's the whinging girl" or something and she made no effort to get to the front. I ended up at the barrier as she was still stood laughing with her friends near the entrance, so it was the most pointless queue jumping ever

Haven't witnessed any queue drama since then, it's usually the same people there early anyway and then hardly anyone else shows up until about an hour before doors.

Yes, hence why I was saying it was something on FD ages ago and not a term coined just now.

You get queue cards at Wimbledon when you camp overnight (think I was number 70 or thereabouts), but still have to remain in the queue It was all good fun though.

When I went to see U2 at Wembley, there was a queue numbering system then, which was for the first so many people/early queuers.
