- Shoving match disrupts opening night of Boston Pops
By Andrew Ryan, Globe Staff
Opening night of the Boston Pops still ended with a standing ovation, despite a shoving matched in a balcony at Symphony Hall that briefly interrupted the performance by conductor Keith Lockhart and musical guest Ben Folds.
"House security and Boston police stopped the fight, and the audience members were escorted out of the hall," according to a statement issued today by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. "The concert resumed and ended with cheers and a standing ovation."
Two men got in an argument at about 7 p.m. that became physical, culminating when one of the men had his button-down shirt ripped open. Television video showed a security guard pulling one man off of the other man.
Both men were ejected from the auditorium, according to a Boston police spokesman. Police did not release the men's names because neither was arrested or charged with crimes. One man was in his 20s and the other was in his 40s. No one was injured and it was not clear if either of the men threw a punch.

Of course, what can you expect from the riffraff who sit in the second balcony?
[tongue firmly planted in cheek, in case there was any question]
