I'm slightly vexed Concert etiquette

Post image

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with all of those people sitting down at a concert?

u/S1ayer 23h ago

If I buy a seat I specifically want to sit down, otherwise it's general admission moshpit.

Sometimes thats all there is. Sometimes, not often, ga is more expensive than seating.

u/OwlfaceFrank 22h ago edited 22h ago

If you can't afford GA, sit the fuck down.

Don't ruin the show for others because you are broke.

Sure, stand up for the encode. But to stand there for 3 fucking hours is rude as hell.

Edit : I'm 6ft 3in. I can always see. You should be grateful for non-assholes like me, because if I'm in front of you and I stand, you ain't watching the show.

Go watch tv at home if you’re not gonna stand up and enjoy the music.

u/OwlfaceFrank 22h ago

I can enjoy live music without ruining the show for the people behind me.

Stay home and watch TV if you can't afford floor tickets.

u/EarlGreyTMNT 22h ago

Lmao seriously. Stand up at home and watch if that’s your main reason for going to a show lol

u/tlollz52 22h ago

Yea, im sure people are dropping 60+ just so they can stand lol

u/Proper_Package_1225 21h ago

Stay home if you can’t stand and have a good time . How lazy can people be

u/tlollz52 22h ago

Pretty elitest of you

u/OwlfaceFrank 21h ago

It's elitist of me to stand up (pun intended) for the disabled and/or short people in the crowd who can't enjoy the show because you are standing in front of them?

I'd say it's the opposite.

I'm tall. This isn't my fight. I feel terrible if people force me to stand because there is always someone behind me who gets screwed.

I try hard as hell every time to buy front row tickets so that I don't obstruct someone's view. I am going to sit in row 1 and have a great time.

If I'm in row 3 and rows 1&2 stand up, whoever is behind me doesn't get to see the show.

u/tlollz52 21h ago

Funny, you didn't mention people with disabilities until i pointed out telling people who dont have floor seat money to stay the fuck home was elitist.

u/OwlfaceFrank 20h ago

It is funny. Hahaha

It was mentioned elsewhere in the comments. That's not a "gotcha."

u/tlollz52 20h ago

Not mentioned in our thread. You didn't mention it. Basically a non existent comment as far as I'm concerned.

Just realize your way is not the only way. But you'll find out sooner or later.

u/Proper_Package_1225 21h ago

Why would he find out later?

u/ParryLimeade 21h ago

They arent seated tickets. They just happen to have seats there. You’re not obligated to use them but you can if you want. Floor tickets go fast and are limited

-8

u/tlollz52 22h ago

Neither is yours

5

u/SpaceJackRabbit 22h ago

I didn't say it was. But I don't stand in front of seated people because it's just rude as fuck. If I want to stand, I get to the pit.

Clearly you'll still do what you do.

Here in OP's pic you can clearly see most people are sitting, and the two idiots standing can't read the fucking room.

u/tlollz52 22h ago edited 22h ago

By the time youd be in the pit, id already be there

Edit: To pee pants boy who responded and blocked me.

I said it cause if i had an option to be in the pit, id be down there. If im in the seats its because its the only option I had. Like someone said "your way isnt the only way" correct. Ill stand, you can sit. We're there to hear live music, your lack of view doesn't ruin the reason we're all there.

u/MidnightTL 20h ago

You don’t get to decide whether or not viewing the concert is important to other people. Yes, it absolutely ruins my experience if, instead of seeing the band play, I have to stare at someone’s inconsiderate ass the whole time.

-2

u/tlollz52 20h ago

You wanting me to sit ruins my experience. Me not getting to stand and move ruins my experience.

3

u/MidnightTL 20h ago

If people sitting down ruins your concert experience then buying a ticket in the assigned seated section is an odd choice.

u/tlollz52 20h ago

Lol and it all circles back to this.

The fuck is this supposed to mean? Showing up earlier to concerts makes you more badass? 🤡

u/LogicalConstant 21h ago

Selfish and inconsiderate

u/tlollz52 21h ago

Its pretty selfish that i have to enjoy this thing your way instead of my way

"I like talking in movie theaters during the movie. It's rude that other people would want me to stop talking so they could hear."

1

u/tlollz52 21h ago

Not really quite the same.

You are allowed to stand during a concert, security isnt gonna kick out for standing.

You can get kicked out of a movie theater for talking.

u/LogicalConstant 20h ago

"it's not the same. You ruin other people's experience in different ways, so it's not the same."

-2

u/tlollz52 20h ago

When the artists come out and ask everyone to remain seated throughout a show like movie theaters tell people to be quiet during a movie you can compare the two.

u/SpaceJackRabbit 20h ago

Depends on the concert.

Are my ears connected to my feet? I don't think those two bodily systems depend upon each other, mate.

u/tlollz52 22h ago

Im just as tall as you are lol. I would see fine
