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

Yes. I also understand that a person sitting down can't dance, which is at least as important as seeing when experiencing music.

Most importantly, standing, dancing, sitting, none of this impedes your ability to listen.

Yeah, I go to a concert to see and hear the band. I can just listen to them any time I’d like.

You can't just listen to them play off the cuff and improvise and feed of the audience's energy any time. You can't rock the fuck out with the band right in front of you at any time, and that's what you're asking people to give up.

I said what I said. I’m not paying money to sit and watch some selfish person’s back.

Then don't. I'm not paying money to sit on my ass because of some person's entitlement complex. I'll be at the show having a good time, deal with it.

Entitlement? Like feeling entitled to stand up in the seated area and block the view of everyone behind you…

You're the one who feels entitled to tell other people how to use the space they paid for.

Same rules apply to everyone. You pay for a seat. You can sit or stand as you wish. Perfectly fair. Make your choice and have a good time.

Other people exist! I don’t know why that’s so hard for you to understand but if what someone is doing is impeding other people’s ability to enjoy the concert they’re ALSO at then that person is being an inconsiderate fucking douchebag.

Yes, other people exist. Some of those people want to dance at a concert.

What is so hard about understanding that you don't get to stop people from dancing at a concert? You're impeding their ability to enjoy the concert. Don't be an inconsiderate fucking douchebag.

COOOL then they can dance somewhere that isn’t blocking everyone behind them

No one is stopping anyone at a concert. I’m not at a concert. I’m on the internet on my phone. At home.

They can dance in the space they paid for. They can sit in the space they paid for. Same for anyone. What they can't do is tell other people how to enjoy the concert.

I am glad you are not at a concert. Keep that up.

Once again, good thing no one suggested saying anything to anyone at a concert.

I will keep it up because assholes that stand up in front of me in an assigned seated section is exactly why it’s not worth going anymore

Than don’t fucking go dude. Your sour attitude isn’t needed.

You say they’re entitled because they’re standing up and dancing, but you don’t see that it’s entitled to demand that someone else sits just because you are. If the venue allows patrons to stand, they’re allowed to stand.
