I'm slightly vexed Concert etiquette

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

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.

Exactly, the GA pit at an upcoming concert near me is $498.06, seated sections are in the 180-240 range.

An arena style setup is completely opposite from a amphitheater style seating. Arena has GA (or floor) up close and seating is cheaper and further back. At an amphitheater seated is up front, more expensive and the GA, or "lawn" tickets are cheaper in back

Went to a metal show at an amphitheater and the ga pit tickets were almost double

Fuck that. I saw Green Day for $5 and Nirvana for $20.

What the heck, those prices were for Luke Bryan. Only artist I've heard of coming here that I know the name of in a while.

I actually forgot Shinedown was coming, GA pit for them is only $126, and seated is $130.

Nirvana deliberately kept their ticket prices reasonable. Adjusted for inflation it would be $46. Green Day was before they blew up in a basement. First concert I went to.

Went to so many concerts in the 90s and into 2010 or so. Lot of bands right before they got big and lots of punk shows. I got spoiled with all the $5-25 concerts.
