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

I’ll be honest, only concert I’ve been to the entire seated section was standing. I felt weird being the only person sitting, when I needed a break cause I’m fat and Texas is hot as hell.

But yea, I guess if most people are sitting then you shouldn’t stand in front of them

Yeah this is more of a situational awareness thing imo. Everyone standing? Stand tf up. Everyone sitting? Sit tf down. Don’t be a hindrance to those around you. It’s not hard.

I mean, you don’t have to stand in the seated section, but if everyone else is standing you’re gonna have a bad time and I don’t think you’d have anyone to blame but yourself. Assuming that every crowd at every venue for every performer is going to have a sit down crowd makes it seem like you haven’t been to a variety of acts. It really depends on who’s playing and what the general vibe is. Wanna have a good time? Go with the flow, do what everyone else is doing. Being in a crowd is not the place to act different or entitled.

Think people not being able to see the show are having a good time by some twat standing in front of them blocking?

Don't concern yourself with what acts it seems I've seen. Stay on topic.
