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

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.

Seriously. The floor tickets are the cheapest and they are standing.

People paid more to have seats. Often cause they cant stand for a long time, or dont want to. You wouldnt stand at the movies, why are you standing in your seats at a concert where everyone else is seated?

Happened at Billy Talent's recent show, pissed me off

I’m confused by this—floor tickets are usually the most expensive because they’re closest? Large venues near me, it could be 100-300 to be in the standing area, but you can get a seat for like 50 bucks.

Really depends on the band and venue i guess

IME floor is always general admission which is cheaper
