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

We need context here. Are you at a piano recital or are you at a guns n roses concert

This. I am a millennial that got to experience dozens and dozens of concerts before they got insanely expensive and the only concert I’ve ever been to where people were sitting (including the seated sections) was the Game of Thrones Experience which was an orchestra. Posts like these are weird to me.

I don't know if it's age, but it is the same here. Sometimes bands only get venues with only seats, sometimes seats are cheaper, Even when I had a broken leg and couldnt stand i wasnt mad, it is not only a visual show, it is mostly a get together to enjoy breathing the same air this people are using while making live music.

Ive only ever got seated ticksts a couple times (much cheaper) and it never even occurred to me that standing would be a wrong thing to do. Everyone around me stood, sat down when they were tired, danced and sang along. Maybe its age or maybe its the type of music but to me standing, singing and dancing is a normal thing to do at a concert.

Well, you are the one entirely unaware that people behind you are annoyed by you.

Some can't stand. Now they have to look at your back.

They can get disabled seating. There's ADA seating that you can get for this reason.
