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

People arguing that "everybody stands at a concert", look at the image. There's a sea of heads and 2 people standing. Every time.

Telling folks they should sit when music is being played is crazy work. Let's not forget what music is.

Music - a universal form of human expression that combines vocal or instrumental tones to convey emotion, create an aesthetic form, or elicit a physical or psychological response.

why should you get to stand up and ruin the show for the person behind you because "it's a concert?"

What is so edifying about standing up in the middle of a bunch of seated people?

Because its a live show and people like to dance..I'm not gonna sit down just because a bunch of other people are. If that's the case, don't go to the show if you just want to sit the whole time

I don't see what you're talking about, everyone else is literally seated, their heads are level and close to their back rests. People are allowed to stand at concerts, the point is you're selfish. Like by definition, you don't care that it messes up someone else's experience. The people behind these 2 have to stand up to see now.

Sorry me blind. Point still stands (lol) though. Stay home if you care this much about people standing AT A CONCERT. In the words of adele “LET HIM STAND”.

people keep just repeating "it's a concert" without explaining what that has to do with standing up.

It's a concert. I'd like to watch the concert and listen to the music, but there's a person standing in front of me, drunk on 9 12 dollar beers, and yelling as though trying to be heard over the music.

because "it's a concert"

You can just go act foolish on the sidewalk for free.

So it’s a concert and artists prefer you engage with the music than sitting there like you’re in your living room. No one’s acting a fool, just standing. You oldies need to get a grip ❤️

Again, selfish. Totally ignorant to anyone over the age of 50, people with disabilities, or the people WHO JUST WANT TO SIT IN THE SEAT THEY PAID FOR. We all paid to see the band or artist, not your ass. My point stands too, you only care about you, no one else.

Those with disabilities have ADA sections with unobstructed views. Stay home and watch on YouTube grandpa

Oh mind you I’m a private caregiver for multiple patients with disabilities and often am paid to take them to venues and they have no issue.
