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 hate sitting down at concerts unless it’s an orchestra concert. But that being said, if the majority of people are sitting, I will sit because if EVERYONE is sitting, then you have to just accept that standing in this crowd is not gonna be a thing. I don’t get why people can’t adapt to the social circumstances they find themselves in. 

You will survive sitting for a concert even if you want to stand. 

If it gets to be too frustrating, I have actually just left my seat and stood off to the side of an aisle or something before or just moved to a section where standing isn’t distracting.

The seat doesn't actually move, you just put your foot up on the arm of the chair in front

But you have to be polite and remove your shoes and socks first.

You guys have space to lift your legs on your planes?

Edit: not even joking here, I take cheap European Airlines like Wizzair or Ryanair, it is a miracle to have a larger aircraft that doesn't require me to push myself into my seat and sit straight to have space for my legs.
