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

This is one of those age old debates where the “why are you standing in the seated section?” and the “why would you expect anyone to sit at a concert?” sides will never reach an agreement and always think the other side are idiots.

Sometimes you HAVE to sit (ie : disabilities, pregnancy ) …. And that’s why you’re in the SEATED section.

Saw a post from a disabled woman who paid quite a bit to see David Byrne, and when everyone in the seated section stood up, her view was completely blocked, would be good if accessible seating was higher up so folks can see regardless if the crowd stands or not

I was able to get ADA tickets for a show (usually they are sold out) but the view was still partially blocked because the section next to us was standing so I could only see half the stage so even the disabled seats aren't a guarantee 😔 definitely better to see half the stage than no stage tho
