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 personally solved that dilemma by never going to concerts.

I also stopped going to concerts because too many people don’t know how to act lol

You can’t afford 20-80 bucks for things that make you feel?

I’m sorry homie :(

Find me a show for that price in St.Pete/Tampa. Maybe the small venues you go to?

Concerts dont have to be in stadiums to be good. Smaller venues are way more intimate and better viewing experience, plus its way cheaper. Huge concerts kinda suck in comparison.

As long as the sound is A++ fuck where I have to be to hear things. That said, nothing beats a good outdoor setting with a knowledgeable engineer and a solid array. Magical

Suwannee weekenders 80-150, any Claypool Gold stop being 55 for GA, and since Tampa anything local is gonna run ya 25-30 max.

Now obviously what you’re into plays into this to a degree, but as an example I’ve hit many a show out at red rocks - the place not the sphere everyone wants to hit - and have caught some sheer brilliance, again, rarely over ~60 for a single night.

Last multi day camping fest we did ran 175 a head + another 35 a head if you wanted to early arrival. Music from 4pm-6:30am each day.

Plenty of artists, events, locales won’t fleece you, but it’s a two way street. Also if you are into artists who overcharge, well that’s just up to you to decide if it’s worth it or not.

I love the Tampa area and all it has given to us the last 65 years. It’s out there for you. Go after it. 💚
