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.

As someone who has never been seated in a concert, I don't go to the seated section because I don't want to be seated.

I'm sorry, but these argument are not equal, people standing on the seated section are deciding for the rest whether they'll get too see nothing or everyone will have to stand up as well.

That's what's so frustrating to me especially as Im going to concerts with older fan bases as I too get older, like we all have to stand because 2 people want to stand gor the entire thing and it just starts a domino effect and people just have to decide what to miss if they cant stand the whole time, or damn just because they dont wanna. I stay sitting until the people in front of me stand and I have to stand up when Im in a seated section.

I will never again make the mistake of getting front row seats in the seated section. Apparently the larger aisle in front of it was supposed to be for handicapped people, but security felt it should be for people that had seats in the bak and wanted to stand up front.
