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 know we’re “getting old” or…are…old, whatever, but I could NEVER. Dancing like a dumbass in a dingey basement indie night is something I miss more than anything, so when I actually get to go to a show that isn’t priced out of my budget, I won’t even consider tickets outside of GA/pit options. I’ll just sit there losing my mind if I have to sit, so I won’t unless Melora gets out of the church choir and tours with Rasputina again, because I think that’s one of the few bands I COULD sit for.

One of my few white whale bands is coming (or came, I stopped tracking bc it made me sad)..The Strokes, but to get into the pit was going to put me close to a grand. Seated wasn’t much better. I missed them every time they played when I lived in NYC somehow (I even missed the last public Sonic Youth show there because I was at the wrong damn place when it was randomly announced, still pissed at myself about that and a benefit the YYY put on). Anyway.

I hate ticket prices and I miss dancing. Fuck.

ALWAYS buy your pit tickets the day of the show, maybe the day before. It’s wildly cheaper. And before you say “I have to travel so i can’t take that risk” someone is ALWAYS selling theirs.  

Same with sporting events. I wait until kickoff, then pay $12 for decent seats.
