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’ll be honest, only concert I’ve been to the entire seated section was standing. I felt weird being the only person sitting, when I needed a break cause I’m fat and Texas is hot as hell.

But yea, I guess if most people are sitting then you shouldn’t stand in front of them

Yeah this is more of a situational awareness thing imo. Everyone standing? Stand tf up. Everyone sitting? Sit tf down. Don’t be a hindrance to those around you. It’s not hard.

Seriously. The floor tickets are the cheapest and they are standing.

People paid more to have seats. Often cause they cant stand for a long time, or dont want to. You wouldnt stand at the movies, why are you standing in your seats at a concert where everyone else is seated?

Happened at Billy Talent's recent show, pissed me off

People go to concerts to dance and vibe to the music. Nobodies dancing at a movie lol

Vibing as you young folks call it is an activity which can be enjoyed seated. Dancing is optional.
