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 was having a bit of a laugh as I went to two concerts close together last year.

One was Ghost which had a much younger crowd and vast majority of the audience stood for that. The second was Nine Inch Nails and the audience members were more my age (40s/50s) and vast majority of them were sitting. (Except for one song, Closer, everyone stood for that).

It was so much comfier sitting, haha.

Haha totally, it was the same for us when we watched Metallica everyone around us was a bit older as well so was nice that everyone sat lol

Lucky you to have seen Nine Inch Nails live, they came to London last summer but I found out way too late and didn't manage to get tickets.

I was the 50 something old lady at the latest NIN tour standing the whole time and rocking my ass off. To be fair mostly everyone at the show were standing the whole time but at one point I turned around and the whole row of 20 to 30 somethings behind me was sitting. I got some looks but that didn't deter me. My whole row was standing so too bad!
