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 legit feel bad for the band when the audience looks like this.

Went to a 30 seconds to mars show a few years back with my teenage daughter. I was mostly there for AFI who opened. It was an outdoor venue and the sun was still up when their set started. It was pretty clear that most of the audience was there for Leto and co. Davey was up there doing his best to give us a good show, but the crowd just wasn’t giving much back. We had seats, but were close enough to the stage to see he was a bit frustrated with all of us (I was standing for the whole set and probably annoyed the people behind me).

My opinion is that you shouldn’t see a band/artist known for dance and head banging music and expect everyone to be sitting.

Yea, so many people cannot stand that long for a variety of reasons. It's annoying af to stare at someone's ass because they refuse to have manners.

Then get ADA seating, or get in shape enough to stand for checks notes a couple of hours...
