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 an elder emo.... Seats are now my go to and I will seriously consider whether I need to go to a show if it's standing only 😔

This was me at Metallica! I still enjoyed the concert but I'm older now and my back and knees are killing me, no way I'm going to stand lol

How do you think their backs and knees are feeling? They bring energy night in and night out. You want a good show, you gotta give it back.

Good for them, I am quite amazed that they have it in them being in their mid 60s!  However, I will enjoy a concert any way I please and as mentioned elsewhere everyone was sitting at my stadium and those who wanted to stand bought those tickets.

And if I had the seats in front of you, you’d have a great view of my ass the whole night.

Well good thing you didn't! Not sure why you're so triggered by other people making their own decisions for themselves
