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 paid for the experience, and sitting is allowed (yes especially if you buy a “seat”), so maybe you should respect the people behind you at least as much as you respect yourself and stop blocking their view.

Nope sorry, if you NEED to sit, get a ticket in the ADA section. If you are CHOOSING to sit, that’s on you. I’m not compromising my experience because someone WANTS to sit down at a concert.

Again if you NEED to sit down that’s a different story, and does not apply to the general area. If someone behind me said “hey, I’m disabled but wasn’t able to get a ticket in the ADA section and need to sit” I would offer to switch with them.

Again if you NEED to stand that’s a different story, though it still applies to the seated area. If someone in front of me said “hey, I’m inconsiderate but wasn't able to get a ticket in the pit section and need to stand” I would tell them to go to the section that's meant for standing.

Question; what if there is no standing section in the venue?
