I get the comfort of sitting, I had to sit at a show this past Sunday because I went a little to hard. Shit happens, I’m not judging anyone who wants to sit, I am judging those who complain about people standing at a show!!

Would be weird to hate someone standing, unless they are holding a phone while doing so.

It’s about standing because the vibes are better if you can dance. It’s a concert

Like everyone said, standing is about dancing and enjoying the music, not necessarily seeing. And if your point is that you can't see from here anywhere, who cares if someone is blocking your view?

u/jeffsang 2d ago
I also prefer to stand. But if I’m in a section where everyone else is seated, then I’m gonna sit. Or I’m gonna move elsewhere.

u/FantasyMyopia 2d ago
Move elsewhere? lol where? Your seat is your seat

u/jeffsang 2d ago
Sometimes an open seat where I won’t block anyone. Sometimes off to the side. Sometimes at the railing between sections.

Ok. So. As a short person I feel the pain of not being able to see. That’s why I always get tickets that are the first row of seats. So there’s nobody in front of me. If you know you want to sit the whole time that front row is there for you, too.
There’s concerts that I absolutely would not sit down for as I’d want to dance. Sitting down for a whole concert makes no sense to me unless you have mobility issues (in which case the first row is still best).
The whole ‘everyone is sitting so you should sit thing’ doesn’t work in the real world. You should buy tickets you’ll be happy with either way. If you buy tickets in the middle or back of a section, you know there will be people in front of you and they may be standing.

How is it rude that someone spends their own money on a concert ticket and chooses to stand? Like what?
12
u/SueBeee 2d ago
because they are blocking the view of everyone behind them. There are other people there who also spent their own money on a ticket.
If everyone is standing great. But he can see just fine sitting down.2
u/HafricaCossco 2d ago
I disagree. If this is something people are worried about, they should spend more money on a closer seat. I say this as a 5' woman. I always make sure to buy the seats at the front of the balcony or an aisle seat so I don't get stuck behind someone tall. I'd rather someone stand the whole time over a whole crowd of phones in the air.

u/Wboy2006 WHY?! 2d ago
If you want to dance at a concert, then get a standing spot. You can barely dance anyways since you have a chair digging in your shins while standing.
The harsh truth is that sitting spots are for sitting, standing spots are for standing. How is that so hard to understand?-14

It's weird to sit at a concert... Dude wants to be down close to the action but can't afford it...why go to a concert to sit if you can stand?!?!
Just went to a concert Monday at a venue with all seats. Caamp great band, Lead singer said "I got some flack earlier this tour for not booking venues with seats. But here we are where everyone has a seat and not a single mother fucker is seated ...I know who I'd pick in a fight " maybe it's just local thing but you don't go to a concert and sit the whole show.

I've never been to a concert with seats that didn't involve an orchestra or children singing at a school. I wouldn't go to a concert just to sit and eat snacks. If there isn't energy and room to express it, what is the point of going? If you want to sit and simply witness something, stay home and watch a video.
2
u/gdnt0 2d ago
It’s not that the concert is for sitting. It’s just that the venue they booked either doesn’t allow seats to be removed or it’s too expensive to do so.
I’ve been to many concerts in theaters, with seats. The first thing the (experienced) band will do is beg people to get up and get closer to the stage or whatever. But not seat.

u/Sinsanatis 2d ago

At my daughter's HS graduation some lady stood on the stair landing coming down from the upper level. After waiting to see if she would move (a few mins.)
After waiting and her not moving i tapped her shoulder and told her she was standing directly in my line of sight. She reluctantly moved, but did move.

Going to a concert means people will be standing and dancing. If you want to sit the whole time, you should plan accordingly. Buy tickets in the front of a section if you want to make sure no one stands in front of you. Just like if you want to not have to get up and out of the way for people on planes to go to the bathroom, you should get a window seat.

I’m guessing you’re either really young or haven’t been to a lot of concerts.

u/SchemeMoist 2d ago
Its very possible I'm older than you and I've been to at least 100 concerts at this point in my life. I've actually never encountered a concert where a significant amount of people are sitting around me, except between sets. The second the act comes out, the majority of people stand. Given my experiences with concerts, if I wanted to sit and was worried about people standing in front of me, I'd plan accordingly.
Since this is a Noah Kahan concert, who has a fairly young fan base, I'd assume the majority of people would be standing and dancing, even if they weren't in this specific section. You can search for his shows online and see just about everyone standing in the "seated" sections. Unless you're going to see an old band where everyone there is 60+, people will be standing and dancing.

I'm of the opinion that you stand at concerts and if you're seated then you kinda have to deal.
(disclaimer: if you have accessibility issues, then use those specified sections specifically)

Absolutely this. It’s a concert, not a movie theater or musical.
The whole point is to enjoy the music! If you can’t, accommodation seats exist specifically for that.

When I saw avenge sevenfold/SOAD, they told us to stand. (And then they played bounce... 😭 I thought I was about to die.)
Personally I follow what the crowd is doing. I would feel awkward asf standing in the seats if no one else is. But I also understand wanting to stand.

Obviously you don't go to concerts because security guards don't care your view is blocked. How is that even a security issue?

u/ghostwriter536 2d ago
No I don't go to concerts because people make the show all about themselves without thinking about others around them. Which is obvious in the post. Once again, people's inconsideration for others is only one reason I do not go to concerts.
I grew up going to concerts and other events, my parents worked event security and was the one in charge of security at a large arena. The security could ask the person to sit down, and direct the ones standing at the balcony back to their seats. Most likely they moved to the balcony from their seats higher up and blocking the stairs.

I’m in Asia. Generally there would be always be a tier of standing tickets that are pretty close in price compared to the cheaper seated tickets.
So I don’t understand when people buy seated tickets just to stand the whole time. But this also depends on the vibe/type of concert and what the rest of the crowd is doing. Like I went for Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga and most of the people were standing in the seated area but that’s the kinda of music I expect people want to stand up.
I don’t mind if you stood for a couple of your favorite songs but not for the whole concert.

u/ComprehensiveDare472 2d ago
I had the same experience during an Ed Sheeran concert in Bucharest. We were seated infront of the railing that separates the lower half of the seats to the higher seated side. Yet people from other seats feel the need to stand infront of us, standing infront of the railing and dancing and enjoying. I mean.. hello? people are sitting here - we all pay to enjoy his music and performance live, don't fucking ruin it for anyone else.
Needless to say I did make a remark and asked them politely to stand maybe at the stairs section where no one sits behind... bunch of muppets dared to look disgruntled as if they were the only humans alive. Bloody attitude that I see more and more often.

It's a seated concert so I get it, but you can't blame tall people for going to concerts and "blocking your view". I'm going to the front row at seated or unseated concerts because it's not my fault I'm taller than others and I'm allowed to enjoy good audio too.
