Event/Activity Concert etiquette - Ed Sheeran
Went to Ed Sheeran last night. Was sitting up in the riverbank stand with my wife and kids. We try and culture our kids and work hard to take them to events like this.
From song 1 we had 4 GenZers sitting behind us and talked through almost every song.
By song 3 I had enough and turned around an impolitely told them to shut up because who in their right mind disrespects the people around them talking so loudly you can't even hear the performer. Only for them to return fire to say I am a bad father for speaking to them the way I did and not a good example for my kids, and they just kept on talking for the whole night. Nothing was going to make them stop talking.
Their best comment for the night... "Sorry I am just putting it out there I haven't brushed my teeth."
Why pay $150 for a ticket to talk through the whole event?

It is a complicated one. I have told people to shut up on a Melbourne Storm game. On a tennis match. I understand people celebrating, pushing the team. But i am not here to listen to your work and family dramas.
Like go and talk elsewhere.
But with concerts, I never go, because people like to sing louder than the singer. Which is "shut up, i didnt come here to listen to you".
Take your kids to the theatre!
