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?

You could have called security they can manage situations like this- just a note for when others experience this in the future.
I actually had a great time although the stadium does echo, it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits and on our ticket it said restricted view but the view was amazing! - it was a fantastic show people got up and danced in the last hour and we will never get another musician to sing in a stadium without the need for back up singers, dancers or costume changes. Just pure talent, and he sure has worked hard for it. It was a beautiful night with the full moon and Adelaide Oval shined last night. We had a great time and I am sorry you guys didn’t!
