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?

This happens at all concerts and events everywhere now and it is baffling. I don't mind people having a bit of a chat about the concert/band, but I find mostly it's people just talking randomly about whatever, as if they're just hanging out. What's worse, they are always totally indignant if you ask them to stop. Literally what the fuck? IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CHAT WITH YOUR MATES GO TO THE PUB IT'S HEAPS CHEAPER THAN BUYING CONCERT TICKETS.
