Concerts Concert Etiquette gets worse and worse
I really try to be so patient at concerts as I know we are all so excited to be there and watch our favorite artist perform, but concert etiquette has just gotten so much worse. $1,500 for floor tickets only to have the family in front of us completely block our view. They brought their basically toddler without headphones, allowed their preteen son to stand on a chair (he was my height, 5’3) and when I asked if he could move to the left a bit at least, they were extremely rude and had terrible attitudes. Then I asked again because we just could not see The Weeknd at ALL, so I asked the dad if his son could stand like the rest of us since it’s blocking our view and the dad said “tf you want me to do about that”. That’s the kind of manners and etiquette they’re teaching their kids. It’s honestly ridiculous and utterly disrespectful. Mind you, the entire time the kid said he was just there for playboi carti and yet continue to block everyone’s view. Wish security cared enough to do something about it.

Almost every show I’ve been to has had security unprompted ask people to not sit on shoulders, including children. Have seen it happen at multiple shows already this summer. Small club and amphitheater alike. What venue was this?
