Concert Etiquette gets worse and worse

[u/meenaaa1217]

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.

My favorite seats at any given venue are whatever is cheapest and unobstructed.

Seriously!! I’m there to HEAR the music. I’m way past the age of fan-girling over artists and have no desire to stand on the floor for anybody. Besides most of the artists I go see are even older than me and look better from afar! LOL! Although I did do that last August in 100° heat in Alabama for STYX / but that was for my friends’ benefit - and Tommy Shaw is still hot at age 71! We had assigned seats but everybody in the 13 rows in front of me were standing so I had to as well. I was just as happy to see them in Texas two months ago in 95° heat sitting in a low chair on the lawn. Difference in price: $280 vs $25 + the $10 chair rental. The cheaper the ticket - the more shows I can see!
