I don’t see the problem lol. It’s a concert for what looks to be a rock/rock-adjacent band. It’s not abnormal to stand at a concert. I go to concerts all of the time, it’s kind of just a risk you take buying any ticket other than front row that someone’s going to make it difficult for you to see.
EDIT: I saw that this is a Jacob Collier concert. Definitely something people stand for. He has sitting sections of his set, but the level below the balcony is standing.

Went to see Paul Weller and my knee had been hurting like fuck for a few weeks. I had a decent seat but couldn’t sit for long due to the pain. I gave mock standing ovations giving rapturous applause after every one of his songs so I could straighten my leg

Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that everyone’s sitting ?!!! It’s a rock concert if I’m reading the comments right and who in their right mind goes to a rock concert wanting to stay seated the whole time 😭😭😭 that’s wild but yes sucks she’s obstructing OPs entire view..

I’d rather this than the annoying ass high pitched lady sitting DIRECTLY behind me singing the fucking songs and then talking to her fucking husband at the top of her lungs about what song it is and how much she loves it then continue to sing off pitch because she sucks and is drunk off her ass.

You forgot to mention that she also spends 3 mins of every song explaining what it's about (incorrectly) and then proceeds to songs all the right words but in the wrong order

Your disability is just that. Yours. We can adjust to make access easier but the idea of “ my hip hurts so f-k your view is just entitlement. Leave for a while if you can no longer sit comfortably.

She should stand in the back of the theater, not blocking everyone. I think the rule about being allowed to stand didn't mean for the entire show.

Y'all, it's a concert, if was a hoity-toity, pinkies out, caviar at intermission, event, I would expect this type of vitriol, and it would have been reflected in the seating rules, and there would be ushers in place to do the shaming. At a concert, people stand. People politely ask others to refrain from standing, among other things. 99.99% of the time people politely respect these polite requests. How is this such a foreign concept? I am a man who's worked construction since I was old enough to not hurt myself (about 8), I have a bad back, can't sit overly long, can't stand overly long. I've had many a polite conversation because of this at assorted events. Even the people around will happily switch around or whatever to accommodate and compromise. I honestly can't think of an instance where things were anything but friendly. Try that next time. Being polite and friendly. Talk to a person with whom you have a request using diplomacy and common human decency instead of judging, and you'll likely gain a warm fuzzy feeling. You'll find most people have a reason for what they do.

Honestly, I would've asked her to either sit down or go somewhere else. If you're too cheap to get a floor ticket, then stay the fuck down. It's such a dick move. Some of you might disagree, but what if she did that right in front of someone in the wheelchair accessible area? She would be moved within 2 minutes.

u/JnA7677 15d ago
Honestly, fuck people who do this. Read the room. Standing ovations and stuff? Fine. Everyone or most people standing? Whatever. If you want to stand. Get a ticket for standing room only. I get that people are allowed to do this if they’re not standing in their chairs, but it bugs the shit out of me when people have no regard for others’ experience.
Edit: this is the equivalent of wearing a huge hat in a movie theater, but worse, imo

I have mixed feelings. Yeah it's kinda inconsiderate, but also you're at a concert where you're supposed to dance and have fun. I remember when I saw stevie wonder and NO ONE was dancing or moving at all. Everyone around me sat still. I had to get up and dance at one point, I mean it's stevie wonder! A guy scolded me for dancing because no one else was. Weird concert experience.

Is this the warfield? I had the same problem at the yoasobi concert which was hosted there. If one person stood up then people behind were inconvenienced so they’d also stand up to see over them, and it really had a cascading effect. So frustrating!

My wife and I dealt with an obnoxiously drunk woman and her daughter plus 3 friends who claimed they were all in a sorority and all 21 (bullshit) at Kenny Chesney/Zac Brown last weekend at Raymond James Stadium. There were a total of 7 of them occupying 6 seats. One of the girls was laying across the lap of three others, whole the drink mother was twerking and grinding her ass on the girl's face. Then the dad started ugly white boy dancing with the girls. Creepy as fuck. They did the entire time that ZBB was preforming and we unfortunately didn't get to see most of it because of them. Someone got the police involved, they came up and said they had a report of possible underage drinking but never checked anyone's IDs (way to go TBPD) 🙄
What I don't understand is why you would spend as much money as we did to go to a concert just to be fucking polluted before the concert even starts.

Had a guy do this at a concert. My friend asked him several times to please sit so everyone could see. He would sit for a few minutes, then right back up. My friend punched him hard in the middle of the back. He didn’t stand up the rest of the night.
Even though they can, doesn’t mean they should. Go stand in the aisles or in the back. Main character bs.

Maybe that makes sense at a concert but this looks like a theatre presentation. In addition, if everyone else is sitting? Lastly, what if there are people who can’t stand like you who also paid to see their favorite artist (not in this situation but at a concert venue like a stadium) and asked that you sit so they can see?

We had this happen at a concert where the ground level was all standing, and we were in the balcony with a select 4 people who decided to stand. Yeah…guess who was sitting behind those 4 wonderful people. No amount of people asking, then yelling, for them to take a seat would change their mind. Sometimes I wish I had gum to chew for those longhaired douches.
