Even artists hate when you pull that shit. But by no means is it alright for you to have your intrusive phone up in the air recording entire songs or taking dozens of photos just for that near perfect Instagram photo. Or maybe you want to Instagram a 15-second video clip of your favorite song - right on, go for it. I understand that you want to snap a few photos, and that’s totally fine. Amateur Videographer / Photographer - Please, please, please - put your damn phone down and enjoy the LIVE show experience. Leave the “big ass Stevie Nicks gypsy hat” for when you’re trying to block the sun, and not a fellow concert-goer.ĥ. Not only are people bumping into your hat, but you’re blocking the views of so many people. Don’t get me wrong, some hats are okay, but if your hat takes up more space than your body, it’s totally not okay. You want to be fashionable and trendy, but wearing a large brimmed hat to a concert is just silly. If you want “personal space,” go pay for VIP or premium seating.Ĥ. It’s an asinine concept to go to a concert and be offended that people are crowding you. I most certainly did not put up with their bull shit. I recently had an awful experience with two females that were bullying anyone that tried to get in on the ample space around them. Sure, it’s okay to not want to have someone breathe their halitosis down your neck (if the concert allows for the room) however, it’s not okay to take up a radius of space where at least five more people can comfortably squeeze into. Demanding “Personal Space” - On the contrary to #2, people who demand personal space at a concert are just as lame as the grinders. When there is plenty of room around you and some sweaty dude is bumpin’ his uglies on your booty, that is just to cool.ģ. Yes, we’re aware that concerts can be a very tight squeeze however, there are a lot of creeps that do this on purpose. In most cases it’s men getting way too close to women. Grinders - We’re not talking about the dating app here, we’re talking about people that purposely rub up on those in front of them. In the words of Run DMC, “you talk too much, you never shut up.”Ģ. Save the conversation for a quiet dinner, the rest of us are trying to enjoy the performance and not hear about who yet met on Tinder. Incessant Talking - Not only is it totally disrespectful to the artist/band performing on stage right before your eyes, but it’s absolutely annoying and rude to those around you. With that said, a little concert etiquette can go a long way.įor all the selfish jerks out there ruining concert experiences across the globe, take heed:ġ. While some people say you should just ignore these outside annoyances or move to another spot, it’s not always that convenient and easy to do. It just comes with the territory of hitting shows multiple times a week.Ī concert should be a moving and blissful experience, but sometimes you just want to punch that chatty Cathy in the throat or tell the girl next to you with her massive purse to check in her bag or leave it at home. If you’re an avid show-goer and have been attending concerts for many years, at least a handful of these things have happened to you. I’ve had it all happen to me at show: I’ve had beer spilled on me, I’ve been painfully stepped on (with a heel), I’ve been thrown up on (yes, that really happened, not once, but twice) and I’ve even gotten into a scuffle or two. While catching your favorite band at a live concert can be an incredible experience, it can also (unfortunately) become an annoying and uncomfortable experience due to the fact that some people just have no concert etiquette.
