Lets take a poll

when you go to a concert or a show of any kind
in whatever size venue

do you like to stand for the whole thing or use the seat you paid 60$ for?

i just dont get it
where we were last night
standing was really not recomended because of the pitch in the theater

but someone always has to stand up like a jackass and make everybody else do the same thats behind them...

yeah mrs zap and myself got to stand AGAIN all friggin night

what is your vote?

stand or sit?

(your not any closer by standing)

...zap!

 

Unless you're in a mosh pit sit your *** down.

 

Sit!

 

any concert at the House of Blues in New Orleans stand (no place to sit)
concert at UNO lakefront arena sit

 

when you're old with a bad back and bad knees you want to SIT!!!

If you're in an arena or some sort of area by chairs, you sit, unless you're on the floor or in a pit.

I hate rude people! Your situation is where flying beer bottles come in handy

 

Mostly sit, but it depends on the song. May want to get up and shake my tail a little. But I don't do that unless the people behind me are standing.

 

Depends on the concert/environment.

Went to a Pearl Jam show in October '04, and stood the whole time, no problem because everyone was.

Went to Alison Krauss in December '05, and sat the whole time, because everyone else did.

The show really dictates the sit/stand mentality to me. Most shows I've been to had a good mix of sitting/standing. Some songs you just have to stand and boogie down, other songs are mellow and sitting is quite nice to enjoy the music.

Cliffs: Do what you want, but be courteous to those around you.

 

I always go to concerts at the Grizzly Rose....a large bar in Denver. Sure there are seats but I prefer to stand next to the stage. Major acts run $30.

Rarely, when I pay $60 for a large venue to see a legend; I sit most the time but stand lots too...sometime it depends on how close you're sitting and how much fun people around you are having.

 

Some guy tried that with my girlfriend last time we went to a show at the Pepsi center....she about ripped his head off.

 

The last two shows I've been too: Deftones - Stand (no place to sit), Tool - Sit (front row on balcony). I prefer to sit when I can, especially since I have good aim w/ a beer bottle .

 

Why didn't you?

Don't ever let someone disrespect your lady in front of you.

 

If I paid for a concert and it didn't move me enough to atleast stand up, I'd be dissapointed and want my money back. If I sit down for 15mins I'll likely go to sleep. Don't matter how loud it is, I can sleep right thru it if I get half way comfortable. Plus now with my RLS (restless leg syndrome), sitting for more than 30 mins in similar position (AKA a confined space with limited position options) is very, very, very, very uncomfortable and displeasing. It's a killer on road trips and I love road trips.

But I have never appreciated chair seating, I prefer festival seating anyday!
Jump up, jump around, throw your finger in the air like you just don't care!

I'm there for the atmosphere and the music. A symphony is not my style.

 

Sit, for sure...I hate those who stand the whole time.

 

I don't go to concerts but if I did I would definitely prefer to sit. And I'd have no problem telling the idiot in front of me to sit their *** down too, I guess I'm just rude like that!
