Seen a few shows at MSG, you are in for a treat! I guess what I was getting at is how do you handle a situation where everyone is standing, but shyster is behind you dodinting about you standing. At the end of the day, I think I worry about other people too much, but it was the first time in 200+ concerts that I've been in that situationcount2infinity wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 3:49 pm I had lawn seats for a concert this past summer... We brough a blanket and sat through the openers and stood for the main event. So did pretty much everyone else.
I think I'm going with a buddy to MSG for a concert in the spring. I dunno what that will look like, but I'll go with what everyone else does.

And to noceras point, the floor was covered with seats, I didn't see anyone sitting.

At the outdoor show, I knew I would want to stand for parts, so I put my blanket right in front of a tree. I'm a tall dude, and I too worry too much about what other people think, so it was perfect. I could stand and no one would be dodinting about me blocking them.

It seems like more and more venues are doing away with general admission and putting seats on the floor. Obviously helps with crowd control and hopefully prevents something like Astroworld or Roskilde from happening.

Yes, I expect all of them to sit. That's why we pay for a seat and not like a square yard of floor space. Sit your butts down.nocera wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 3:51 pm Bad take. The entire pavilion at Starlake has seats so only the pit and lawn are allowed to stand? The Blink182 floor at PPG was seats, you really expect people to sit? The entire T Swift floor layout for the Eras tour was seats and those people paid a ton of money. I doubt any of them sat. It depends on the act and the crowd, not the venue.

If you'd like to sit and be completely unobstructed, buy front row. Or you could sit and not see anything. You still have the option to sit.

That's what I was getting at, nobody is saying you can't sit, but when 10,000 people in front of you are standing, you can't really be mad at the one person in front of you for standing as well.

And you all have the option to not be a bunch of rude jagoffs and sit your butts down.
I'm glad that I mostly attend concerts where this isn't an issue. Like when I saw George Thorogood a couple months ago, the vast majority of the crowd was my age or older. No way we're standing up for a whole show.

The concerts/shows that I've attended where there was fixed seating people sat in their seats. That's not to say that people didn't stand at certain points but in general people sat down from Black Sabbath to Motley Crew to the Residents to Zappa to Tom Waits to King Crimson.

And you can't blame people standing because the people in front of them are standing. Find the row where the standing started and yell at them.

I'm seeing Tyler Childers in June at the pavilion. I am in the covered seating area. I will probably stand.

Ha, no I just saw they were opening for a concert next year I was going to and never heard of them.
On a side note, has anyone ever seen fallout boy live?

Yes. This summer I did. That was the outdoor event I went to and what I’m planning to see at MSG.

Ha, I saw him a long time ago in concert, George struck me as the guy who has the same setlist for every show

Good show? My daughter wants to see them and I'll probably be the dad who attends with them if we can still get tixcount2infinity wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 6:23 pm Yes. This summer I did. That was the outdoor event I went to and what I’m planning to see at MSG.

It was a really nice show. Royal and the serpent was one of the openers and then bring me the horizon, who were incredible.
The show was a great mix of old and new from FOB. Part of the tour was a unique rarely played song at each show. We got 27, which is one of my favorites from them so that was cool.
Jimmy Eat World is playing with them for this leg of the tour so that’s even better.

I get them and Goose confused, so I assume they're mediocre
