HOLY SHIT -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:46
Do people actually sit in their seats during these concerts? -- nm - Max Feb 4, 08:29 12
- I am always up and around, and rarely sit in my sit when I'm by myself -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:48
- at the guns show Spawn and I went to in 2018 it was standing room just about the whole time. -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:57
- For $3500, you can damn well bet I'll be at my seat and no one else will fuckin be there. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:33 8
  - Oh. I hadn't even thought the question on that basis. Same. If I've paid a seat, I'll be there. Though annoyingly, some of the best seats go to - JD Feb 4, 08:43 7
    - I was thinking more in terms of % of the concert spent seated vs standing. -- nm - Max Feb 4, 08:50 4
      - Ah. Depends on the venue. Everything from 100% standing for small venues to 10-15%? seats for a converted theater that is primarily GA with a seated - JD Feb 4, 09:00
      - Oh, gotcha. I'm at the point now where the bands I see have crowds that skew older - almost everyone in seats most of the time. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:52 2
        
        They don’t want to fall and break a hip. -- nm - spamlet Feb 4, 08:54 1
        
        Damn right. I like the Beach Boys, but they ain't worth a trip to the ER. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:56
    - I was just thinking that if people aren't sitting in their actual ticketed seats and trying to get near my $3500 paying ass - - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:49
    - The Mix Islands seem to be parties unto themselves. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 08:44
- Not typically but there can be an advantage to having a certain area of the venue reserved for you vs the tradeoff of being closer but having to live - JD Feb 4, 08:32
That's fucking insane and why I don't do many concerts anymore. I sat 3nd row center for the GnR riot way back - ticket price was $28.50. -- (edited) - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:23 2
- It's because bands used to make money other ways then. Now it's only from the road, so they have to maximize revenue. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 4, 08:24 1
  - and an act like Guns and Roses has large pool of potential buyers who barely go to any shows and have lots of disposable income - JD Feb 4, 08:26
and they're not even on sale yet. Fan club went onsale today -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:19 3
- The ability to sell tickets (or anything) you do not have in hand should be illegal. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 08:24
- $150 for straight across, far-end balcony. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 08:22 1
  - oh I expect them to be insane. This show is going to be a homecoming show... -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:38
