I’ve been to 6 concerts this year. You don’t have to be part of the insane rail crowd. I’ve done a mix: one stadium, one arena, 2 midsize places, 2 downright small places. I don’t do GA when it’s in the big places, I take a seat. But, everywhere else, I’ve never smelled a floor shit. People aren’t ridiculous at my shows, but maybe that’s just the crowd being different. I usually have no interest in the current mainstream headliners, so maybe that’s why I’m missing out. But, at each, I get to be the boring crossed arm guy swaying on the back rail. I usually slide up for a song or two for the view before sinking back.
But still, they can be expensive. I have a limit. I’ve caught a couple deals buying resale the same day as the show. I get it if that’s the ultimate deciding factor. But if you enjoy the music and the artist performs well live, I’d recommend at least trying a show before assuming everyone shits on the floor.
I haven’t been to that many, but I’ve been to a few smaller concerts in the last couple years, and they were great experiences with the crowd. And these are heavy metal shows. Many years ago, someone spilled beer on me at one of those shows, and while I was annoyed, I was also glad that they hadn’t spilled it on the cast that was on my left arm. They apologized.
I saw a woman carrying a baby (with ear protection for the baby) at the most recent concert I saw. No idea if she was a huge fan of one of the bands or possibly the spouse of one of the band members.
