[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think my general rule is do your best not to be a jerk. If the person behind you physically cannot stand, I would try to sit or stand out of their view if possible. If I’m dancing, I’m not creeping into anybody’s space around me. If I’m the absolute only person standing, ok then I’m going to sit down sheepishly.

But if the people behind me simply don’t feel like standing and plenty of others do, I’m going to shrug and say sorry not sorry. It’s a concert and lots of people want to get into it and move with the music. Their preference does not override mine. It’s the risk you take by going to a concert as a sitter.[/quote]

I agree. I think it's fine to stand, except where the person behind you is physically unable to stand, or maybe a kid who will be unable to see at all.  Maybe also in an outlier situation where you are the only person standing - in that case, it's probably not that type of show, and I think you should bend to overall group preference and sit.

But in most cases, there is a mix of sitting and standing and I think in that case you are allowed to stand even if the people directly behind you/most people in your section have chosen to sit.

Okay, so what if the person in front of YOU wants to put someone on their shoulders for the entire concert, thereby blocking your view?[/quote]I think that’s outside the bounds of this hypothetical of a theater venue. At least I’ve never seen this in a theater. Sounds dangerous! But if you’re talking floor seats of a stadium venue, that’s the risk you take getting floor. I’m short and never choose floor because I probably won’t be able to see. [/quote]
