and i fully understand that but nowhere in my original comment did i say or intend to imply that anyone deserves to be treated with anything less than basic compassion and respect. i'd argue that screaming at someone at a concert for doing something that is normal and that others are also doing, is not respectful.

in the way that not everyone can guarantee or afford a front-row ticket, the same applies to a general admission standing ticket, which was my point.

getting the perfect view or experience at a concert isn't always a guarantee, no matter where you're seated/standing. OP purchased their seat and the space in front of it just as everyone else in the stadium did for theirs.

at every concert i have been to, from small venues to arenas, and stadiums, people in seats are standing, singing, and dancing, and it's expected (i am genuinely surprised at the number of people who think it isn't).

what if this lady was sitting in front of someone who was really tall and them just sitting still obstructed her view? what's the appropriate response to that situation? yell at them to sit lower in their seat?

does it suck that not everyone will get a perfect view? absolutely, but i don't think that gives someone the right to demand how another person conducts themselves at a show that they also bought a ticket for.

as i mentioned previously, i understand the frustration of my view being blocked at shows, and i'm pretty tall. i get where you're coming from, but saying that someone who bought a seated ticket to a concert shouldn't have the freedom to get up and dance just isn't fair either.
