  1. Far too many people fail to understand that in a free society you can't control people in a public setting. That's the whole premise of a free society haha.

  2. Maybe if they didn't have to pay $200 a seat they wouldn't feel so entitled.

  3. more rowdy crowds now because people get high and drunk before going in concert… I sure won't pay $$ to get myself crushed to death in crowded place

  4. For $5,000 a ticket I should be allowed to throw a brick at the performer.

  5. Lol metal shows are safer and physical contact is deliberate 😂

  6. No twerking on the concerts allowed 🚷❗️

  7. LOL Give me a BREAK? "CONCERT ETIQUETTE" ??
    Ever hear of ALIMONT!!?? how about the attempted Woodstock redo, TRAIN WRECK !! You can never bring back the free concerts of the 60's.

  8. Maybe the blind worshiping of talentless pop stars is the epicenter of the problem.

  9. Youth and culture reporter? No offense to the reporter cause she did a great job, just blows my mind we even need that position now

  10. I don't really mind any of this. What drives me nuts, though, are concerts where the entire audience is filming the show through upheld phone cameras instead of watching what is going on onstage.

  11. STOP making excuses for these people that dont care about anyone else except themselves. Manners, being kind, acting responsibly, concert etiquette isn't going to happen because these people beleive it is tbeir right to express themselves anyway they want too. They believe it is their constitutional right . Good luck with the mass mob control.

  12. Years a go you had respect for the artist and thay appreciated the fans now its all different you pay through the nose for a ticket most can't sing or f and blind at the fans or everyone rude I wouldn't go to a concert now as most so called artist are rubbish 😊 what's going on now at a live shows just like what's going on in the cinema rustling popcorn packets or chatting trough out the movie it rude 😂

  13. No hijabs in Iran concerts?

  14. Yeah honestly a double edged sword. It's great seeing live performances but audience can ruin it. I remember seeing the musical Wicked while the woman beside was playing with her hair for a good 10 mins. Then at a Bob Dylan concert this couple wanted to switch seats with me. I thought they were with the group beside me so I switched with them. Turns out they weren't with the group and my new seat had bad visibility as the handrails to the stairs were in the way. Other people really can sour the experience

  15. None of the people that complain about etiquette have never been to a metal concert. Being in the pit and moshing hard IS proper etiquette. I’ve seen pop and rock concerts. To me they’re fairly tame.

  16. That vaccine really drove you libs nuts. No problems at Sturgis.

  17. Going anywhere in America today is a risk. We have too many broken Americans who are armed.

  18. That's why I chill in the back, so I got space and can walk around

  19. Woodstock set the best example!

  20. your eyes look crazy with the reflection of your lighting.

  21. Republicans are the. Problem. Vote. Blue. 🧢

  22. The youth of today don't know what etiquette is, on god, no cap
