I bugs me when Im trying to get up front to get a good close up with my phone and people are in the way. Then I miss a good photo because of dealing with the no-flow wall of people. And then the music is so loud they cant hear when Im plitely repeatedly holler excuse me point blank in their ears, I mean really yelling, no response, like a pack of sardine zombies - then as Im squeezing thru they dont move, so my beer jostles my whole hardearned beer all over someones clothes who then gets upset at me, blaming me when I was the one who has to go back out for another beer and go thru the whole maddening process all over again.
Great topic. Always enjoy reading various viewpoints. I love going to concerts. Unless it’s a really quiet setting, talkers don’t bother me. I don’t mind the drunks or people signing either. People come to have fun and let loose. I like to be up front and focus on the music but I understand everyone has different priorities. I always feel like I can slip in and out of a concert crowd fairly easily. Unless you’re in the first 2-3 rows and there is literally no where to go, I don’t mind people going in front me to try and get closer or whatever. I stand in my space and nobody bothers me. Wanna get by or move closer go ahead. Always find it amusing when someone puffs their chest out and refuses to let me by. I smile, tap someone else on the shoulder, and politely slide around them in two seconds. When you go to a show, please leave your aggression at home. People behind me at an Eric Clapton concert (with Derek Trucks) asked me to sit down. I did but it was a total buzz kill until the entire arena stood and remained standing a few songs later. For those that are easily annoyed at concerts I implore you, stay home. Buy the dvd. Stream the show on Nugstv or YouTube in the comfort of your living room.
Winner winner, chicken dinner! I couldn't have written it better myself! Great post!!

Either this guy is joking, or he is the epitomy of this thread. For SRO shows it's a serious violation to push your way to the front. Common courtesy is apparently not so common.
When they run out of the shirt I want or they don't have their new CD there... what a better place to sell your new music?????
