While attending a live performance by your favorite band can be an unforgettable experience, some concertgoers’ lack of concert etiquette can make it frustrating and uncomfortable.

Music is meant to be moving and delightful, but sometimes you just want someone would shut up or that someone else’s giant bag would be checked in or left at home. The idea that you should simply ignore or relocate to a new location isn’t always practical or easy to implement. Concert etiquette, on the other hand, can go a long way.

If you’re going to a concert, here are some things to avoid:

Constant Chattering

Disrespecting the artist or band on stage in front of you is bad enough, but it’s downright impolite to people surrounding you. The rest of us are trying to enjoy the show and not hear about how many people have found love online.

Not Respecting Someone’s Space

Some people purposefully slam into the persons in front of them. Males are typically the ones who get too close to women. We’re aware that concerts can be a bit of a squeeze, but there are a lot of creeps out there that do this deliberately. Having a sweaty guy bumping and grinding on you while there is plenty of room around is just not acceptable.

Claustrophobes

When concertgoers demand their own space, they’re being just as annoying as the dreaded grinders. Yes, if the concert permits for it, you are free to avoid having someone blow their bad breath in your face. However, you are not free to occupy a spot where at least four more people can fit comfortably. Attending a performance and feeling annoyed by the audience is a ridiculous notion. Pay for VIP or premium seating if you desire personal space.

Big Hats

It’s obvious. The idea of wearing a broad brimmed hat to a performance is just plain silly, no matter how fashionable you are. I understand that some hats are OK, but if your hat occupies more area than your entire body, it’s not acceptable. So many people’s paths will be blocked by your hat, and that’s on top of the inconvenience it causes them.

Being Tall

Being a tall man or woman does not give you the right to ram your way to the front and stand immediately in front of others who are less than three feet tall than you.   Moving forward is the only option if you are unable to see and the fellow in front of you who was there far longer than you were. It’s quite OK to urge anyone to move up or back a few spaces, regardless of how long they’ve been in their current place.

Aggressive Drunks

Inebriated patrons who don’t care about the music, but only want to down shots of tequila and beers will occasionally show up. These are the types of men that are constantly on the prowl for a fistfight. These types of men are unusually reluctant to attend live performances. Visit BetterHelp to read more on the dangers of violent behavior and why some people choose to behave in such a way.

Being Uncourteous To Opening Bands

In spite of how poor the opening act may be, you should not make them feel bad. Neither booing the headlining act nor heckling or hurling objects are permitted. Observe, applaud, and cheer. At the very least, they’re making an effort.

Too Cool For School

People like them don’t show any emotion during concerts because they’re too cool for that. They don’t even move, much less dance. They   They don’t applaud. They don’t move at all. They can also doze off at times. No one has to get up and dance, but you should show some respect for the artist who is performing right in front of you.

If you’ve ever been annoyed by the things on this concert-etiquette checklist, don’t worry: You’re not breaking any rules. In the end, we all want to have a great time at the show, so let’s spread the word.
