So tonight I went to the Queen concert at Chase Center in San Francisco. Within 10 min of being in my seat, a song comes on that I like and I stand up. The woman behind me asks me to sit down as I’m blocking her view. Then within minutes, security comes by and demands that I sit down: I was like, really??? I’m at a concert, am I not allowed to stand up? I tell security that I live a few blocks away and go to concerts at Chase often and have never been asked to sit down. They said I can stand but only in “short increments”. Long story short, it ruined my night. Honest opinion, was I in the wrong? Side note, I’m in my 50’s and understand it’s an older crowd, but seriously? I saw plenty of other happy people standing up! #misc #queen #concerts #sanfrancisco
If you want to stand, buy the general floor area. If you bought seat tickets - then sit your ass down, theres people behind you
I haven’t been to a general seating concert in like 20 years. 🤔
It's not about You meta, take cues from the people around you. There's a balance between enjoying yourself and being obnoxious
Wait, you're allowed to sit at concerts?
People falls off the balcony at Chase Center before. Their insurance policy might not allow standing. Also blocking people behind you can start a fight.
Plenty of people were standing and dancing, including people in the front row of the balcony area (even some guys with shirts off that were obviously wasted).
True, people cliff dive too but if they get hurt they can’t sue Mother Nature.
This you OP? https://youtu.be/Be5Wb9i-c6s?si=cKRUFq11yeTVXBl5
Haha, not even close. I was like the old person clapping along to a song I liked.
Short answer - Read the room. Long answer - For the most part, if you have an assigned seat, just sit. Especially for Queen. It's a bunch of olds who couldn't stand even if they wanted to. I was just at a concert at a small venue. GA in a theater. Everyone sat for the opening act and then stood the entire time for the main act.
Buy standing tickets and sit on the floor.
