What annoys you the most about other concert goers?

[Nico]

I feel ya. It seems I always end up around some snotty too-good-to-stand-or-cheer casual fans with money whenever I go to concerts. When I saw Paul Simon's show, which was incredible the entire row in front of me was wearing Burberry coats and loafers and were sitting there, legs crossed, with smug looks on their faces. I personally didn't complain much because when I stood the fact that they were sitting made my view excellent. But they had pretty lousy attitudes and were sticking their noses up at people who were dancing. They were so snotty that I'm pretty sure the one lady hired someone to take the concert pics for her.

I don't care what anyone wears to a concert one iota but I CAN'T STAND people who go to shows and sit there with no energy and enthusiasm, especially when it's a rock concert, but even with someone like Paul Simon who's music is so much fun...just sitting there and chatting? You suck!

Totally agree. I'm sitting there thinking,"Geez. You are 10 feet from Don Henley and you cant even stand up."

Joe Walsh is up there owning some "Life in the Fast Lane" and she's sitting there discussing what she bought at Macy's yesterday. WTF?!

Ones that are drunk before the show even starts. When I went to see Stevie last year there were a couple a Drunks people in front of us that were drunk well before the show started and ended up getting thrown out a couple songs in. Way to waste 90 bucks on tickets.

Assholes who are careless with their beverages (alcoholic or otherwise) and are oblivious to when/where they spill them- even when its pointed out to them.

When I'm front row at a reserved seat concert- assholes who shove/grope their way into my personal space towards the end of the show. I have a perfect record in successfully getting these idiots thrown out of the venue in short order.

Really? When I was younger there was an unwritten rule that you shouldn't wear a t-shirt of the band you are going to see because it was considered uncool The one exception was if you bought the t-shirt at the show. I don't know though, I'm just saying. It might be a teenage thing.

I don't go to many arena shows, most of the bands I like tend to play clubs so one of my big annoyances is when really tall people stand at the front. I realise it's not their fault but for the next few rows standing behind them it's impossible to see.

The thing that annoys me most though is people talking throughout the show. I don't understand why you'd paid to see someone play and then pay no attention at all throughout the performance. It's weird.

yep. 1) concert endshow having to walk through a mashed mess of what looks like wet toiletpaper pulverized by dance) 2) drunks 3) although I do enjoy pics; a sea of cellphones can become annoying at times.

There was a dude who I think was smoking weed at our concert last night- kind of odd and weird. I was waiting for Stevie to say something!

Yes, she would say, "Lindsey, put that thing out! We're LIVE!"

I would find it odd/weird if I went to a rock concert and DIDN'T smell weed at some point.

Drunks and potheads...I have no problem with them. They can't help themselves. But it's the people who SHOULD KNOW BETTER BUT don't realize that your seat ENDS here and my seat BEGINS HERE! Those are the people I have a problem with.

Saw Eric Clapton a while back. The three girls next to me and the husband paid for three seats, but they needed six. I just backed off and let them dance. I think they ruined "Wonderful Tonight" forever for me.

Oh that happened to me at a Donna Summer concert. There was dinner before so there were tables and a stupid guy called his female friends and filled all the space in front of me, pushing everybody. It was disco, not slam dance! I was really upset and became more troglodite than him so I pushed everybody and finally took his best seat and I ended closer to Donna than them.
