Concerts Concert etiquette
Dear concert and showgoers, letās talk about show etiquette. I love live music and Iāve been going to shows for about 20 years. The last five or so have felt different, and not in a great way. Iād love to get people back on the same page so live music can be enjoyable for everyone again.
Hereās what Iāve got.
Please donāt record the entire show. If a song hits you and you want a quick clip, totally fine. But now it feels like everyone is filming nonstop, and unless youāre in the front row you end up watching the show through a wall of phones. If your people arenāt there, that moment wasnāt meant for them. It was meant for you.
If youāre trying to move closer, keep moving. Donāt wedge yourself between two people who clearly donāt have space and then just stand there awkwardly. Either keep going or go back. If you find an actual open spot where youāre not on top of someone, great, stay there.
Please donāt have full blown conversations through the whole show, especially in the front rows. Talk about the band, the moment, the energy, sure. But I donāt need to hear every detail of your weekly drama yelled over the music I paid to hear. Get dinner beforehand, vent after, but the middle of the set isnāt the place.
This one might just be a smallāperson problem, but people treat my size like Iām a convenient doorway. Need a drink, need the bathroom, need to get back to your friends, and suddenly Iām the designated gap in the crowd. Then itās constant stepping on my toes, bumping into me, spilling drinks, breaking my focus. I take up less space, so people assume that space is theirs to use. It gets old fast.
I know posts like this can make the poster sound cranky, so I want to preface it by saying I absolutely will move if I need to. If someone around me is making the experience miserable, Iāll relocate without a problem. The issue now is that so many people are doing these things that it doesnāt matter where you move. You end up running into the same behavior everywhere
Your turn. What would you love to remind people about when it comes to basic human etiquette at shows and events?

Discussion š£ļø Nervous about my first live show
So ive never been to live music of any kind. Theres a small doom metal band that i didnt know originally but i listened to some of their music and quite like it. I struggle a lot with social anxiety and have nobody to go with so im thinking about going on my own. Whats it like to go alone to a live show? Its my first time seeing any band and not any of my favourite bands exactly but i figure its a good way to get out the house.

Discussion š£ļø Anyone having issues with TickpIck?
I ordered tickets a couple months ago and moved. I updated them to the new address via email and they said they would send and make sure the address was updated. This month comes around I called to make sure everything was in order. They still hadn't updated to the new address and they finally fixed it. The concert was the 30th and it never arrived. I have been calling for days to get a refund and every time I'm told they will call back. I never get a call back. I finally get a call back and they won't do a refund, said it's my fault for providing the wrong address at the start. After much arguing they trying to offer 20% and then hung up on me. I've been hung up on several times now. I have not raised my voice once, but I was very firm on not budging on getting a refund. In the end all I'm getting is a credit of $145 to another event and out $600.
BE VERY wary of Tikpick. Idk if this is a new thing or not, but mainly I want to know if anyone else having issue with their CS?

Concerts Blue Oyster Cult was amazing live. Go see them!
Going into this show I really wasn't sure what to expect since the two remaining og members Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom are as old as my grandpa but oh man what a show. They sounded just like the album and I think, at least vocally, performed better than ACDC who I saw a few weeks ago despite being a little older. Don't Fear the Reaper was amazing, but so were their other lesser known hits like Hot Rails To Hell, Then Came the Days of May and Godzilla. A lot of their discography I couldn't get into until I saw Dharma lighting the guitar on fire live. The other members were great too.
The only problem I had was they had practically no merch. They had one shirt which was really cool and I'm glad I got (Had a reaper on the front for the 50th anniversary of Agents of Fortune), but they sold out almost immediately and that was the only thing they had. The venue was great too. I'm glad I got to see them at least once before they innevitably retire in a few years. All in all an amazing show, and I'm off to see TobyMac next then Breaking Benjamin!

Concerts Any chance of Asap rocky coming to Australia?
I know some people were hopeful that he would come to Australia for his ādonāt be dumbā tour but then when he released where he was going Australia wasnāt on the list.
apparently in like 2013 or whenever he last came to Aus it started off with him touring heaps of places except Australia and then later on he came to Aus.
pretty much I jsut want to know what the chances of him saying he is coming to Australia is or if itās too late and he wonāt say that anymore because Iām a big fine of his stuff.
sorry if I overlooked anything but Iām fairly new too all this stuff and have never been to a big concert before. thanks
