When Is It Appropriate to Sit at a Concert? And to Stand?

0:00 Sissy is a concert goer. She goes to a lot of shows.

0:02 Sure.

0:02 It's part of the gig. It is part of the gig.

0:05 Yeah.

0:06 But the question is, you know, when you, you stand or you stand up and you sit down and stand up or you stand.

0:11 Up the whole time.

0:12 Yep. What do you, what you can't sit down at a show once people around you are standing.

0:18 That's the feeling.

0:19 Well, one, you won't be able to see anything, so you're forced to stand up. But if everyone's seated around you, then you feel pressure if you want to stand up and, like, dance or enjoy the song or two.

0:29 So what do you do? So what do you do? I usually feel the crowd out.

0:34 It is rare that I'll be the only one up on my feet and, like, grooving unless.

0:42 It's, like, one of my favorite artists or something. But sometimes people don't sit down for the whole show.

0:47 Well.

0:48 they're sitting down behind me and I'm standing up, then they're going to be forced to be stand up.

0:54 I often get people taller than me in front of me standing and I have to do a lean or ask to swap seats with somebody that's next to me to see past them. I just think if you're into it, forget about what everybody else is thinking and go with what you're feeling.

1:08 That's what you need to do. You're you paid for the ticket. You're at the show. Enjoy it how you want to enjoy it. Forget about everybody else. What if they're telling you to sit down? Did somebody tell you to sit down? And past concerts. Yeah, for sure. People were like, who can't see over you? You're on air with Orion Seacrest.
