Me, mid-thirties and still jumping in the pit during the headliner: what?
A lot of us don't take great care of our bodies, unfortunately.
and/or bad genetics and/or physically degrading occupations :(
(i have neither i have no excuse haha)
Early 40s here and I stood last year for GnR and they're always late. No regrets. Still go to metal and electronic music gigs / "raves"
Yeah for higher energy bands especially, I just don't get wanting to sit at shows. I'd rather just not go if I didn't think I could stand/dance through a concert. I think it's cool when venues have some designated seating for those who need it but it's always kind of a bummer when I go and it's mostly or only seated..kinda kills the energy
Yeah, I'd much rather be on gen-ad and standing than sitting up in the bleachers, but for some concerts it's like 4x more for gen-ad over seated sections. Sucks, but I'd rather see the band sitting than pay that ridiculous mark up for it.
