Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Last week I went to a concert at a large arena venue. We were literally second to last row and these nosebleeds are so high that you're looking down at the stage. If someone in front of you stands up, you literally can't see anything but the rafters.

For some background, this was Fleetwood Mac. There were many age ranges. Mostly, however, there were older people (70s, seriously) and several of them I heard complaining about knees hurting and such. So the concert begins and literally nobody except those down in the general admission against the stage itself are standing because old people and you can't see shit and most people are being courteous.

Now, let me say that I understand people want to stand at concerts and I am all for it given certain circumstances but you have to gauge your audience and the venue. Literally NO ONE in the upper bowl was standing.

So, about four songs into the concert these three young girls come late and don't sit down. I let it go for a moment, but they're directly in front of me and I can't see shit. So I gently tap the girl directly in front of me and say, "Excuse me, but when you stand up like that, I can't see anything." She immediately gets aggressive. "So, what?! I'm not allowed to stand up at all during the concert?!?!" I said, "Literally no one else around you is standing. There are older people here who can't stand this long, and nobody behind you can see." At this point she turns to the people around us and starts asking rudely, "Can y'all see?!?! I think you can see!" And after a moment, one older guy in the row behind me just goes, "NO!"

So she sits down. This happened during my all time favorite Fleetwood Mac song, so now I am pissed that the song is ruined. I'm trying to enjoy myself and let go of my anger. She obviously can't let it go, because almost a minute later she whirls around and goes, "THERE ARE MUCH BETTER WAYS YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT TO ME!!" and I said, "I'm not getting into this with you. Turn around!"

She didn't take it any further. The next four songs, they were scoping out empty lower bowl seats and eventually left to go steal some.. which I was more than okay with. However, the more I thought about it, the more I wondered if I was being unreasonable asking her to sit down. I mean, it IS a concert. 

If you're looking DOWN at the stage, I feel it's rude to stand and completely obscure the people behind you, especially when no one else is standing. I can understand standing if you're eye level to the stage or looking up at it, or if it's general admission. 

IDK. The older man agreeing that he couldn't see either made me feel a little validated, plus the fact that she immediately got aggressive which means she was expecting someone to say something.. but, maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut and stood up (thus obscuring more people's views) myself.
