Strangers ruined a concert for me.
Went to a concert a few nights ago for my favorite artist. Got my friend and I really good seats for and have been looking forward to this for months. Well, the row behind us had about 5 people just loudly talking through most of the songs. The worst is that fact that for every quieter song, I couldn’t even hear the artist they were talking and laughing so much. I turned around and asked if they could just tone it down as it was really distracting and rows in front of us can even hear them (so many people were turning around to look and give dirty looks).
After asking the first time, it was okay for a couple songs but the next slower song came and I asked again, please tone it down. And while the guy was much nicer about the one lady took the stance of “I’m allowed to talk, I’m outside” and I respond with the fact that yeah but you’re also at a concert.
I just genuinely don’t understand why you spend that amount of money to see someone in concert and to then not listen to the artist??? How do people not have the decency to recognize that it’s horribly disrespectful for the people around you?? They were quieter-ish but we could hear them just make off handed comments the rest of the night.
I’m truly heart broken watching all the videos pop up of the concert because, what was supposed to be of the best memories with my friend is now overshadowed by people being assholes
