    Lizzo was amazing again ❤️ I struggled with the fact that a lot of the people in my section just did not stand up! It’s Lizzo, it’s dance music, you gotta stand, dance, and enjoy…so I did. Lol. I did sit more for this one then Mondays concert though. Is this standard for concerts? Because for both Lorde and Harry, we stood the entire time.

      I think it depends from artist to artist. If I had to generalise - the older the crowd, the more likely people in the seats are going to sit for the entire concert. Lorde and Harry would attract a younger crowd, Lizzo an older crowd. I don’t understand how people can sit through a pop/dance/rock/upbeat music concert and so I’ll typically get GA tickets.

        True, it could definitely be that, noticed a lot of parents with children, both young children and adult children that perhaps would prefer to sit. Thankfully the stands are tiered so no one other than the people beside me are standing at my level behind me (and I’m shortish) so I don’t think I obstructed too many peoples views or at least I hope not.

      Sometimes ppl purchase seated tickets cos they can’t stand for a period of time (disability/ fatigue/ chronic health issues/ sore feets from working all day…). If you wanna do more than dance/ enjoy while seated, select GA tix?

        That is true, I hadn’t considered that side of things. I would’ve got GA but they sold out before I could. And I chose still have a seat because whilst I wanted to stand and dance during the concert, I didn’t love the idea of being sandwiched between a bunch of people as I overheat easily and struggle to regulate my temperature. It was just interesting observing the differences in even just the seated areas of crowds. Some sections were all standing and others weren’t.
