However, it is your responsibility to find proper accommodations to make the event more comfortable for you. I don't think it's fair to make that everyone else's problem and expect them to sit in their seats for the whole show either. I think that mentality is extremely entitled and annoying and as concert tickets continue to get more and more expensive, what you're essentially demanding is that moving and dancing at shows be gatekept to those who can afford expensive general admission tickets. And what if those people also have issues standing for the entire show? Do they not also deserve to know they have somewhere to sit if they need it? I'm sorry, but fuck that. And I'm tired of this notion that this is a symptom of inconsiderate people who "don't know how to behave in public" and not just people looking to escape reality and let loose for a few hours.

So what is the solution here? I always try to buy general admission tickets if I can, even though I'd really appreciate having a seat, but sometimes I just cannot afford them. If I do buy seats I always try to buy in the very back row of the section I'm in because I want to be considerate but have no interest in being bound to a seat all night. Would it be helpful if venues had specific “sitting room only" sections where fans are explicitly expected to remain seated, for those who may want or need that?
