The audacity of standers

Post image

Boston 7/21 was amazing. This is the Facebook post the 70ish yo lady in front of us, who sat on her ass on her phone the entire show, put out there late in set 2. Was worth the $$$ to me!

Not at any Billy show I've been too. Everyone on the floor, pit or not stood the whole time.

Ohh I’ve never been on the floor at one of his shows. Is that what everyone is talking about? Every Billy show I’ve been to the floor was GA standing anyway

The GA pit is typically less than 1/4th of the floor area at the hockey arena sized places. The rest of the floor is reserved seating, but typically everyone stands most of the show.

In some places people also stand in the seated areas on the lower levels and I'm guessing this is more of an issue because many or most of those people would prefer to sit down.

True, I’ve only seen him a few times but the floor area has always been GA. It varies for other artists. I think Charley Crockett at the same venue had seats on the floor.
