I'm sure there are tons of true fans who would love to be there and can't afford to. I would imagine the artist would prefer enthusiastic fans up front, but what do I know. 
OK, rant off now.  |
That's fair enough you and Sarge have experienced it but I haven't yet. I'm guessing it does happen, but like I said above those people are just foolish IMO. What a waste of money and time. Go and gamble the money away.
I can understand some people only knowing and wanting the greatest hits at live shows, if I went to a Bruce Springsteen concert they are the only ones I'd want to hear too, because I'm just a casual fan of his. But I wouldn't moan about it, I'd listen and enjoy the other songs too.
But I'll speak up for a lot of people that go to concerts when I say "only a handful of people go to moan and complain". You can't paint all concert goers with the same brush. It's always only a small majority.
