Concert Etiquette 101 – Tips to Make Your Next Concert Perfect for Everyone

Cole Ruster — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:40:53 +0000

Live music events can be a fun experience; however, it only takes a few rotten eggs to turn that experience into a big stinking omelet. Most people don't set out for a fun evening of friends, music, and drinks while planning on annoying the snot out of everyone around them, but for some reason this still manages to happen. A lot. Bad concert goers have been a plague on us normal music lovers since those annoying screaming girls ruined the Beatles and Elvis concerts for our parents. So what gives? Why can't everyone just get along and not wreak such havoc on other people's evening? The answers, I think, run much deeper than lack of concert etiquette, but following these simple guidelines will ensure you don't bug your fellow concert goers to the point of receiving an atomic head butt before you get to see the headlining band.

When it comes to marriage, or any type of long term relationship, money can be the root of some pretty jacked up arguments as far as managing your finances together.
