None of the above. I add:
Obviously intoxicated, loud, or belligerent concertgoers who are not promptly removed
I did vote for one item in the poll, but my top pet peeve wasn’t listed: people around you (intoxicated or not) who insist on conversing during the concert. If your conversation is that important, leave the venue!
I was at a classical concert on Friday, and someone took a very long time unwrapping a sucking candy. That was very annoying!
I think it depends on the venue, etc. I go to many of the music festivals and with several stages plus many venues, it’s expected for you to roam between areas. At a seated show with one stage, this is obviously different.
However, I find umbrellas and high chairs to be the most annoying as they blatantly suggest that their owners don’t care about anyone else’s experiences. Concerts should be about community building, not self-centered enjoyment.
