I rememeber going to see Noel during the first High Flying Birds tour at Manchester Arena and, yeah we was seated but, that is no excuse for me and my OH being the only two people around who was singing along to the songs yet the people all in the same row as us on their bloody phones. The people next to us only starting singing when Don't Look Back In Anger played. Ruined our night and we wished we jumped the barrier like the couple of people who was supposed to be in front of us did. Also, people throwing piss is THE worst. Just go to the bloody toilet and piss there...you're supposed to be civilised people Pissing in a cup and throwing it is out of order but I've pissed in a pint pot and subtly emptied in the floor many a time at outdoor gigs / festivals. Not a sniff am I going to the kazie mid-way through a gig at a festival. It'd take a week to get through the crowds and find my mates. Ok, that I can accept, it's just the whole chucking it about I cannot stand

Something I've encountered more than once at gigs is a stranger makes conversation but then they say they're not even that big a fan but they blagged some tickets. I've had this said to me quite a few times and it annoys me because I think well, there are people out there who are massive fans and they couldn't get tickets. Meanwhile here's a daft tit who isn't even that arsed in the front row. The other thing that I don't get about that is a gig involves quite a bit of hassle with travelling, manoeuvring through the crowds etc. Why the hell would anyone go through that if they weren't even that big a fan of the performer in the first place? It's as baffling to me as James Corden's success.

It's as baffling to me as James Corden's success. literally the exact same. some french guy said he would "fight my teeth" when i went to see the rhcp and they werent coming on for another 40 mins and i was pretty far back trying to get through. also at that bbc radio 2 lg concert, nobody was jumping about or talking... i cant stand all these 'fans' that dont wanna participate in the crowd cos thats what makes the gig better

Short people who complain about taller people standing in front of them. Like you have more right to stand somewhere because you're short?

best thread idea ever. this will sound snobbish- but i hate buying great seats at the front of the house and people in front of you insist on standing- for every song! even the slow ones you can enjoy just as well...from your seat! oh yeah - also hate people who feel the need to record every song with their phone... and when people get sloppy with their drinks. but other than that...i love live shows hah.

People hoisting their fucking iPads aloft, as if they were a phone. Flying beer, moshing, wellends, I can take them all. But a 10-inch bright screen being held up by the mook in front of me? Now we've got a problem. In that case I wouldn't mind about the flying beer as long as most of the liquid hits the iPad

Oh and I'm over 6.1ft, is that "too tall" category? I haven't got that much experience óf gigs mainly 'cos I live in a town where nothing ever happens, but the few gigs I've attented have all been good. Kasabian in Rome was maybe the most "interesting" concert experience because I went there with a bunch of drunken chavs from England (+ two actually nice guys from London). I was in the middle of the moshpit getting bruises everywhere, sweaty as hell and watching when one of those "lads" started fighting with some Italian guy. It was fun, though Although I was very near of experiencing some serious dehydration afterwards because I didn't have time to buy any liquid during the show and I was probably 3 hours without drinking at 25C weather jumping around...

- People who yell requests… especially if it's a popular song you know they're going to play near the end of the set and you're only two songs in. I actively hope they don't play said requested song, just to spite you. - That one girl who tries to get in front of you for no other reason than she's a girl. I waited for hours to get my spot. I'm not giving it up for you because you have boobs and a vagina. - The people at standing room only gigs ignorant of the concept of personal space. - The people at standing room only gigs who try to claim too much personal space. - Gropers. Seriously. Fuck those disgusting fucks. I hope their dicks magically fall off… even if it might be too small for them to notice. - People who throw shit at the stage. I hope security gets a solid punch or two on you when they kick you the fuck out.

I’m tall enough for a girl but yeah taller people in front of me. Also I was self conscious about dancing/jumping/singing/screaming when others around don’t but screw that I paid money to have a good time! Especially when seeing my favorite bands. Some people I wonder why they even go to the concert, they don’t seem to know a single song!

some people's is phones.. mine is people who stand fucking still. If youre at a gig, particularly an LG/oasis gig, fucking jump about and have it I like to just stand completely fucking still like a boxer just thinking, "this is the best feeling in the world." Pure control. Not feeling the need to join the madness. Just absolute fucking still.

Tall people, can't they just stand at the back or something. There should be a height limit for gigs. I'm 6'4" and 275 lbs. You saying you'd bar me from entry? I typically will try to be understanding if there is a short person directly behind me at a general admission show and I'll let them in front of me. I even stayed in my seat last Friday night at Noel's show in Las Vegas so the people behind me could see as they were all fairly short. The people sitting in front of me all stood pretty much the whole time and I missed about half the show, at least the view anyway.

I was only joking mate, of course it's ridiculous to prevent someone from going to a gig because of their height. You sound like a very generous person and I'd be very thankful if someone taller than me let me stand in front of them at a concert.

hhmm, after some reflection I've decided my least favorite thing about a gig is when Liam only played for barely more than an hour after I flew to Minnesota from Houston to see him last Thanksgiving!
