as a usual standing goer, a healthy concert culture is supposed to be like that. people can’t stay in a place for hours without eating and going to the restroom because that would be hell. concerts are supposed to be a safe space for fans, a place where everyone can enjoy the experience without feeling uncomfortable or unwelcome. you should be able to step away from your spot and simply let the people around you know that you’ll be coming back. it’s understandable that people would want to be in front for a better view of the artist but that doesn’t give anyone a free pass to be rude or inconsiderate toward fellow fans just to get to the front. but then i guess it all boils down to what fan culture you’re into. during svt’s recent concert, we were at barricade (main stage), and the person who initiated buying food for the group was able to return to her spot because the people around us were kind enough to make way for her to exit and come back. mind you, this was in a stadium, a much bigger venue. it just goes to show that a little consideration and mutual respect can go a long way in making concerts a better experience for everyone 😸
