Why did they leave?

[martha]

The people sitting next to me in Portland got up and left in the middle of Love and Peace. WTF? They were sitting down the entire time before they left.

Choose a reason or make up your own! And, no, it wasn't due to my dancing.

I'm an excellent dancer.

The same thing happened with a couple in front of us at the Franz Ferdinand concert. Why come if you're just going to get pissed off if you can't sit down the entire concert and still see? The concert was excellent, too.

 

[corianderstem]

Maybe one of them wasn't feeling well, but they thought they'd try and make it through the show, rather than waste the tickets they'd bought.

Or they were lame-ass losers.

 

[bratty_cat]

Maybe they had friends in better seats and went to join them? This happened to a friend of mine and her husband.

Did i mention that we're gonna get Franz Ferdinand as openers...

SO LUCKY. Pun not intended.

 

[catlhere]

They probably only knew U2 from the Vertigo iPod commercial and just came to see that song?

Really I have no clue why you would leave, unless you just LIKE wasting money. What a worthless use of a ticket. Let's get em guys!!!!

YARRRRGGHHHH!

Yeah! : pitchforks and torches:

They were positively mortified when I was singing (rapping?) and dancing along to parts of Kanye's show.

God bless the early leavers.

Freeing up pairs of good seats allows many savvy real U2 fans to depart their $45 upper-deck behind-the-stage crap locations and head down to these newly vacated $165 seats.

Early leavers rule.

U2girl1978 and I were together at Boston; same thing happened to us,,a couple in front of us fought over "what a lousy band this was...!" WTF!! they left, everyone else around us sat while Julianne and I danced away...

Lousy band?? Did they NOT know where they were going when they left the house?

"Say, I have tickets to some band's concert...wanna go?"

"Who are they?"

"Not sure...U3? Something like that. Wanna go?"

"Okay!"

Idiots!

vidz please

Let's just say my main influences are Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley.

[caragriff]

2 people next to me left in nyc - they left right after miss sarajevo. i decided they left for one of 2 reasons: they didn't like opera or, um, they were stupid.

 

[starsgoblue]

 

[Lila64]

perhaps some people who 'leave' are trying to move down to a lower section or better seating?

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Darn curling irons....!!!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yea i'm guessing they're either moving to better seats or they got the tickets for free from some sort of business thing and don't really like the band and just decided that it was time to go.

 

[martha]

That would be the one.

 

[martha]

I doubt these jokers were moving to better seats. They wouldn't even stand up to see around everyone else who was standing up.

 

[theedge111]

Wow unreal, i drove 22hrs through freezing rain and a snowy mountain pass to see this show, and people left early? wtf?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'm gonna go with the "they don't really like u2 but got the tickets for free and figured what the hell" excuse then.

happens all the time at sporting events... so why not concerts, too

 

[chiso]

What pisses me off about these situations is the fact that other cool, die-hard U2 fans may not have been able to get tickets...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it's just a fact of the ticketing industry. the tickets that are given to businesses and indursty types, etc. etc. were never on sale to the public in the first place.

when they end up not being claimed or used, then they'll go back into the pool... normaly ending up in ticket drops online or day of show at the box office.

happens at just about every single event at a major venue... be it a sporting event or a concert.

I hate seeing yuppies who don't know ANY of the songs sitting down because their poor feet are tired or something.

Although I shouldn't complain, one of my shows was a result of "giveaways" to businesses and my friends' parents didn't want to go. They were damn good tickets, too.

Perhaps they had another commitment (like kids) and had to leave at a certain time. I've had to leave things because I needed to be home at a certain time before.

Or maybe they just didn't like 'em.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I have to leave early if I have to catch the train home and the last train out leaves before the concert is over. Maybe that's it

Some people also always have to beat traffic, they don't like to get stuck in it.

 

[sue4u2]

Has to be they were really sick, either physically or mentally..

Otherwise it's the "thought they were seeing someone else" syndrome..

Which makes them stupid.. and sick...
that's lethal..

Really? At all the concerts I went to they specifically held the local trains/transportation. I'd think the money they lost doing that would be a lot less pain than the inconvenience of thousands of people stranded on the streets...
