General Admission Concerts Are Way Better Than Stadium Concerts

Yeah, you might be sweaty, but what made you think you wouldn't be sweaty?

General Admission Concerts Are Way Better Than Stadium Concerts
Personal

People love concerts. They love the ambiance and the community that surrounds it. Concerts provide fans an opportunity to see the music they love played right in front of their eyes.

Essentially, there are two types of concerts: stadium concerts and general admission concerts.

Stadium concerts are great because they allow for more fans to come and see their favorite artists. My problem with stadium concerts is that you have assigned seats.

Yes, in the name of keeping order, it makes sense, but I don't want to go to a concert if I can't fight my way through the crowd.

That's what I love most about general admission. General admission concerts let you stand off on the outskirts of the crowd and keep your personal space if you choose. But if you really want to fight your way to the barrier, you can.

The best general admission concerts aren't the ones for popular indie singers. Those only have fans pushing towards the barrier relentlessly.

The best ones are the rock concerts, any concert where you find mosh pits, circle pits, or even walls of death. They allow for the crowd to become this fluid motion. You can feel the main pit open and close next to you, but a smaller pit can open up on the opposite side.

That break in the crowd gets sweaty bodies off of you and you can finally feel a breeze. It's like getting a sip of water during a workout.

I don't hate stadium concerts, but I don't understand them. Why spend so much money on an assigned seat? Why not fight your way through a crowd? Why not get a spot close enough that you don't need to zoom in on videos?

I'll never tell someone not to go to a stadium, I just don't understand it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
