On the topic of sitting... it's fine if someone wants to sit if they don't complain. I've sat before cos I was too exhausted to stand. During Foo Fighters, even. But, I didn't complain cos others were standing... that's just stupid.
I know some people enjoy concerts more when sitting, too. There was a kid at Metallica who asked if the seat next to me was empty (which it was). He had a pit ticket (!!!) but wanted to sit and enjoy the show instead of standing. I totally should've taken his ticket and went down (he said he'd trade with whoever's seat it was if they ever showed up), but I didn't wanna leave Monkey alone.

A few thoughts on the tall/short sitting/standing thing.
I'm tallish, my friend that I mainly go to concerts with is short. You can't say that so that everyone can see I should go and stand at the back with the tall people and he could be at the front with the short people cos that would be no fun. Generally we move around until he can see at least something but it normally ends up that I have a pretty good over people's heads and he can see one band member at a time through gaps between other people's heads. It sucks for him, but that's life.
As for sitting/standing I have mixed views. I generally think people should be standing at least for the headlining band but I tend to fit in with what the people around me are doing. At Radiohead I was up and dancing because the people in front of me were, in spite of the people behind me constantly moaning very loudly about people standing up and not being able too see. So not only could they not see but they weren't even listening! There have been occassions where I've got seats because I've been ill and not had the energy to stand up for 3 hours and wanted to sit for the support band and then stand for the main bands - but then I'll try to do what everyone around me is doing. I can still dance whilst sitting in my seat The only problem would be if there were small children or old or disabled people who couldn't cope with standing.
Ok, I'm tired and rambling so I'll shut up before I confuse myself.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
I got tickets for SNOW PATROL /Athlete today. They are playing May 20th.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
But, I didn't complain cos others were standing... that's just stupid.
doors were at 4:30!!!
