    So you though it was ok to ruin other peoples enjoyment because yours wasn't as you expected.

    Disgusting...I would have hoped they chucked you out.

    So you're the sort of person that would happily pay for a ticket, then not be able to see the show, and just accept it.

    You can deal with this problem you know, you don't just have to accept your inadequacies. Try here: http://www.cipd.co.uk/cipd-training/courses-qualifications/behavioural-skills-personal-effectiveness/assertiveness-for-maximum-impact/

    I don't understand.

    Perhaps this isn't the site for you then.

    If you read the post, I actually apologised to everyone for disturbing the event and I did wait till they were end of song, I only hope that next time you go to a show that some idiot in front of you blocks your view and then your realise what an inconvience it was.

    To be honest I lost count the number of people that came up and said thank you, - as there was 8 people that I know of who complained to the duty manager. i paid my money to see the show, not though someones camera.
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Were they sitting down? If yes then you could have stood up. ;)

    If they were standing, a tap to the back of the knee soon gets them to sit down. ;)

    No I personally would have kept on at the manager.

    So apologising makes it ok? No of course not.

    Still wrong in my opinion and would have been wrong for a % of the other people in the theatre.

    As above, you should have kept on at the manager rather than disturb other peoples enjoyment

    I would have been in that %, I'd have been fuming if someone had stood up and stopped the band (how is that not disrespectable?) while they were singing....one of the rudest things I've heard in a long time.

    You paid your money to see the show....yeah, and so did all the other people who's concert you interrupted.

    What part of "I did wait till they were end of song" don't you understand?

    What part of "by this time showaddywaddy had stopped singing and were gobsmacked" don't you understand?

    So they were obviously still singing until some mad woman went running onto the stage.
