Was my husband right that it was better to leave mid-song?
My husband and I purchased tickets and went to a concert. When we arrived at the hall, there were only three others in attendance.
What would you advise in this situation? We didn’t want to be rude to the performers, but also didn’t want to waste our precious time enduring an awful concert.Although people these days appear to think of themselves as the stars of their own shows — and therefore usually take the side of the artist over the audience — etiquette does not actually require a paying audience to be willingly bludgeoned until catatonic.
Besides the fact that the sons are adults, I invited them separately because they live and work near our home, and I believed there was a chance they might have attended even if their parents could not. I have to admit I am hurt that none of them are attending either event, and I am also a bit put off that my sister responds on behalf of her adult sons, both of whom are capable of making their own decisions. In both cases, I have simply accepted their regrets by telling my sister that we understand and would miss them.
