Sometimes, I go to events. I recently went to a concert at Cazino Constanța.
We couldn’t go early enough to get some good places, so we stayed outside the event area.
I noticed that if I stay close enough to the event, two things happen:
#1 The music is louder, and easier to follow;
#2 People, by respect, get quieter, and, again, the event is easier to follow.
There are only good parts in getting closer to the stage.
PS: This means I found out that sitting in the front at an event helps. :)
